a global favourite and the national dish of Indonesia, one can enjoy authentic Nasi Goreng, a fried rice preparation with eggs, meat, and veggies, both in swanky restaurants and at street side shops in the country. their love for rice extends to dishes like Nasi Uduk, which is rice cooked with coconut milk. they also enjoy other rice preparations like Nasi Kuning (rice cooked with coconut milk and turmeric), Nasi Bakar (steamed rice seasoned with spices and wrapped in a banana leaf), and Nasi Ulam (steamed rice with herbs).

If rice is a staple for the mains, sambal is in the condiments. It is a hot sauce prepared with chilli peppers and shrimp paste. If you’re eating out at an Indonesian restaurant, your meal will be served with at least six different types of sambal. Lest you think, the cuisine is only for spice lovers, we suggest you bite into es Pisang Ijo, a banana-based dessert that is served in a wrapper made of sticky green rice with a pink sauce.
