Made these today, my first attempt for Burger. It was inspired by the house-burger I had on the first day when I arrived in Riga (Latvia) at a restaurant named 'Bite'. Ever since, I had been wondering how to make that meat patty, and along the way, seeking some advice from my Chef friend Rose. She suggested using bread for the meat. For this recipe, I've used breadcrumbs. It is similar to the Swedish meatballs but this burger tasted really good. Verdict from my husband was 12! (usually the score is 10, but this exceeded the 10, that delicious!) Think the dressing played a great part of the entire burger. A little secret: I used beer of 4.2% alcoholic content. The other elements in the dressing are diced shallots, minced garlic, honey and ketchup. For assembly, I lightly crisped the burger buns, so there are slight charred at its sides, added mayonnaise, lettuce, cocktail tomatoes, the grilled meat patty, sprinkled some gouda cheese shreds, mustard (if you like) and VIOLA! :)

This is known as 'Har Gow' where 'har' means shrimp and 'gow' means dumpling in Cantonese. This item is one of the hot favourites of many people. It is like a piece of food art. The ingredients are wheat starch, shrimp, tapioca starch, pork fat that is cooked, scallions, bamboo shoots, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar as well as seasonings. If you want to watch how it can be done, here's a video posted in a previous post.
Poffertjes are a traditional Dutch batter treat. Resembling small, fluffy pancakes, they are made with yeast and buckwheat flour.
They can also be served with other sweet garnishes, such as stroop (syrup), slagroom (whipped cream) or aardbeien (strawberries), for added flavor.
Poffertjes is also familiar in Indonesian cuisine through its historical ties as the former Dutch colony. Poffertjes is thought to be related to and to have influenced Indonesian kue cubit.
