Ah, I am documenting my travel and also what I ate there.
Batagor, a famous Bandung dish for breakfast with a cup of Indo Cafe pre-mix coffee. Bandungites are majority Sundanese people. Batagor is sort of like Bandung's best known dish. It's basically fishcakes, tofu and other ingredients soaked in peanut sauce and kecap manis.
The humble pre-mix 3 in 1 coffee taste surprisingly good and strong.
A bowl of porridge, commonly eaten for breakfast by Bandungites.
A Soto restaurant along the highway from Bandung to Jakarta.
The menu.
The Soto served with rice, cucumbers and lime. It's pretty ok, but perhaps I didn't chose a more crowded restaurant.
.Pempek, a fish cake dish with chilli sauce and kecap manis. Yum!
Bihun Bakso. Rice vermicelli with Bakso.
Best known streetfood in Indonesia, the Bakso.
Sampling the dried noodle bakso
Dry version. Udon noodle with Bakso known as Bakso Kutil.
A more fancy dish called Karedok in restaurant.
I enjoyed eating Indonesia Streetfood.
There seems to be a lot of Chinese influence as observed by Mark Wiens in his blog too.
The name siomay, bihun and tauhu are hokkien words which was adopted by Indonesians.
But definitely some similarity with Malaysian dishes too which creates controversy between Malaysia and Indonesia. Indonesians always have a bone to pick with Malaysians regarding claims of national food.
But it's unique to Indonesia is the extra servings of kerupuk, peanut sauce and kecap manis which is absent in Malaysian food.
