My Favorite Indonesian Food

oxtail soup with rice

up

Oxtail soup!! 🙂  I know some people hate oxtails, or other weird parts of meat like feet and tongues, but I LOVE THEM.  In Japan you can find many kinds of offal in Yakiniku restaurants and they are my favorite:p

Actually I’d never had chance to eat oxtail soup till I went to Jakarta last year.  When I found “oxtail soup” on the menu board at a food court, I decided to try it without hesitation.  and it was really good!

When I make oxtail soup at home I use pressure cooker, it’s just because that it makes the cooking time much shorter and the meat much tenderer.  You don’t even need to use your teeth to bite the meat, it melts (>v<)

And this fried prawn.  It looks like Tempura but it tastes totally different.  The coating flour is seasoned and and kinda salty.  Goes very well with seafood:)

Ayam Goreng!  This is a famous Indonesian food:)  I like them with wings, eaten with sambal chili (terasi)

bak-mee

Bak Mee:)  This is a egg noodle soup with wantons, chicken, mushroom and spinach.  I always eat with fresh cut chili.

    Oh yeah, Okinawan food is very different from normal Japanese food isn’t it?
    I love them too:) They are healthy and yummy!

    Orion beer… is it Okinawan beer?
    Mimiga is my favorite too:)

    Yes, Okinawa is like Japan’s Hawaii! (Hawaii is America but the food and culture is different)!

    And yes, Orion Beer is Okinawa’s brew! Kirin Beer is my favorite…but after Kirin, I like Orion.

    Okinawa is “My Pace“! (How do you say “My Pace” in English?? 😉 )
    I grew up in Florida…it’s “My Pace” there, too!

    I’ve been to Okinawa 3 times, 2 for diving and 1 for homestay at American family in the base. I couldn’t tour around much then so I want to visit as a tourist next time:)
