Hello, I am Mama Miyuki , I am a mother of two sweet and cute daughters. The oldest is three years old and her younger sister is still a baby. An Indonesian living in Sendai, Japan who is very passionate about food and eating out, and this is what this blog is all about..food..food..food. I will focus on Indonesian cuisine and favorite international dishes flourishing in Indonesia.
Knowing where to get the best food available and to be able to serve good food to people was serious business for my parents. It is an important part of entertaining families who are dearest to you, and to keep your business partners happy. Every week we would check out restaurants or order to taste and make a list of their specialties and pricing. This habits stayed with me as I enjoy doing it.
Don’t worry, I never studied hotelier so I will not give you complicated recipes. I call this easy pantsy because it seems so effortless yet it is so tasty. The recipes you will find are recipes from my mom, my mom’s friends, my friends, cook book and internet, of course! In most of the cases, I adjust the ingredients to my taste and try to find the easiest ways to prepare them.
This blog is dedicated to provide adjusted easy Indonesian recipes for those who miss Indonesian cuisine. Moreover, to inspire “You” to open an Indonesian stall, restaurant or catering outside Indonesia. So, join the bandwagon and enjoy an exciting journey with “Mama Miyuki Easy Pantsy”.
Happy cooking…
Love ur profile and the reason behind this blog
Sukses yah makan-makan, masak-masak, & hobi barunya menulis! *hugs*

I took a cooking class in Indonesia and not only was it delish, it was fun to make! Happy to have found you! I lost all of my recipes from the class, so I’m excited to see what you have that was the same AND try new things! There was one recipe we did, the woman just called it “Balinese Sauce” and she used it in a few different dishes….any ideas what that might have been?
Hi Nat! On the Balinese Sauce, I’m quoting from Chef Gusti Sanjaya.Here are several in a glance. I will add recipes in practice for the next editions.

Very nice page! Buka saja resto Indonesia. Disini, di Berlin baru ada resto Nusantara dibuka oleh 3 ibu dari Indonesia. Keren!!! Dan rasanya seperti dari warung2 di Indonesia benar …
Wah, beruntung sekali orang Berlin..
Hello Mama Miyuki,
I like the topic of your blog. It’s great to be sharing the authentic Indonesian recipes. There’s an Indonesian restaurant here in Albany NY, but for us Indonesian the taste is not the same… I think they have modified it too much to accommodate the American taste buds, which I think is too bad because then people will think that’s the authentic Indonesian taste. But then if I were to open an Indonesian restaurant here, maybe I’ll ended up with no customers since the food is too spicy hehe… Blogging is definitely the way to do it! Good for you!!
Hi Crysant, glad that you enjoyed. It happens everywhere. Oh, but a blogger in Germany told me that Nusantara restaurant is really spicy, really original and they are popular. That’s why this blog is for those who seeks the taste that they have tasted. But I also adjusted a lot like decreasing the spicy volume but not the main ingredients. Anyway, enjoy!
hi there, nice blog of you,
great job!

You are most welcome! xx
Mama Miyuki – Thank you for finding my blog and following. I have been looking for a good blog about Indonesian food and I think I have found it!
Hope you will enjoy as I enjoy your blog too..
I did not get confirmation that I am following your blog. I, and some other bloggers, have found that it only works to click on “click to follow” links in the blog page (I don’t know why). I could not find one on your blog.
It’s OK if you don’t want to add one. I’ll just check back from time to time.
I am not sure, but if I open my blog, then the ‘follow’ button pops at the bottom right side of my blog, so not on the upper left of the page. A very small pop out, if you click, there will be two options follow by reader or by email..sometimes it hides, sometimes its there..hope it helps
I just check my notifications inbox: its there “theglobalgarnishgeek and Allison and 96 others followed your blog “Mama Miyuki Easy Pantsy”
Finally figured out the problem. I needed to go into the “reader” page on WordPress and edit the e-mail notifications. Changed it from “never” to “instantly”. It seemed that blogs where I signed up using the black bar button automatically went to “never” setting. Sorry to trouble you.
no worries..I also don’t know much about the technicalities
