CutiePie Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 ( a preview of the original one. ) Here we run through a mouth-watering array of broth-soaked noodles, fiery curries, banana-wrapped fish and vegetable salads with sweet peanut dressing. Most of the recommended restaurants are in Jakarta, a magnet for Indonesians from all over the archipelago, who naturally brought their cuisine with them. 1. Sambal While technically more of a condiment, the chili-based sauce known as sambal is a staple at all Indonesian tables. Dishes are not complete unless they have a hearty dollop of the stuff, a combination of chilies, sharp fermented shrimp paste, tangy lime juice, sugar and salt all pounded up with mortar and pestle. So beloved is sambal, some restaurants have made it their main attraction, with options that include young mango, mushroom and durian. 2. Satay These tasty meat skewers cook up over coals so hot they need fans to waft the smoke away. Whether it’s chicken, goat, mutton or rabbit, the scrappy morsels get marinated in turmeric, barbecued and then bathed in a hearty dose of peanut sauce. Other nations now lay claim to sate, but Indonesians consider it a national dish conceived by street vendors and popularized by Arab traders. Each vendor seeks distinction, but "sate madura" –- served with rice cakes (ketupat) and diced cucumber and onion -– is distinguished by its boat-shaped street carts. 3. Bakso A favorite among students, this savory meatball noodle soup gained international fame when U.S. President Barack Obama remembered it as one of his favorites during a visit to Jakarta last November. It takes on many forms; meatballs –- springy or rubbery, the size of golf balls or bigger -– are made from chicken, beef, pork or some amorphous combination of them all. Sold mostly from pushcarts called kaki lima, bakso comes garnished with fried shallots, boiled egg and wontons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloan Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I love hot and spicy food! I just love the burning sensation in my mouth. I must say... I don't think I ever tried an Indonesian dish.

But it seems that as Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. and Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. point out, the peanut sauce- the same with Thai dishes. They often use peanut sauce. I am allergic to peanut sauce, since well, I'm allergic to peanuts. [but not nuts, because peanut is considered a legume] so I really have to be careful when I go out and eat Asian food. I have to know what oil they use to cook. I actually asked the waitress at a Thai restaurant if they use peanut oil and she said, no simply because there are too many people who are allergic to peanuts. It's strange, considering the epidemic explosion of people in America is allergic to peanuts. Like it's one of the most dangerous allergic food, next to plain gluten food intolerance. But so far, I am not aware of other sauce or oil allergies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreanitzoo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. ah same as me, i love spicy and hot dishes,, that's why i often make sambal (from chili and some garlic and salt) for 'companion' during eat fried chicken *so yummy* Hm as i know, peanut sauce (it called sambal pecel/sambal kacang) is only used for certain dishes in Indonesia, not many dishes used or eat with peanut sauce,, so when you visit Indonesia (i hope someday^^) you don't have to worry about the oil or peanut in any dishes, my dear Anyway there's one of my favorite food from my country, it's famous and a lot of people love it,, it's called soto. There're many various of Soto, for example soto ayam (chicken soto), soto sapi (beef soto), soto sulung (beef, eeg, vegetables,etc), soto betawi, soto kudus, and a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seororo4 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I'm Indonesian indeed Indonesian dishes really good. The most popular foods are from west sumatra (padang) you can find it in padang restaurant nearby. but actually the other foods also great but just be carefull of the spicy dishes. it may too spicy taste. it's happening in Indonesia make a level on their spicy (low, medium, high, very high) just take your necessary.
