Gado Gado
An addictive Indonesian salad; deceptively simply, infinitely variable, always delicious. A mix of blanched vegetables like Siamese pumpkin, sweet corn, potato, long bean, cucumber, and tofu, dressed in a complex and spicy peanut sauce.
Beef Rendang
In a 2011 online poll held by CNN International, beef 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, almost like a confit. The spices used in rendang, lemongrass, garlic, chili, shallot, ginger and galangal, also have antimicrobial properties and serve as natural preservatives. A popular but labour-intensive dish, it’s often reserved for special occasions. Served with jasmine rice, jackfruit curry, mixed vegetable stir fry.
Also available #vegetarian, with a tempeh & potato rending.
