Meatballs

Making meatball is one the things that i cannot do properly. The taste is not the same as the one that they sell in Jakarta, Indonesia. I hope this is just a matter of finding the right recipe (and good motivation to blend the meat, haha).

When i was a kid, i went to a school which canteen sells very good meatball soup (a family runs this canteen). I heard that even our former woman president and her rival in politic (a daughter of an ex Indonesian president) go there every now and then to find the nostalgic of the meatball soup together with their big family who went to the same school (guess which school i went to?). But frankly speaking, I never return to the school ever since i graduated from my junior high school there. Glad to hear that the same family still runs it, and the taste is just the same as they were when we were still attending school there. Cool!

Anyway, the picture is quite sombre... it is very difficult to make food porn if:

1. My meatballs have this messy looking and scream that they were just being soaked in a polluted soup (this is a fish meatball, I used mackerel, i did not use any blender i just used my stupid hands to mince and shape it...dirty job!)
2. The table cloth has a dark blue character (wonder why i bought this colour though i hate it so much).

Result: blah and bof à la français (not happy smile on my face).

Recipe: I am sure you can find zillions of it on the net, this one is one of them, i used it to make these meatballs. Click herefor my old recipe of bakso (indonesian version).
