In my kitchen!

I bought some cheap kabocha pumpkins for less than $1 each! So I have turned them into plenty of delicious food. Growing up, I had associated pumpkins with something sweet, like Indonesian kolak or candil porridge. Ever since I met my Japanese best friend, she opened my horizon. I have been making savory dishes with kabocha and other pumpkins ever since. This is one of my experiments in the kitchen. I am thankful because I can still have fun in the kitchen!
