So I am currently back on the island of Java in an old city at the foot of Mt. Merapi volcano called Yogyakarta (Yogya for short). I am living here for a month doing an internship with an NGO that is working and researching a method of Dengue prevention. Keep updated on my blog to see new pictures of the food I eat and things I see :)
 |
"Nasi kotak" aka rice box given to all the staff at the office for lunch last week.
Yellow rice with sliced egg, chicken meatballs, some weird soya sauce sausage which I did
not end up eating, fried chicken strip, and fruit for dessert. |
 |
Es Campur. An Indonesia drink made from coconut milk, palm sugar, grass jelly
and green wormy looking jellies |
 |
I have no idea what this is called but it was really good. It was basically bean sprouts and shredded cabbage mixed
with tofu and a spicy peanut sauce |
 |
| Quail eggs, tempeh, fried cow lung, Indonesian potato fritters, and clam satay. I'll pass thank you. |
 |
| Instead of the body parts pictures above I opted for Soto with rice. Soto is an Indonesian chicken soup. |
 |
| Rujak. Unripe fruit with a spicy peanut and palm sugar dipping sauce. |
 |
| This was gross. Carbonated tea, but it was like apple flavored tea. Yuck. |
 |
| Old ginger and turmeric drink. Tasted like medicine, but apparently it is full of antioxidants. |
 |
| Indonesian fried chicken and duck with a yummy garlic chili sambal |
 |
Oxtail with rice (wrapped in fresh banana leaf), fried tempeh, and Indonesian crackers
|
