GURILEM (HOT & SPICY STICK CRACKERS)

People in West Java call this crackers (kerupuk) G u r i l e m.

What make this crackers very special for me is the color of ground red chilli.

It's very enticing for hot red chili pepper lovers.

We, who lived in Java island loves to eat kerupuk.

Even my mom who is originally from Sulawesi island, since she lives in Bandung (West Java) she became kerupuk lovers.

At first, back in 1968, she said, why people eat rice with something like cookies (==kerupuk).

But now, she used to it, and often includes kerupuk as condiment to any kind of dishes she made.

Anyway, this yummy gurilem came from Bandung. My friend brought it last month.

My husband and I enjoy it so much. We take our time to eat it...slowly but sure :-)

I think my strength to eat hot and spicy food has decreased. Sometimes too much ground red chili makes my stomach has burn sensation.

Anyway, I feel I'm in Bandung while eating G u r i l e m....
