indonesian food...

|

now, we'll talk about indonesian food.... not indian food but indonesian food....... although, i must say i love indian food too (well, what can you say i looove eating)..... so anyway, i should have blogged about this 3 weeks ago but i keep forgetting to ask my friend what our order was..... so anyway, these are (starting from left, top to bottom)... + es shanghai/es campur (assorted tropical fruits and jelly with milk dressing) + nasi goreng mawut (chicken fried rice mixed with fried noodle, bean sprout and cabbage) + nasi campur (complete rice dish combination of chicken curry, rendang beef, egg, fried thin rice noodle, served with shrimp chips over steamed rice) + pisang goreng (fried bananas) + tahu berontak (uprising tofu with bean sprout, carrot and bamboo shoot) + gado gado (my fave! indonesian salad, cabbage, bean sprouts, tofu, egg, firm rice w/ peanut sauce with flour crackers or shrimp crackers).... try also their satay and ayam goreng kalasan...... some of the indonesian food are spicy (50%).... they use a lot peanut sauce and coconut milk....... and yes, they are good! try it! i had indonesian food again just today for lunch (i was able to try something new but i'll just wait for marie to blog about it ).... two of my pinoy friends plus my friend's roomie from chicago visited me for thanksgiving (they were with me thursday until saturday)..... and my friend and i decided to treat them for lunch because we want them to taste the indonesian cuisine.... btw, i also took them to a jamaican resto yesterday night....... it was just a bummer that we weren't able to get them a philly cheesesteak because the line is always so darn long and they will miss their flight if we still decide to fall in line.... oh well, i'll just bring them some when i visit chicago..... but i hope they enjoyed their visit........ there are still a lot of things that i still want to show them but we didn't have enough time.... there's still the amish town, the valley forge national historic park, the reading terminal , they weren't able to see the bell because the line is soo long.... we can also go to hershey park if we had time..... it would be nice too if i was able to show them atleast one of the many museums in philly.... next time....next time....
