Soto Mie (Indonesian Soup Noodles)
Soto Mie is a spicy noodle dish which itself is actually noodles added to ‘Soto’, traditional Indonesian soup. Due to the gazillion variations of ‘Soto’ depending on the origin of soup, there are also countless variations of Soto Mie based on the soup. Two of the most popular Sotos in Jakarta are the Soto Mie Bogor (beef tendon/cartilage) and Soto Mie Betawi (beef offal with milk).


Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee)
Indonesia is the fourth largest coffee producer in the world, and it’s no surprise they have some amazing coffee. But one of the weirdest coffee recipe discoveries would have to be Kopi Luwak, or Civet Coffee. Seeds of coffee berries that have been ingested and defecated by the Civet cat is collected and then processed into coffee. Its interesting to wonder what was going through the mind of the first Kopi Luwak discoverer who thought it would be a good idea to brew coffee from Civet cat feces.
Authentic Kopi Luwak is one of the most expensive coffees in the world, with prices reaching US$700 per kilogram due to the tedious process of harvesting. The way the Civet selects good coffee berries for consumption, and the digestion of the coffee berries are said to enhance the flavour of coffee.


Bakso (Meatball)
Bakso is an Indonesian meatball usually made from ground beef paste and tapioca flour. However, bakso can also be made from shrimp, fish or chicken. Bakso is typically served with a beef broth with vermicelli or yellow noodles.
The name Bakso is derived from the Hokkien pronunciation for shredded meat, which is ‘bah-so’, suggesting a Indonesian Chinese origin. Bakso has a firmer and denser texture as compared to other meatballs around the world.

Es Campur (Mixed Ice Dessert)
Campur is a frozen dessert that means ‘mixed ice’. Blocks of ice are shaved finely with a machine onto an assortment of treats like grass jelly, jack fruit, avocado and coconut in a bowl. The ice is then drizzled with colored sugar syrup and condensed milk for a vibrant presentation.
As with many of the desserts in Indonesia, Es Campur is on the sweeter side as well. Some versions even have a scoop of durian flesh topped above the ice.


Gado-Gado (Mix Salad)
Gado-Gado is an Indonesian salad with a rich mix of boiled vegetables such as potato, string beans, corn, bitter gourd, cabbage, spinach along with tofu, tempeh and hard-boiled egg all mixed in peanut sauce. Kerupuk crackers are also sometimes added in. The peanut sauce for Gado-Gado is slightly different from the satay peanut sauce, whereby Gado-Gado sauce has Terasi (dried prawn paste) as one of its common ingredients.




Nasi Padang (Padang-style Rice)
Nasi Padang is basically an array of pre-cooked dishes served with steamed rice, originating from Padang City. The steamed rice is usually also accompanied with gulai Cubadak (jackfruit). Typical dishes served in a padang are Indonesian styled items like Ayam Bakar (grilled chicken), Gulai Ati (cow liver), Udang Balado (chili shrimp) and many more.
There are 2 serving styles in a Padang restaurant- the ‘pesan’ (order) method involved the customer examining the dishes on display and just picking out what he wants; the ‘hidang’ (serve) method will have dishes brought out to the table immediately after guests have been seated in a buffet-style manner for larger banquets.

Sop Kambing (Mutton Soup)
Sop Kambing is a classic broth made of mutton brewed for hours and flavoured with spices such as coriander, fennel, cumin, star anise and cinnamon. Kambing means ‘Goat’ in Indonesian, which can be called mutton as well.
Although mutton is primarily used for this soup, sometimes chicken and beef are added to enrich the broth. The meat is braised in curry powder before it is cooked. The greenish-yellow hue of the broth comes from the spices used while the meat adds a unique sweetness although the gaminess of the mutton is quite prominent. Some joints also add in bone marrow for extra umami flavours. The soup is served hot and topped with coriander leaves and deep fried sliced shallots, accompanied by rice on the side.


Siomay (Steamed Fish Dumpling)
Siomay is a Chinese Indonesian steamed fish dumpling, much like the Chinese Shu Mai 烧卖 which uses mainly pork instead. The Indonesian version also uses other types of seafood like tuna, mackerel and prawn. The Siomay is served whole or cut into bite-sized pieces then topped with peanut sauce, sweet soy sauce and chili.


Bubur Ayam (Chicken Congee)
Bubur Ayam is the Indonesia version of chicken congee, which is very common in Asia. This simple rice congee is served with shredded chicken with condiments such as chopped celery, fried scallion and shallots as well as Tongcay (preserved salted vegetables). Sometimes there’s also cakwe (youtiao 油条) add which further hints of this dish’s Chinese roots.
A popular breakfast dish that can be found in many warungs (small local shops), many travelling push carts also dish it out at residential areas in the morning.
