It’s time for Indonesian dessert! This furry looking dessert is Klepon. It’s a boiled rice cake stuffed with melted sugar, and rolled in grated coconut. It’s bright green color comes from a natural plant extract called Pandan, which is used in many Indonesian dishes.

Sekarang waktunya untuk makanan pencuci mulut! Hidangan yang tampak berbulu ini adalah Klepon. Kue terbuat dari nasi ini diisi dengan gula Jawa dan di taburi parut kelapa. Warna hijau terang ini berasalh dari ekstrak tumbuhan alami yang disebut Pandan, yang digunakan dalam banyak masakan Indonesia.
Next on the Indonesian food adventure is Siomay Bandung, one of the delicious dishes that I miss the most. Steamed and fried dumplings of fish and steamed vegetables, tofu, and potato served in spicy peanut sauce and drizzled in sweet soya sauce.

Selanjutnya pada petualangan makanan Indonesia ini adalah Siomay Bandung, salah satu hidangan lezat yang aku paling kangen. Pangsit ikan dan sayuran rebus dan goreng, termasuk tahu dan kentang disajikan dengan saus kacang pedas dan kecap manis.
To start this week of Indonesian food posts, feast your eyes on Es Campur (literally translated as mixed ice). This sweet, refreshing dessert is shaved ice covered with fruity syrup, condensed milk, and coconut. Perfect for the Indonesia’s hot weather or after a spicy Indonesian dish.

Untuk memulai posting makanan Indonesia selama satu minggu ini, alihkan mata Anda kepada Es Campur. Hidangan penutup yang manis dan menyegarkan ini merupakan es serut dengan sirup buah, susu kental, dan kelapa muda. Sangat cocok untuk dinikmati dengan cuaca panas Indonesia atau setelah makanan yang pedas.

At the top of my list of Indonesian destinations is Raja Ampat. Its alluring, breathtaking landscape and its magical underwater world is bound to make you say…”this is paradise”.

I have just recently stumbled upon your page, and I must say that as a fellow Indonesian I am quite impressed with what you've done with it! As I am currently studying stateside, your pictures and anecdotes of our home truly describe what it means to have Indonesian pride. Fantastic work. PS, dying to go back to Batu Karas in June for a solid surf!
Thank you so much for your encouragement :) it makes me so happy that I can contribute to Indonesia in a positive way. I’m currently stateside as well, I’m looking forward to going back to Indonesia and exploring more cities for the blog. Definitely will try to check out Batu Karas!
Cheers,
