Wow this place is so different from back home, especially the food! For example…steamed or boiled rice. Accompanying dishes include various preparations of chicken, duck, beef, (in Bali also pork), goat, all kinds of seafood and vegetables, either steamed, boiled, braised, stir or deep fried, roasted or grilled over coconut husks. Other ingredients used to give Indonesian food its unique flavors are chillies, coconut, peanuts, garlic, ginger, saffron, basil, cardamon, lemon grass, lime, nutmeg, pepper, shallots, soy sauce, tamarind, turmeric and several kinds of shrimp paste. (They weren't called the Spice Islands for nothing, you know.) The result is usually very tasty but not unbearably hot - as long as you avoid the small green chillies and different kinds of 'Sambal' which are often served together with your meal! all the food looks so good we can't decide! Well I think I'll just have the fried rice! Well one thing is for sure I'm gonna be full when we get back to Nick's Home Stay hostel!
