Dangdut! Dewi Ular
Dewi the Snake. I guess it means that her voice is so sweet it even charms the snakes that co-habit the box she lives in. Well, as you can see, her manager is so mean he keeps his pet snakes in the same box poor Dewi lives in. He only lets her out to perform. Notice [...]
Jakarta Street Food: Nasi Uduk
What a way to start the day. Rather than fussing with special meals such as muesli or cornflakes, Indonesians breakfast on whatever they happen to feel like. And who doesn’t feel like deep fried spicy goodness at all times of the day and night? Even the rice is steamed with coconut milk.
Jakarta Street Food: Bakso
Meatball soup. For reasons I can’t fathom, this simple dish is extremely popular. Especially with girls. Maybe it’s because it seems to be low fat. I rarely eat it though, I don’t like the texture of the meatballs – too rubbery and not meat-like at all.

Jakarta street food: Sate Kambing
This clip ties up nicely with yesterday’s post about the paper-eating goats. The goat meat I’ve tried in Indonesia has always been tough. This is because they only slaughter them when they’re at the end of their useful life. This is why goat is best taken in tiny pieces as in sate kambing (goat sate). [...]
World’s most populous island?: Bungin
It might be an idea to turn the sound off if you want to watch this clip.
The powers that be want to turn this place into some kind of tourist attraction. I guess the island has one big advantage – there’s nothing else for miles around. As you can gather from the map in the [...]
