secrets with you in ‘Cherry on Top’.



Define yourself…

Easy-going, entertaining and always curious, like to have fun and I
love cooking. Someone mentioned that I like to inspire myself and
people around me – I think that’s true.

Seasoning Vindy means…

TLC baby. That’s the thing we need, right girls?

Vindy as a fish eater…

Love it. Raw or cooked, whatever the way. I like the halibut: poached
in oil with lemon and capers gives a seductively velvety texture.

Spice that tickles you…

Hot chili powder. I like anything spicy – soups, curries and even drinks.

Indonesians love spicy food and I often try to incorporate heat to my diet.



Getting served breakfast in bed…

Yes please. I’m a BIG breakfast eater. In fact if I were to choose any
food to eat all day, I’d choose breakfast. Pancakes, potato hash,
pastry, sausages, fruit salad, orange juice, coffee etc.  Breakfast
served in bed while watching cartoons will be the best.

Chocolate: exquisite or sexquisite?

I’ll be polite and say exquisite but you know I really mean sexquisite.
Most girls love chocolate. To me chocolate is not really a food, it’s
more like a drug. Dark chocolate turns me on – say 70% cocoa.

Orgasmic food you have ever encountered.

Oh my, so many! I’ve to be shameless and say it’s one of the dishes I
made at home – a crazy story too. This was about 8 years ago when I was
still in school. I wanted to make Lemon Chicken inspired by Rao’s
Italian Restaurant in New York. The last step was to broil the chicken
for a couple of minutes, but I got distracted by a telephone
conversation, forgot about the chicken and even took a shower. When I
got out, my whole kitchen was smoking and I immediately took out the
dish, which was ON FIRE. I quickly covered the dish with a lid and the
fire went off. I was lucky that nothing else was ruined.

Luckily the chicken looked fine, just looked like it was barbequed, but
had the most amazing aroma. Out of curiosity, I tried it. Let me tell
you, it was THE BEST accidental chicken I’ve ever had. The fire gave it
an intensely unique smoky flavor through and through, and I think the
lemon peel sparked out essential oils too. I love barbequed food but
this tasted 100 times better. Hmm…  I’m thinking to re-create that
flavor. But first, how to set chicken on fire?

Love fruit that makes you devilish.

Peaches. On the account that I love spraying whipped cream on the body.

Food you would like to be

Honey. It’s a friendly food. Honey is sweet and natural… plus it lasts for a long time!

Vindy’s secret when it comes to the culinary…

My secret is Love. Believe it or not you need to love your food,
respect and understand it – that makes delicious food. The recipes I
have in my cookbook are very simple; I see it as a vehicle to encourage
creativity for the cooks, to make it their own.

Favorite occasion you would love to be in kitchen…

All the time! If I have a new home, I would minus the dining area and
just make one big kitchen where there are islands and people can eat in
it as I cook and entertain. I want to spend as much time in the kitchen
as I can.

Are you afraid you may ruin your skin while you cook?

No. It does happen though, especially when I first started, many cuts,
burns, scalds etc. but these sacrifices are worthy. I throw “Vanity”
out the window whilst in the kitchen. In fact, if it weren’t for
modeling, I won’t care about make-up. I believe the star of the show is
always the food, not the chef. And I love what I do.

Any chef you would like to date?

I’ve never dated chefs or anyone in the food industry. It’s funny
because all we will do is talk about food. I can imagine me and the
chef quarrel often because we both would fight for the kitchen, haha.
