That said, there have been some moments of confusion. Today at lunch Chris asked for "chuchi" when he really meant "chumi chumi". The waitress looked at him strangely for a few seconds so Chris tried again in English, "do you have squid?". The waitress laughed and said "you just asked for laundry for lunch!"
We were the (good-humored) joke of the restaurant for the rest of the meal. But Chris did get a big bowl of fresh squid curry which was delicious. I took a picture but some how I deleted it off my camera (FAIL)
Indonesia food is simple but delicious.
Nasi Goring Ikan-- Fried Rice with seafood $3
Fresh caught tuna with rice and veggies $4.50
Gado Gado-- Stir fried veggies with tempe and peanut sauce $2
Pineapple and coconut cake $0.70
Honey lemon ginger green drink. It was a ridiculously long name but it was delicious and so refreshing after a long hot walk
My notoriously temperamental tummy has been shockingly quiet here despite unsafe drinking water and a barrage of new foods. My goal is to take a cooking class in every country Chris and I visit. I plan on taking a class in about two weeks in Jogjakarta on Java Island (the same island Jakarta is on).
