I just had my dinner and guess what, I don't know why but my grandma made today's dinner very Indonesian. Lol. All the dishes served on the table were ALL Indonesian food!!

We had Indonesian fried rice (unlike Chinese ones, Indonesian fried rice is cooked with black soya sauce and chilli padi, and hence it is brown in colour and tastes a little sweet [without chilli] and spicy [with chilli]. Lol.)

Then we had soto ayam (not malay mie soto okay, this one is really Indonesian..., eaten with VERY SPICY chilli [warning! VERY SPICY!], plus perkedel kentang, plus boiled egg, plus bihun... cooked with kunyit.. huwaha sorry I don't know the English term for that spice "kunyit")...

Then, we had ikan pange!! Erm... how to explain ikan pange ah? Ok, this.. tengiri fish (okay what is 'tengiri?') is cut out, then cooked with belimbing wuluh... ermm.. what is belimbing wuluh in English?? =.= my mum plants a belimbing wuluh tree in front of our house in Jakarta, lol... never see them in Singapore.. if you want to take a look then come over :P ermm.. then cooked lo.. don't know what other spices and ingredients... but tastes greaaaattt!!!

Last but not least........ we ate the fried rice with kerupuk udang!! Aaaaa.... My mum's friend came to Singapore and brought them over... I love that kerupuk!! (kerupuk is....crackers! Prawn crackers!! Yay!!) But nothing beats kerupuk keriting2 (keriting means curly... so kerupuk keriting means curly crackers... lol anyhow translate ah louisa!!). Yup.. nothing beats kerupuk keriting bought in waroenk (read: warung)!! Huwahaha... Singapore has no warung ah... aiyah... warung is the best man!! Lol. Amazing to think that most warung sell everything under the sun.. from office supplies to food to even gas! Ok, not all warung sell gas though.. only those with "tersedia gas Elpiji" sign sell them.

Now.......... The really really last.......... the dessert........... we had jeruk bali!! Yaaaayyyy!!!! OH man.. Indonesian food is the besttttttt....!!!!

But even though all the were Indonesian dishes, I still did not feel that I'm back home. Why? The environment wasn't supporting ah... My grandma turned the TV on, and it was channel 8!! ~_~
