My Lovely Petruk

I have a male bunny named Petruk. At first I named him Cantik. After I found out that my bunny was male, my father the one who changed his name into Petruk. My father named him Petruk, because he said Petruk's nose is sharp just like wooden puppet's (Wayang) name Petruk.

Petruk has a white and fluffy furs with black spots scattered around his back. He has this black circle around his eyes. He also has a long wide ears in black furs. He has a cute little tail that curl around his back. In his tail there is also one black spot that looks like a beauty mark. He has sharp nose that makes his face looks longer if you look from the side.

Petruk likes to eat vegetables and rabbit food (Pelet) that you can find in some animal sellers. Petruk has a weird habit in eating. He likes to eat fried food or even my snacks such as fried tofu, potato chips, and crackers --much to my dismay. Later on I stopped feeding him my snacks and other fried food because those kind of food makes his furs fall off from his body. 

Petruk is very tame and so fluffy I can't stop hugging him. Even though he is tamed, sometimes he likes to struggle if he doesn't want to be hugged, even scratch my face. He is also loyal. Once I fell asleep in the house porch while petting him on the floor. He then nudged his nose into my cheeks to wake me up. Petruk likes his head being scratch by me, makes me want to pet him for hours if that's necessary. Petruk is the cutest and adorable pet ever. He is like my favorite sweets, marshmallows!

Mayonnaise

         Mayonnaise is one kind of sauce that made from  vegetable oil, egg yolks, and vinegar. Mayonnaise appear in various colors, but usually it is in white cream color or sometimes pale yellow.  Mayonnaise is the right choice for the people who don’t like spicy sauce that made from chili. The taste is little bit sour because of the amount of the vinegar, and some mayonnaise uses lemon juice.

             Mayonnaise very popular in Europe and America. They usually eat it together with sandwich, french fries, and uses mayonnaise for their salad dressing. In Japan, they uses mayonnaise for their daily food like okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and yakisoba. In Indonesia, this kind of sauce still not very common to our taste, because we can just add chili sauce with different kind of spicy level, or uses soy to our food that makes it more delicious. But, if you get tired with the same taste of chili sauce, then mayonnaise is the right alternative sauce that you can try.
