Between 100,000 and 150,000 people were murdered here during the Nazi occupation. The 'Mirror Field' installation is pierced by one hole for every victim. The music swells around you as you approach the centre.
Let me introduce Babis who is a boxer, had a really terrible week, and a black eye. He is a vegeterian so he can not use a raw steak to treat his eye, so he is -unsuccessfully- experimenting to make a face mask from black-eye peas.
He is made from paper clay, painted and varnished by me and just listed to my etsy shop.
This was my third attempt for babi kecap and I liked it!
(although the photo was terrible again, so this close-up/cut is the best I could do)
First attempt was with a recipe from Beb Vuijk, who wrote the "Indonesion Food Bible for Holland" which you can find in many, many homes in the Netherlands. But she works a lot with powders, like gingerpowder, galangapowder and I don't see the need if today I can buy the fresh ingredients everywhere.
With the second attempt I tried this horrible prefab "Babi Ketjap Mix" from Conimex. I hated the result. It didn't remind me of baby ketcap at all. But I had to try, so I would know what others were talking about.
So today I tried a recipe that made the most sense to me :
Babi kecap
600 gram chopped pork
Season with salt and pepper.
Make a bumbu/paste from:
2 (red) onions
4 cloves of garlic
5 cm ginger, chopped
I like to first stirfry the pork on a high heat, so it gets browned.
Then I gently fry the bumbu/paste and add back the pork.
Then I add:
120 ml ketcap manis (indonisian sweet soysauce)
30 gr gulu djawa (indonesian dark sugar)
Juice of ½ lemon, or just some rice vinegar would do too.
Depending on the kind of meat you use you let is simmer until soft.
I let mine simmer for 2½ hours.

Babi Guling or Suckling Pig is a famous traditional food from Bali, normally they choose a sow to grill it, in this picture they used 45kg size and took 4-6 hours to grill.
They usually use a wood, coconut shell instead of gas, cause it will produce better taste and smell.
The location where I took this picture is different with other places, cause they grill the sow start from 11pm till 4am and the food will sold out at 7-8am.
