Your Favorite Indonesian Food
Mine would be Pecel sayur or the Javanese steamed vegetables with peanut sauce dressing poured all over it. Note ; its not Gado-Gado.
I love eating it with steamed white rice :-)

Food聽 - Nasi gila
Description - A white rice with a chicken sauce, reputably used by NASA as a rocket fuel.
Warning - This dish isn't for wimps or anyone with a heart condition (unless you're suicidal).
Personal note - It's fantastic.
While babi guling can be found all over Bali, the Gianyar Regency is considered the best area to find outrageously succulent and mouth watering babi guling. I聮m told that is because of the particular foods that the pigs are fed while being raised, the bumbu recipe that the piggy is stuffed with, and the mix of woods that the pig is slowly roasted over.
As kobe beef is to the Hyogo Prefecture of Japan, Gianyar babi guling is to Bali.
In Ubud the best and most popular place to find it is at the original Ibu Oka just off of Jalan Raya.
That keeps me happy
Creamy peanut sauce with kecap manis, side by side with big chunks of lontong!
*drooling*
lukereg wrote:The local pandang restaurant, no real name but 40 metres away ish, where I am known as Papi! Beef Rendang, rice with fried tempe and perkadel with es Jeruk or kelapa mudah (is that spelt right?).
That keeps me happy
You know what I love most from Padang restaurant? the green sambal with steamed casava leaves!
To correct your spelling ; perkedel and kelapa muda. But you're doing a gd job Luke! Haha. Btw, why Papi? Because you just became one? 
@mas fred , I still have to go to try the sambal myself. Lol
@Roy, nasi babi guling is indeed yummy,but I havent tried Ibu Oka!
@Sherly, you love satay Ayam , I love sate Kambing with sambal kecap!! I just love it spicy!

I had a lot of that from my last trip in Purwokerto! Haha. Its heavenly especially when its hot out of the wok! And yes its not complete without the killer chilis! 
nunuk wrote:I love 'Ayam Taliwang' and 'sambal Matah' from Lombok,its not just the chicken with special spices tht I love but I love much the sambal with fresh onion,聽 chilli聽 and a lime.. This food is one of exotic food from Indonesia you can find in some restaurant in Jakarta.. And you must try..
I have my own version of Sambal Matah, I sauted the ingredients for a short time since I dont really like that raw aroma from the shallots. Lol. I also chopped a lot of lemongrass to mix it with. Its pretty essential!
Ibet you like Plecing kangkung aswell? Haha
nunuk wrote:I guess your version made tht sambal more exotic Annie.. Lol, yeah I love tht plecing kangkung also..but my version is more spicy:)
I have an idea, lets have a cooking party when Im back! 
the best I've had was in Harum Manis, but there are so many tasty versions out there and lots of great restaurants that are cheaperSamhand wrote:I'm still in love with beef Rendeng

I guess I should try the Rendang from HM then :-)
Though just for info, there is this Padang restaurant thats been around for..ever. Since 1967 to be exact. Very well-known and the price is slightly higher than other places.
I wrote a bit about it here
I go there quite often when Im in town.

I'll go check it out!
My recommendation would be the soto sapi (small portion but heavenly) but you have to ask for it, then try the crunchy fried chicken with sambal hijau and the steamed casava leaves, beef rendang and the jackfruit curry.
Let me know how you like it :-)

I prefer Petai then Jengkol! Especially eaten with sambal terasi and steaming hot rice and ikan asin. Haha. Now I sound like a good Indonesian!

i dont really like petai, but i believe sambel terasi,steaming hot rice and ikan asin will be very very very tasty..hihihii..
you should try sambel jelantah,,chili,union and a lil bit hot oil , eat that only with steaming hot rice and kerupuk,,taste like heaven. 
Many branches around.
They serve various types of sambal but other foods are all side dishes.
Excellent food.

I've been to the BSD branch a couple of times now.
It's small but the food is just as fantastic.
I love SS.
OMG - I sound like an advert now and I have nothing to do with the place other than being a very satisfied customer.
Mmmmmmm, sambal bullshit. Quite wonderful.
