When I had my first taste of rawon, I immediately fell in love, and I knew I wanted to learn more about this exquisite and interesting dish.
Along with pieces of beef, one of the most important ingredients in cooking rawon is keluak or kluwak , a nut that I had only previously eaten in a Peranakan dish. Keluak has a taste that reminds of dark chocolate, but more nutty, even with a hint of a rye taste. Beef rawon is served soup with rice, and complemented with baby bean sprouts, a squeeze of lime, and sambal. Originating from the island of Lombok also where ayam Taliwang comes from , plecing kangkung is a vegetable based salad made with water morning glory, which is topped in a spicy chili and shrimp paste sambal.
When I ate plecing kangkung, I immediately loved it because the water morning glory was still fresh and crisp, while the sambal on top was spicy, with a nice balance of shrimpy saltiness from the shrimp paste.
It goes really well with rice and grilled chicken. Daun pepaya, or papaya leaves, are commonly eaten in a number of different ways throughout Indonesia. Papaya trees and their leaves are easy and fast to grow, and the leaves are full of nutrition.
They have a little bit of a bitter taste to them. If you eat Indonesian food at a Padang restaurant, you might see papaya leaves which are either blanched or steamed and served with a simple chili sambal sauce. They tasted bitter and floral, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I grew up for a number of years in Congo with my parents, and one of the dishes we ate nearly everyday was cassava leaves, sometimes cooked with peanuts, and I used to love them.
Cassava leaves are actually toxic if you eat them raw, but they are delicious when cooked, and have a slight leathery texture to them.
Along with an abundance of higher end artisan modern coffee shops throughout Jakarta, there are also some excellent traditional shops kopitiams. One of the places I tried, located in Kelapa Gading, looked pretty ordinary from the outside, but I was impressed with the smooth black chocolatey tasting coffee they served.
For modern style coffee shops in Jakarta, check out the extensive Eats and Treats blog. Gado gado, which is a vegetables and compressed rice salad, made with peanut sauce or cashew nut sauce dressing, is one of the most common Indonesian street foods available. Although technically a salad or mix, gado gado, especially when it contains compressed rice cakes, is actually quite filling and can be eaten as a main dish, or a snack. When you step up to a street food cart that serves gado gado, the vendor will first mix up the peanut sauce on a flat slightly rounded stone mortar.
Once the sauce is ready, a mixture of steamed vegetables like bean sprouts, water morning glory, and long beans, along with tofu, soybean cakes, and sometimes lontong compressed rice cakes. The nut sauce makes the salad rich hearty, while the vegetables contribute a mix of different textures.
Around Jakarta, anytime you see gado gado written on the side of a food cart, you can grab a stool and order, sit and enjoy. Also, gado gado is one of the few vegetarian dishes commonly available. Mie goreng also spelled mee goreng or mi goreng are Indonesian stir fried noodles, usually prepared with yellow noodles.
Although Chinese influenced, mie goreng in Indonesia have a definite Indonesian taste, usually including a good dollop of sambal chili sauce in the mixture.
The yellow noodles are stir fried in a hot wok with plenty of oil, garlic, egg, and a combination of extra ingredients that can include cabbage, tomatoes, kailan, onions, and any choice of meat. Mie goreng is commonly available as an Indonesian street food dish, and is also popularly made with Indomie instant noodles. Where : Many of the same street food stalls that sell nasi goreng fried rice can also make mie goreng.
Mangga Besar Raya No. Another common Indonesian dish based on peanut sauce is ketoprak, a Jakarta originating dish that includes pieces of tofu, and rice vermicelli noodles, all flavored with sweet salty peanut sauce. When I was in Jakarta, one day I went to one of the most well known spots in the city for ketoprak, a small little shop in the neighborhood, that stays busy from the moment they open — and they often have a long line around mealtimes.
After making a batch of their special peanut sauce, they fried some tofu, chopped it on a plate with some bean sprouts, doused it in the peanut sauce, and finished it with a fried egg. Tempe is very nutritious, packed full of protein and fiber. One of the most common ways tempe is cooked is deep fried or pan fried. It can be eaten as a snack, or as a part of a greater meal, and dipped into sambal chili sauce for extra flavor. To me, tempeh often has a slight sour taste, and a starchy texture.
Gorengan refers to street food stalls that serve all kinds of deep fried fritters, some of which are battered, and other not. I especially like fried breadfruit, which is just slices of breadfruit no batter , lightly salted, and deep fried. The recipe for the fishcakes or fish balls not only includes pureed fish, but also tapioca starch to give it a chewy bouncy texture. I loved the bouncy texture and the flavorful sauce they are eaten with.
Soimai is a popular Indonesian food snack that has roots in China, but has been transformed as an Indonesian dish.
Typical vendors that sell siomay have a steamer full of different ingredients including siomay, tofu, and a variety of fishcakes and stuffed items. Siomay can either be made with fish or sometimes shrimp or pork.
The siomay are dished onto a plate, and the Indonesian flavor touch is that they are served with a sweet and savory peanut sauce and some sambal to bump up the heat. When I was hanging out with Hey Theresia , a local Indonesian food blogger, we stopped for a plate of Asinan Betawi, a Jakarta version of asinan.
The vendor chopped up a bunch of pickled and blanched vegetables, then added on a couple of fried noodle crackers, and then doused the snack in a sweet and salty fruity tasting sauce. It was a very interesting mix, including lots of sour and salty flavors. Kerak telor is an old style Betawi Indonesian food, that includes both sticky rice and egg, fried in a pancake or omelette shape and topped with fried shredded coconut and fried shallots. In order to make kerak telor, the vendor takes a handful of soaked sticky rice and places it on the bottom of a charcoal heated wok.
For me, this was one snack that was more fun to watch being made than to eat. Along with eating a fresh durian, there are also many different durian treats, like durian cake, durian ice cream, and the very popular and refreshing es campur durian, durian flavored mixed shave ice.
Some sambals are spicy and salty, others are more sweet, and some sambals are based upon local herbs and spices only available in that specific region. To me, sambal is something I look forward to consuming with every Indonesian meal. What I love so much about Indonesian food are the fresh and vibrant ingredients that go into the cooking — the chilies, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, lemon basil — and the list goes on.
The combinations of these ingredients is what makes Indonesian cuisine so spectacular. Enter your name and e-mail, and click Subscribe! Your email address will not be published.

Wow cool post, thanks for sharing! Facebook, for the past week or so, has been littered with this comment.
It seems to appear out of the blue. I watch this episode on youtube, awesome. Love to see eat Indonesian food. Beef Rendang is one of the very few foods in Indonesia that I would call good; in fact, I liked it.

Pesan means ordering. Nice reviews Mark!! Im really happy to read your blog and watching your youtube channels.. Hi Mark, Just want you to know that I love your blog posts and your videos. Really good articles on Indonesian foods.
If you were to visit Indonesia again someday, you might want to visit the Island of Sulawesi. Keep up the good work, man! Love what you do! Hi Mark, Nice article for Indonesian Food. I have few question regarding this, according to number Jengkol Pedas jengkol chili, djenkol , where you can get it on Bangkok?

Hi Mark. Love your work man. You Have not visited culinary in Cirebon city, might be a visit you at another time. Typical culinary Cirebon many varieties and it is definitely delicious. Empal Gentong. Rice Lengko. Rice Jamblang. Know Gejrot. Hi Mark! Already read your writing above.
So, if you wanna go back here… let me know? But thanks for loving our food. I totally agree with the list. Hi Mark, first of all I would like to say that I am impressed by your experience to try all these Indonesian food. When I look at to your blog, I miss all these food, snacks, and beverages. Indonesian cuisine is unique, exotic, and interesting. For example, avocado in Indonesia becomes dessert Es Campur or Es Teler , however in Australia the country I live in currently avocado is served as appetisers and main dish.
When I mentioned to one of my friends about it, they did not believe me and thought that I was joking. For me, two words represent Indonesian food: delicious and spicy. Even though some of the food are served plain, people sometimes will still ask for Sambal or Cabe Rawit young chilies.
For most Indonesian people, the more spicy, the better. Oh, Indonesian people like to drink Es Teh ice tea with almost every food they eat. Oh how I miss my country food! Well presented, Mark! I love it and hopefully you can share some more interesting story about Indonesian food.
The Bakhmi Rica in Bandung is sooo Gooooddd????????????. You need to try Manadonese Food though, I find it one of the best other than nasi padang, etc. Mark, i love you.. I think i must be so bussy with my daily routine and do not have time to explore the food of my own country hehehe… Your list is amazing and i will try ayam bakar taliwang for sure because… in fact… it is around my office. Where were i this time? Fyi, one of the the food court at my office serving ayam gepuk, fried chicken with schallot sambal.
The special thing about this food is you can order how much chilli to put on your sambal. If you say 5, so the will make sambal with just 5 piece of chilli.
My friend tried with 40 piece of chilli. Try it with fried cabbage, it taste really good and challenging. Thanks for coming to Indonesia???? Hi Eni, great to hear from you, hope you can keep on exploring the food in Indonesia. Ayam Taliway is still one of the best things I ate in Indonesia. Sounds great about the sambal! Hi Mark, thanks for the review.. I am Indonesian, and I live in NY now, Man… your youtube channel and website is killing me, like literally.
I got my mouth watery and I just want to eat all of the food you listed here. Oh God, it is insane how you made me so homesick now!!! Hi Mark, since I saw your video on youtube about Indonesian food , I feel something is missing , because you have not come to Surabaya. I hope that if you come to Indonesia again, please visit Surabaya. I hope that the recommendations I provide very useful for you. Buon Appetito ;P.
Hi Mark Wiens, As a place where hundreds of great ancient civilization lies, there are many tribes and inhabited in Nusantara. For each tribe, they have their own version of spices and the proportion they used uniquely. For me, you should explore from one district to another within Nusantara so that you will have a better understanding of diversity in Nusantara culinary.
Ow, I love Indonesian food! The best kepala ikan soup you can eat at Mak Beng in Sanur, Bali. Very crowded place, but very nice. Their very hot sambal is epic. Keep on going your great blog Mark! This is a fabulous guide to the best dishes of Indonesia. The photos are mouthwateringly superb. The descriptions are informative and helpful. Thanks so much Mark! Hi Mark, Love your blog and street food videos.
If you visit Bali, come to babi guling suckling pig Ibu Oka Ubud. It is so damn good. If you ever come to Indonesia again, I would tell you some indonesian dishes that you have not tried yet a food lover here. Thanks for this great guide, Mark.
Hey Mark! And for Nasi liwet in Jakarta, i recomend you next time try some at ikan bakar cianjur, they have a few restaurant but the most popular is at jalan batu tulis, pecenongan. Hello Mark, have you ever tried garang asem?
Thank you for making such a great guide of Indonesian Food as an Indonesian, i am proud when reading your guide Indonesia has so many various food, but i got to say this 50 food are well known.
Eaten with special sauce made of Vinegar. Come again to Indonesia, there are so many food that you have not try, Mark. I Love your culinary vlog, especially at Indonesia.
I hope i can accompany you sometime when you come again here. Oh, i also love pork and spicy food. Either from the hygiene especially street food or the spiciness. After having lived in Jakarta and travelled in Indonesia for 10 years. I would say there is something for everyone there. I love the smoked fish from Sulawesi coated with chilis. It is impossible to pick anyone thing, but simple fried tempe with Saur asem and ikan asin teri usually always satisfies.
I agree with you Mark, manado food taste amazing. The authentic foods here where I live, taste so sweet and I hate those. Manado foods has extraordinary spiciness and powerfull flavour because the amount of spices that sometimes takes more than a half of the whole dish ingredients. Rintek wuuk RW : a dog meat dish with lemon basil, galangal, ginger, spring onion, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, shallot, garlic, and chilli padi almost all Manadonese dish uses chilli padi an endemic chili from manado, smaller and spicier than cabai rawit.
Paniki: fruit bat cooked with coconut milk and spices. Hi Aryo, this is amazing, thank you for taking the time to share all about Manado food, and some of the other dishes that I need to try.
I would truly love to visit Manado in the future. Hi Adam, thank you very much for your support and encouraging words. We had an amazing time in Indonesia! You should also try Indonesian cuisine that originated from Kalimantan. I wait for you in Kalimantan ….
Hi Rano, thank you very much and appreciate your invitation. As one of Indonesian and a foodie, this list is legit! Thanks Mark….! There are many more to explore in Indonesia.
I really enjoy your videos! Have a nice day and im always waiting for your upcoming videos! Cheers x. Hi Mark, I am an instant fan of you. Soonest I saw one of your Video Blog in Youtube saw it in my friends Facebook wall I was instantly hooked up not just because you are in Jakarta currently. I think you cover Indonesian food in Jakarta with flying colors and I love it, thank you for your deep appreciation and love for our foods. Until when will you be in Jakarta??? I know at the moment is our Islam Holy Month of Ramadhan.
You will realize that we; Indonesian Muslim, will have a feast to celebrate that once a year special Religius occasion and perhaps we will serve foods that might be only prepare and serve only once a year for that special celebration ofcourse after you fast for a Month straight, celebrating with fantastic food is one of the best way to end our holy month. But perhaps the only way you can peek and taste that feast is by getting invitation from any Muslim family who will celebrate it among millions of muslim families throughout Indonesia.
If you are interested please do let me know, I might be able to arrange you and your wife to visit my families Aid ul Fitr feast celebration my family side and my wife side, both of them have their own unique and different food to cook, since me and my wife have different ethnic background, and both are amazing…hahahahaha.
As a half Indonesian, I find it great to see other people enjoying the delicious food of Indonesia! I do have to say though, you should have visited Jogyakarta! The food is not only way cheaper there, but the local dishes made alongside the road are so fresh and mouth watering! What about noodles? Beyond just breakfast, if I was asked what typical Indonesian food is like, I would not be able to explain it. Many of my friends, when asked that question by a foreigner, would immediately talk about what they personally have at home, or what they are familiar with, which I think works against the diversity of our country.
But think about it: Why do we consider nasi goreng to be the national breakfast dish? Or, correct me if I am wrong, could it be the colonial hotels that started romanticising it as a breakfast item? Most people would consider nasi goreng as leftover food, meaning they would consume it for breakfast whenever there was leftover rice sitting in the fridge it has been said that the secret to great fried rice is to use cold-cooked grains. However, if on some evening one was to walk along some of the most popular eating spots in Jakarta, such as on Jalan Sabang, Jalan Hayamwuruk or Kebon Kacang, or any other place near a shopping mall, they would come across food stalls serving cheap and ready-made meals.
Many of these vendors sell fried rice; but bear in mind that the fried rice is not consumed for breakfast, and instead for dinner. This is a good reason to cross out nasi goreng as a typical Indonesian breakfast.
I browsed through the Internet and discovered more choices — dishes that truly reflect the richness of Indonesia.
Breakfast does not have to be rice-based or constitute a Westernised bread-based meal; some eat cassava, yam or sago. I also found that some morning meals come with vegetables, poultry, meat, fish, or peanuts. Nasi jagung nasek empog, nasi ampok, nasi empok is a typical Indonesian food made from corn as its basic ingredient. Corn used in making Nasi Jagung is the dry corn. In the market, shredded dry corn is easy to find because the price is relatively cheap compared to the price of sweet corn or young corn.
Corn rice is the same as white rice, usually eaten with other side dishes. It is usually use as the breakfast menu. Nasi jagung is well-known in Java, especially for the people in Central and East Java.
An example of a city famous for its corn rice is Surabaya and Madura Corn rice is a variety of rice typical for Madurese people. Even so, corn rice is also well-known in rural areas, because villagers also consume rice, because of the high price of rice. This is the menu of the people that live in the big city of Indonesia. For some Indonesians, cooking in the morning before starting the daily activity would spend much time. The quickest way is eating the white bread that is rubbed with chocolate jam.
This menu also used as packed meal to lunch at the work place or school. It is so practice to prepare and easy to make then many people prefer to eat this food as the breakfast meal. This type of Lontong spreads a lot in Indonesia.
The ingredients made in this food are lontong rice cooked in banana leaves and elongated , coconut milk, long beans, fried onions, and side dishes depending on the taste of the skipper. Usually, the side dishes know or chicken. Lontong Sayur is not difficult to find in the capital city, this culinary presence shows that this food indeed characterizes the cultural distinctiveness of each blood that inhabits the area for the first time.
Those are the menu for Indonesian breakfast. Tri Setiya An Indonesian. An amateur content writer. You may also like.
