* 75 gram margarine/butter
* 250 ml water
* 150 gram flour, sifted

* 100 gram raisins
* ½ of a young coconut, the flesh scraped out in thin slivers




Instructions:

* Melt the margarine/butter in the water, add the flour and blend it until smooth. Add the sugar, salt and vanilla. When the batter is well blended, take off the fire and cool down.
* Break the eggs one by one into the batter, beating well after each addition. Add the santan (coconut milk) little by little and beat until batter is smooth.
* Heat the mud cake molds, oil them and fill them ¾ full. Cover with their heated kuds and cook until they are half done. Open the lids and cook until they are half done. Open the lids and scatter a few raisins and coconut slivers on top.
* Cover again and continue cooking for about 5 minutes. Unmold and serve

Ingredients:

* 1 ripe black-skinned plantain or 4 small finger banana (make sure that the banana is sweet)
* 1 egg
* 1 tsp. sugar
* 6 Tbs. flour
* water
* a pinch of salt
* vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions:

* Place flour in a deep mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle of the flour, and add egg, sugar and salt. Add water little by little. Whisk vigorously until batter is evenly smooth for coating and not too thin. If it is too thin, add more flour.
* Peel plantain or banana and cut in half lengthwise and then cut again with 4-inch width. Dip into batter to coat generously.
* Heat oil in a wok or deep fryer until moderately hot. Place coated plantain or banana in the wok or deep fryer and fry slowly until golden brown and crispy. This usually take approximately 10-15 minutes. Remove bananas from oil, drain on paper napkins and dry well.
* Serve while still warm

Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients:

* 1¾ cup black glutinous rice
* 2 pandan leaves
* 5 cups of water
* ½ cup palm sugar syrup
* Pinch of salt
* 1½ cups fresh squeezed thick coconut milk

Instructions:

* Rinse rice thoroughly for 2 minutes under running water. Drain well. Put 5 cups of water, rice and pandan leaves into a heavy stockpot. Simmer over medium heat for approximately 40 minutes.
* Add palm sugar syrup and continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with a pinch of salt. Remove from heat, allow to cool. Serve at room temperature, topped with a swirl of fresh squeezed creamy coconut milk.

Helpful hints: As fresh coconut milk turns rancid fairly quickly, a pinch of salt is usually added to the milk to preserve it for a few hours.

Makes 4 servings.

sources : ??

Ingredients:

* 260 gram rice flour
* 150 gram granulated sugar
* 4 eggs
* ½ tsp. cinnamon powder
* 450 cc coconut milk from 1 coconut
* cooking oil for greasing

Instructions:

* Mix the flour and sugar thoroughly. Add beaten eggs, stir well. Pour the coconut milk and cinnamon into the flour mixture. Stir well.
* Heat the cookie mold over a low flame, grease with cooking oil. Put 2 Tbs. of dough into mold and smooth out with the back of the spoon. Close the mold by joining the two halves. Bake over a low flame on each side for about 5 minutes. After the dough is golden brown, roll it right away. Cool on a rack.

Note:

* The cinnamon cookie mold usually has carvings in different shapes on both inner sides of the iron sheet. These shapes usually are circles with lace like edges.
* When pouring in the mix, keep the mold flat to ensure that the dough does not spread. Smooth the dough out on the circle shape section of the mold.
* Roll the dough when it is still hot. If not, the cookie will dry out and will not be able to be rolled. To be safe, roll while the cookie is still in the mold over heat. Start by hand, then roll again with the help of a small spatula. Remove and let cool.
* Keep the dough not too thin but not too thick. If it is too watery or thin, the dough will not be able to stick to the mold, and will spread out of place. Because the dryness of rice flour varies, do a test: if it is too watery, add flour. If it is too thick, add water.

Makes 50 rolls.

hmm...crsipy..yummy

Add sufficient water to result in a soft, smooth dough. If the rice cakes are dry when shaped, they will be very tough after cooking.

Tanah Lot means "Land in the Middle of the sea" in Balinese language^{[citation needed]}. Located in Tabanan, about 20 km from Denpasar, the temple sits on a large offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.

Tanah Lot is claimed to be the work of the 15th century priest Nirartha. During his travels along the south coast he saw the rock-island's beautiful setting and rested there. Some fishermen saw him, and bought him gifts. Nirartha then spent the night on the little island. Later he spoke to the fishermen and told them to build a shrine on the rock for he felt it to be a holy place to worship the Balinese sea gods.^{[citation needed]}

The Tanah Lot temple was built and has been a part of Balinese mythology for centuries. The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. Each of the sea temples were established within eyesight of the next to form a chain along the south-western coast.

At the base of the rocky island, poisonous sea snakes are believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruders. As well as one giant snake which also protects the temple, which was created from Nirartha’s scarf when he established the island.

Located on the northeastern coast of Bali, is the small village of Candidasa. A tranquil coastal area nestled between the Lombok Strait to the east and mountains to the west, Candidasa is within close proximity to many historical landmarks of Bali including Bali's mother temple, Pura Besakih, Tenganan (the aboriginal people of Bali) as well as the ferry terminal to Lombok Island. Some of the best diving and snorkeling areas in Bali are also within the Candidasa area. As Candidasa has become more popular with day-trippers, the demand for accommodations and eatery places has grown to wide selection that ranges from star rated properties to simple homestays. All in all, Candidasa is a great place to go for a few days of relaxation.



The main attraction of Candi Dasa is a dazzling landscape of the beach. Blighted by jetties protruding into the water, intended to slowdown the erosion caused by coral blasting for years.
