Indonesian Food

So damn good. #pisang #goreng #madu #bunanik #nanik #tanjungduren #jakarta #snack #indonesia #food

The Hainanese may have invented chicken rice but this is the more devilishly decadent version. Deep fried till the skin is super crispy, the chicken or "ayam" that this Muslim stall serves has obviously been spending lots of time wallowing in the most aromatic spices. Because let me assure you, the fragrance of those spices are so deeply-infused, it permeates every bite. Strangely, the chilli sauce lacks kick but with chicken so good, you don't really care. Plus it only costs $4!

Sliced beef in fried rice isn't something that crosses my mind automatically but it turned out to be satisfying when I tried the dish at Dahlia's Cafe. Initially, I was surprised to learn that it's non-spicy. Since I wanted a bit of kick, I asked for a saucer of their "sambal belachan". A smart move if I may say so myself, because mixing that into the fried rice added a nice boost to the overall flavour. Love how the pickled green chilli threw in a fruity spicy bite too.

Can never go wrong with good and comforting Indonesian food~ #indonesianfoodagainandagain
