Indonesia
In general there are to main kinds of food in Indonesia. The first is simple everyday food for unpretentious locals. The second is beautifully served restaurant food for those with more money. We rarely visit restaurants therefore second type doesn’t suit us. But during half-year travel in Indonesia we learnt a lot about simple local cuisine. The first impression of the food on the largest archipelago wasn’t that good. Sumatran food seemed to be not the best. But later we realized that the quality of food in Indonesia depended on the place we chose. This article highlights the best indonesian food and also we’ll share our ideas about successful choosing places to eat.
Those who hasn’t ever heard the name “coffee luwak” (Ind: kopi luwak) aren’t real fans of coffee. In any coffee-related articles this brand is described as the best, the most sophisticated and also the most expensive sort of coffee in the world. There are numerous legends about this chocolate-vanilla thin flavoured drink which is produced using аn asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) which belongs to Viverridae family. Allegedly civets recognize and eat the best and the ripest coffee berries with a bean inside from the plantation. Following fermentation of beans in their stomach improves the taste and reduces bitterness of coffee brew. We decided to observe how do they produce coffee luwak in Bali and describe this without any fairy tales and legends.
