Ayam Penyet (Squeeze Chicken)
The precious ”Cobek”

When it comes to the original fare, to keep the taste and provide the missing of home, finding the ingredients' similarity is the solution. But sometimes, it's not working when the tool is not supporting it. In our homeland culture, "cobek" or mortar is the essential tool for grinding the spices. It makes of stones.
As an Indonesia who is always moving, "cobek" is very precious than jewelry. Because of the family members fond of "sambal." We can leave our clothes or other things, but not our cobek when we are moving. Our cobek is our kitchen wherever we are going—the history of the cobek traveling across the continents. East Asia (Semarang, Indonesia), where it comes from, travels to Africa (Kenya), then West Asia (Turkey) and continue to Middle Asia (Pakistan), going to coastal South Asia (Maldives), East Asia (Cambodia), and finally find a place to settle in the USA. The precious cobek is expensive than gold for us. And today, after two weeks, they are craving for Ayam penyet finally, everyone having a big smile and got tummy satisfaction.
