Lou, Indonesian food is well spiced, though not only chili as a spice. Turmeric, galanggal, etc. are other portions of the flavor profile. But yes, a lot of good Indonesian food is spicy. Sorry, I am based in Manila, I have no clue what the restaurant choices are in Vancouver…

Your recipes and photos sure look so tempting. The only problem is I don’t usually enjoy very hot and spicy foods. Can I cook those recipes with a lot less spices and yet taste the same authentic Indonesian food? Where can I buy good Indonesian cook book? Do you know any good Indonesian restaurant in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada?

Thanks,

LOU

goodness so glad i came across this thread. The replies here sure bring back lots of good memories when I was back in Jakarta. I always ask my mom who works for a travel agency back there to bring back home sambal sauce and other spices. Try mixing the nasi goreng with pan fried mie goreng. or or or add in cheese or corned beef. Have you guys ever had that variation back in Jkt?

There are a lot kind of nasi goreng in Indonesia. My favourite is the authentic Jakarta style nasi goreng kambing. This is the best nasi goreng I’ve ever tasted. You have to try this at Kebon Sirih Jakarta, if you like lamb dishes.
