Jagung Bakar
This popular Indonesian street food — grilled corn with a sweet & spicy chili glaze — complete the picnic mood.
Beef Rendang
In a 2011 online poll held by CNN International, rendang was chosen as the number one dish of the ‘World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods’. Rendang is a style of curry-like stew popular in Sumatra and Malaysia, characterized by a long slow cooking in coconut milk such that the sugars caramelize and the liquid largely evaporates, making the sauce relatively dry. The spices used in rendang, lemongrass, garlic, shallot, ginger and galangal, have antimicrobial properties and serve as natural preservatives. A popular but labour-intensive dish, it’s often served on special occasions.
