Bakso Bodo

Bakso is originated from Indonesia. I called it bakso bodo because it is very easy to make. Bodo(h) direct translation from Malay is "stupid". While in farsi, bodo means "fast". In broken Malay language if something we called "bodo" doesnt simply means stupid but to refer to something that is easy and simple.

So to cope with the cold weather (winter in Malaysia is monsoon season, wet), it is very nice to sip a bowl of hot soup. Then, I decided to make bakso. After chekcing mr. refrigerator, I have all the basic ingredients. Sap sup sap after an hour tada!! My bakso is ready.
