Enjoying Indonesian Food

Rice is the basis of nearly all Indonesian dishes, and usually is served with fish, chicken, or vegetables. Depending on the region, food can run the gamut from
mild to fiery hot. Two common dishes, nasi goreng and mie goreng (fried rice and fried noodles, similar to their Chinese or Japanese counterparts) can be found everywhere and are an easy introduction to the Indonesian diet. Every town has at least one market, providing the traveler with an incredible range of fruits, vegetables, and snacks (see "Shopping," below).

Warungs, or food stalls, offer the tastiest and cheapest food (US$.50 for a meal), but not necessarily the most sanitary. If you choose to eat from warungs , check to see if locals are eating there. Better yet, ask your students where they go. Because of the lack of refrigeration in most areas, dairy products are rare. Indonesians drink hot coffee and tea, but bottled soft drinks such as Fanta and Pepsi are readily available. Most dishes are eaten with the hands; be sure to use the right hand to eat. (Indonesians use the left hand later in the digestive process. Never offer your left hand to anyone, as it is considered very rude.) Bottled water is a must and is widely available.
