Kind of Rice in Indonesia Hello all, Quite long time didn't post any new entry here ^^. I will comeback to my college next week. For somedays ago, I was busy at office and also have another things to do so I can't compose any entry sooner. For this time,I will talk about food again ^^. Hope you willn't feel bored with my topic. I choose to talk about food because if I were you and I have a chance to Indonesia, I will do culinary tour because there's a lot of food that you must try when visit Indonesia. Rice is one of the main food (besides corn and sagoo) for Indonesia people. I live in the west part of Indonesia, so I usualy eat rice. There are some processed rice, like : 1. Nasi Uduk / Nasi Gemuk (Uduk Rice / Fat Rice) Nasi uduk usually eat as a breakfast menu. I usually call nasi uduk as nasi gemuk. Nasi uduk is made from rice (beras) mixed with coconut milk and another spicies like ginger, and etc. You can eat nasi uduk with side dishes like fried chicken, cucumber, egg, tahu, tempe and etc. 2. Nasi Kuning (Yellow Rice) Nasi kuning is almost same with nasi uduk.Turmeric add on the mixture as the yellow colour of rice. Nasi kuning is usually made as "tumpeng" in some celebration. You also can eat nasi kuning with side dishes. There are another kind of rice like nasi liwet, nasi kapau, nasi bogana, nasi ulam, nasi langi, nasi krawu, and etc. So far I just ever eat both above because those are the common one. Enn, for the end, let me tell you the different between "beras" and "nasi". In google, it have a same meaning (rice). Beras still raw, uncooked, so you can't eat it. Nasi is the cooked "beras". Could you all understand it? Just leave a comment if you have any question or etc. Thanks ^^ On picture : Nasi Kuning

Chinese Cuisine In Indonesia Hello, I coming with an entry about food (again. hahaha :D). Hope you don't feel bored and can enjoy it. Waiting for you response. Thanks ^^ The presence of Chinese descent in Indonesia caused there are chinese cuisine in Indonesia. Some of the cuisine is have been adapted, fusion with Indonesia taste. There are some foods or drinks from China which ever or often I eat. ^_^ 1.Kwetiau (Guo tiao 粿條 or 沙河粉 sha he fen) Kwetiau is a kind of white noodles which made from rice.Kwetiau can be fried (called Kwetiau Goreng) or cooked with sauce (thick sauce; called Kwetiau Siram). I prefer to eat kwetiau siram because it’s tasty and wet because of the sauce. Kwetiau can be serve with some kind of meat like cow, pig, and etc. There’s also vegetarian kwetiau. I often buy vegetarian kwetiau on vegetarian day ^-^. 2.Siomay (燒麥 shaomai) Siomay is a kind of dimsum. Skin dumpling of siomay is same like skin dumpling of “pangsit”. In here, siomay usually contain mackerel fish, shrimp, chicken, crab, and etc. There’s also siomay which not wrapped with skin dumpling. The meat is mix with sago or tapioca flour so it’s seems like pempek :D. This kind of siomay is deserve with peanut sauce with sweet soy sauce,tomato sauce or chili sauce, depend on the person’s taste. 3.Kembang Tahu/Tahua (豆花 dou hua) Here, kembang tahu usually serve with ginger water. You can add ice if you want the cold one. I like eat kembang tahu with ice because it will be so fresh. The weather here is hot ><. On picture : Siomay without skin dumpling with peanut sauce and other ingredients ^^. It usually call siomay Bandung. I often eat this kind of siomay. :D
