1. Many Types Of Satay!
Of many kinds of Indonesian satay, Satay Lilit is one of Indonesian unique and delicious culinary. Because it is presented without seasonings, like other types of satay in Indonesia.
One of my favorite meals in indonesia named satay is relatively easy to cook. Just roast the satay over hot coals, and served with some special sauce. While chicken, beef and goat are common meat for main satay ingredient. In addition, there was a wide range of satay variations, from one called Sate Madura (Madura Typical), Sate Padang (Padang Typical satay, the sauce are little bit salty flavoured) and some are called Sate Lilit (Satay which is made of fish, usually found in Bali). Most of satay is served using peanut sauce mixed with soy sauce, except Sate Padang which is served with little bit salty sauce, and even one named Satay Lilit which is presented without any sauce. Sate Lilit is generally served with sambal called “sambal matah”. Hemm, sounds delicious right?
2. The Round Meatball
Grilled meatball, one of kind delicious culinary in Indonesia, which is unusual, but really addictive! But be aware! It is really spicy!
If I were president, then i would probably make the meatballs into Indonesian National food! Well… forget it, I would just get protested because of this Meatball. Meatballs is very popular food in every corner of Indonesia. Not only Meatballs are quick to served, Meatball also delicious cuisine, especially if it is eaten while still hot.

For me, Soto Betawi is the most delicious one!
Well, this one is another tasty Indonesian cuisine you must try! The name is Soto, which main ingredient is white rice mixed with vegetables and meat broth. Meat used for soup ingredients alone there are many kind, but the most common and popular are chicken and beef. Just like meatballs, this tasty Indonesian cuisine called Soto is also well known in many parts of Indonesia. Different with meatballs who have the same name around indonesia, which always called bakso. Soto usualy named by the region. Ranging from Soto Lamongan, Soto Betawi, Coto Makassar and many more. And Maybe I haven’t mentioned every Soto name, considering Indonesia has thousands of cities and counties. There is many ways to eat this soto, some people eating Soto without any mixture, some are eat Soto just like me. And I prefer to eat Soto with a little mixture of soy sauce. Plus lots of sambal, that going to make the Soto super spicy. Come to indonesia, and try it :)
