Those of us who have lived in or visited SE Asia will speak of the sights, the sounds and revel in the ancient cultures, at once mysterious yet oddly familiar. But talk of SE Asia inevitably comes round to the food, and this little blurb is no different. Indonesian food, so savory and rich, is as amazing and varied as the country itself. One of my favorite things is Indonesian stir-fried rice, or Nasi Goreng. Although I am not a huge fan of spicy foods, I find the aromatic mix of spices and soy to more than balance the chili, and I have been known to wolf down great quantities whilst keeping a flagon of water nearby. I am not sure how much a flagon is, but I hope it translates to multiple gallons in the irrational English system of measurement.
Try the Nasi Goreng on your next visit to the ol’ kampung (village). Guaranteed to please.
