If there's something that i really liked, and gives me a heart-melted experiences, is no other than a gift from a special person; school/college friends, family friends, relatives, events promotion, and even from some good strangers. And it's not about the material value, it's about how deep the meanings from it. Some people that i knew, value the gift based how luxury/chic/expensive they're, well...that's the basic ego human being i supposed. For me, no matter how the gift looks/value it's all valuable in thoughts.
As a gift from unforgettable people #1 right now, i just want to shared the emotional value. It's from our big family, my Mom-side, considering as one of my Aunts, from East Java. She is a incredible woman, had been a single fighter for now after several bad marriages, and she's never ashamed about that. She's really honest, and knows how to give it up. Some people don't know how to stop, so the mistakes always comes around like crazy wheels, but my Aunt knows, and she's happy now. I hope all the best for her, she's just a one hot/cool Auntie.
She give a special cake for us, the dutch-colonial-legacy, "Onbyekoek" (well...this is a indonesian-ized name as i don't know the real-dutch name is). Onbyekoek tasted like your typical ginger cake, minus the gingery heat, because instead of ginger, they used "Spekoek", the indonesian ground-spice-mix consists of; cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and cardamom, usually made for making layer cake, and Onbyekoek. It tasted lovely with company of latte or tea. And...don't forget to layered with butter, the tasted will improved.

The Onbyekoek came from "Anugerah" (spelled "Grace"), a traditional-home-made Onbyekoek maker from Malang, East Java. It has retro feeling in the package, and funny enough, it just look like this; LEGACY, LEGACY, LEGACY!
