EATING IN INDONESIA

Indonesia's cuisine is best known for its steamed and fried rice  dishes. Fish, meat and vegetables are common side dishes. Soft white cooked rice is called 'nasi' in Indonesian. Cooked noodles are called 'mee'

Coconut milk and peanuts are used in many dishes such as in the delicious peanut sauce that is commonly served with sate (satay).

Here are my top choices of food to try when in Indonesia.

Nasi Goreng

This one of the most popular Indonesian dishes. It is a fried rice dish and usually served with satay, peanut sauce, prawn crackers and sambal which is a hot and spicy sauce.

Mie Goreng

This is very similar to nasi goring but is made with noodles instead of rice. Mie goreng means 'fried noodles'.

Lapis Singkong

This is a popular layered cake, usually made with tapioca flour and in three multicoloured layers. Coconut shredding is sprinkled on top for decoration.
