I have to apologize in advance here; I did not take many pictures of the food I had while in Indonesia.
The main meat seems to be chicken, so I was a winner there because it's my favorite. We were also served fried fish; come to think of it, much of the food I ate was fried. I believe the staple food is rice, and it was nice to eat something different from Japanese rice. Indonesia uses long grain rice, and I saw many different kinds just visiting the local convenience store. There are many spices used. I wasn't able to identify any beyond the various chile peppers that gave many of the dishes some heat. Some of the food was served spiced with just salt and black pepper; you could add any of the sauces that were brought out or were already on the table.
Fried natto left, fried tofu right. Those are not your father's chiles on top. Beware!
A kind of kamaboko (fish paste) roasted in banana leaves, served with a sweet peanut sauce
Opened up, yummy! Beware the staples holding the leaves on...
Shaved coconut meat served in fruit juice; very refreshing!
Lunch buffet: rice, a nice spicy sour soup, fish, chicken, fried natto, sembei, lettuce
One of the two student canteens I saw at the National University
The smells coming from the student canteen were amazing. There were chiles and garlic wafting through the air. Lucky students...
Even the Starbucks served up some hot sauce with the quiche I ate.
Clubhouse sandwich
Nachos and a chicken quesadilla
We did manage to squeeze a few Western meals in. Besides the food and drink at the Starbucks in one of the nearby shopping malls (there were three Starbucks in two malls), I ate a great clubhouse sandwich and some tasty nachos at the hotel restaurant. The cheese on the nachos could both have been a bit more plentiful and melted, but they hit the spot.
