Traditionally Indonesia

Making another batch of sambal matah. But this time I add a bit of chopped coriander into the sambal. I'm running out of kaffir lime leaves so I use grated lime zest instead.

Tape bakar. It is a fermented cassava, mashed, shape into balls then grilled. There is a pretty strong alcohol-y after taste tho..

Steamed rice with vermicelli, fried tofu, bean sprout and cucumber served with peanut sauce and krupuk udang. The sauce are smoother the the usual ketoprak I bought on a street cart, but taste good. A little bit on a sweet side, but I like sweet..

I would like to think this is a peranakan style of the Java style lontong sayur. Steamed rice cake served with opor ayam, sayur lodeh, sambal goreng ati-ampela (chicken liver and gizzard in sambal) #burpple

Frog legs, deep fried and then cook in a sweet soy sauce and margarine base sauce. Taste like home food.

Not your ordinary noodles. This one cooked in a thick shrimp (I think..) gravy topped with bean sprouts (tauge), potatoes, tofu, prawn fritter, hard-boiled egg and prawn crisp (kerupuk udang).

Indonesian rice cake (the one that cooked wrap in banana leaf) with coconut milk soup or known as Sayur Lodeh, tempeh, crispy anchovy and hard-boiled egg.

Again, another tahu pong from different restaurant.

Nasi ayam goreng tulang lunak.. The name say it all, the chicken bone are so soft you can eat it if you want to. If you want some greens, you can ask for plecing kangkung..

Tahu pong sauce. Made from shrimp paste (petis), sweet soy sauce, garlic, palm sugar and water...

So good, we ate this yesterday afternoon.. Located in Arteri Pondok Indah Street.

Deep fried tofu with shrimp paste filling (petis), a traditional Semarang snack.. Eat it with bird's eye chilli (cabe rawit).
