satay, burning your indulgence to the top!

satay or sate is one of special food in Indonesia..the meat taste, burning smoke, way of burning will indulge every nerves of yours.

It's fun to know if you love eating sate, you certainly found that many variety of sate provided in Indonesia. There are sate Padang, sate Kambing (from goat meat), sate Kelinci (from rabbit meat), sate ayam (from chicken meat), sate domba (from lamb meat), sate sapi (from cow meat), sate babi (from pig meat), sate ikan (from fish).
the most popular one are Sate Kambing (goat), sate ayam (chicken), and sate Padang..they can easily found on the main streets of Jakarta..

Sate are made from slices of meat, they are roughly cutting in thin slices, then it will be sticked to bamboo stick (around 15 cm). the seller then burn it on the burning charcoal..

While sate is half-done, the seller will take it away from the roaster, smear the sauce (peanut sauce + soy sauce) until the sate is greasy enough with the sauce, sluurps! Fun Eating experience is began..
then, sate will be burned again until it is well done. the seller put sate once again into the sauce (peanut butter), put extra soy sauce, stir it together. Done! Sate is ready to be eaten..

As the topping, fried onion will be added on top of it. For extra hot lovers, you can add special satay red chilly on it..Still you have extra appetizer: for more taste, chew slice of green chilly + slice of onion while eating the sate. it will raise unbeatable temptation in eating..

In Indonesia, 1 serving contains 10 sticks of sate, the fun is you can customize it into 15 per serving for extra price. Ooh, for me 10 sticks of sate doesn't make my stomach full, then I ask for extra lontong (steamed rice wrapped with banana leaves) for it. Hmm, Eating is always perfect!

For eating sate ayam and sate kambing, they are familiar to be found at night time..for sate padang can be found at day's time. the seller will go around on streets while yelling "sateeeee" loudly to announce their coming ^_^. it is fun to see the way they yell it.

One kind of fun eating of sate is the aroma..the burnt meat + specific aroma from burning charcoal will float into the environment nearby. I bet You can't resist the tempting aroma..
It doesn't count the fun sound while burning. the flame will produce "tick..tick..tick sound while the seller fan the burning meat on the charcoal. the flame breaks into pieces to the air and produce a view of smoke and flame fragment.

My suggestions: Never miss your cool night without eating 1 serving of sate. The hot burning, the aroma, the taste will melt together to create fun-eating indulgence.

Fried Bean Sprout, It's Funny to Called it Fried but not Fried?

Famous with the name "Toge Goreng", it arises fun questions in mind, since it is not fried as it is named. Toge Goreng is having Bean Sprout as its main ingredient, the seller will put Toge + Oncom (fermented cake made from soybean sediment) + water together then stir it together..After it is boiled, the seller will dry the water from the food, then put it on the plate.

Pour the sauce as topping..the sauce is very tempting look..It is red sauce with the rough slice of tomatoes in it, taste it slowly then you can feel the oncom slice in it..When you eat the sauce, you can feel it is sour, sweet, and hot at the same time..what a fun eating experience!

don't forget to put extra fried onion on it. Add the colorful chips around the plate..
How to eat it? Mix it all together, add some chilly if you need extra hot taste..Sluurps! Toge goreng is ready to be eaten..

The Toge Goreng Seller is familiar to be found in the main road of Jakarta. It is the traditional food but very famous in jakarta. The fun eating passion of consuming toge goreng is the eating experience. We can eat it at wooden long chair at the road side..you can see the road, the car, pedestrians while eating toge goreng..Feel the hot taste, the uniqueness of the food combined with hot climate of Jakarta make it memorable for fun eating experience.

Submarine Pempek..Loading an egg inside for your indulgence..

The Fun Eating experience this time is Pempek which originally come from Palembang..the main ingredients are fish and sago that are mixed together. Then Pempek is fried with hot cooking oil. After Pempek turns yellow goldish, take it out from the pan..

then cut cucumber in dice slice..Give some yellow noodles on top of Pempek. Last step, pour the Cuka on top of it. Cuka is the pempek sauce made of brown sugar, dried shrimps, garlic, salt, and chilly..If you need extra taste, you can ask for more rawit chilly and dried shrimps..Isn't it fun?

My favourite one is Pempek Kapal Selam (submarine Pempek). it is called submarine because it look like the submarine one. It has egg inside it. the combination of eating fried pempek with egg will produce "unbeatable" taste in your mouth..

Another one is Pempek Adaan, it is round shaped, Curly Pempek (because it look curly ^_^ ), Pempek Lenjer (long shaped)
whatever the shape is, all of them are tasty to be eaten and creating fun eating experience mmh!
