Rich foods of Indonesia
Classic Indonesian Nasi Goreng.
This is one of my favourite cuisines. Although Indonesian cuisine has its own merits, it is usually combined with Malaysian and Thai under one umbrella. In a way they do share similarities in cooking methods and common ingredients. The wok remains the main cooking medium and preffered method. Other common ingredients include coconut milk, although not used in deep northern territories of Thailand, lemongrass, keffir lime leaves, chili, garlic, ginger or galangal. For the untrained toungue, it might all taste from the same place.

Haha ! Salty, ok I never use recipes, but once I taste something I know how to cook it, unless the cooking method is something new. Yo must learn a few basics. If you have a good understanding of the cuisine's most common ingredients and cooking methods, you will amost be able to emulate a certain dish. Out of experience, my bias towards certain ingredients give the dishes I try to emulate a certain kick. Overall I love intense flavors in every dish I cook. Unlike a pan-fried steak with sauteed vegetables, I feel insulted when I get served something as bland as that !
Did someone say COCONUT MILK?????
I smell Coconut everything..
Well no one can manipulate an ingredient into so many dishes such as Chef Equalizer!
I vouch..
Well I might manipulate dishes, but no one can do a dish as exquisite and upscale like Mama Fusla :p

*Curtosy of BBC food!
Mama this sounds dilicioso!! but I do not recommend telling people that the source of creativity is actually BBC Food :p
hehe, but I put the menu together, isn't that part of the creativity?
Kuwaitigirl, Blue Elephent u mean?
Most of the ingredients used in blue Elephent aren't fresh, the curries are acceptable and some are quite nice but anything else is unedable..
Kuwaitigirl yeah I agree with Mama. But if you are looking for something very good but not excellent, head off to Bangkok Garden near Muthana complex. The.decor is OK, but it gives you a nice down to earth feel :)
It feels like a run down youth hostel in Down town Jakarta that is secretly H.Q. for group of rebels that plan to overthrow the government using financial gains of their Ecstacy lab.
That's my opinion of Bangkok Garden! but yeah, the food is authentic and decent.
LOOL yeah I never thought of it this way, now that I'm remembering the private room, it does look like rebels meeting room planning to overthrow the government or simply having "nasty" fun ;p
Salty coconuts are always a love or hate thing for some reason. No middle grounds. As for my blog influencing your behavior, I think I might drop the food subject and talk about other things instead ;-) LOL
Salty are you suggesting I start a new blog? ;p
Well I have subjects wide and varied. I need a blog with a real content, not just scattered thoughts. Something that can stimulate thinking on a collective level. I dont know yet.
