One of the greatest delights is to get a corn cob or jagung that is toasted over hot coals, put on some salt and coarse pepper, and then make a pig out of yourself devouring it.
One of the first dishes I ever tried when I first started travelling around Indonesia was Gado-Gado. At that time I was a Steak and Chips man and the mere thought of a plate of veggies smothered in a tangy peanut sauce was definitely not appealing.
We walk past them on the streets in Bali and other coastal cities in Indonesia, we even walk past them on the beaches and we enjoy eating the fruit. I'm talking about coconut palms.
Candika my wife was the first to introduce me to the magic drink (as she calls it) Apokat. For years, she had ordered it in restorans and warungs, and even though she enticed me to 'take a sip', I declined. How foolish I was back then to decline!.
Ika and I recently discovered an inexpensive place to eat in Legian, called Warung Yogya. Actually it was Ika’s sister Ningrum, the price shopper, who turned us on to it. Warung Yogya is located on Jl. Padma, across from one of those busy DVD stores.
Go into any restaurant or warung in Indonesia, pick up the menu and you are guaranteed to see Bubur on the list. I love Bubur Ayam or chicken porridge.
When I was first started going out with Candika I was introduced to this delightful dish at a roadside stall in Yogyakarta. Being rather partial to Bacon & Eggs followed by fruit and a nice cup of black tea for brekkie, the mere though of porridge for breakfast and especially with chicken, repulsed me. But, being adventurous as I am, I tried it and have been eating it ever since.
Bubur is cooked …

f you have ever read an Indonesian newspaper or watched Indonesian TV, then at some time you will no doubt have heard of the complaints from the Indonesian people regarding the rise in Sembako.
That renowned lady of merriment and endowment, Pamela Anderson, as a staunch animal lover has decided to take on KFC in a big way but, in Indonesia.
Pretty rushed as usual. Its Friday night here in Seminyak and I’m supposed to meet Greg from Florida at Peanuts sometime later.
