Basically, there is no single form of "Indonesian cuisine", but rather, a variety of regional cuisines which are influenced locally by Indonesian culture as well as foreign influences. 

For example, rice that is processed into (steamed) white rice, ketupat or lontong (rice cake steamed using banana leaves or plastic) is the staple food for the majority of the Indonesian population, but for the eastern Indonesia, sago, corn, cassava, and sweet potatoes it is more commonly consumed. 

The general serving format for most Indonesian meals consists of staple foods with side dishes of meat, fish, or vegetables on the side of the plate.

Sumatran cuisine, for example, often displays Middle Eastern and Indian influences, such as the use of curry spices in meat and vegetable dishes, while Javanese cuisine develops from indigenous Indonesian cooking techniques. Cultural elements of Chinese cuisine can be distinguished in several Indonesian dishes. Dishes such as noodles, meatballs, and spring rolls have been absorbed in the art of Indonesian cooking.

the tandoori culture developed and it became a barbecue used for cooking lamb meat in the consistency of Turkish delight.

Tandoori has also become a name given to a dish commonly prepared by cooking lamb meat on a special skewer over a fire.

Did you eat beef/ cow skin before?

Or maybe you didn't know that beef/ cow skin can be so delicious when it is cooked properly.

Some countries like in Asia or Africa are familiar with this beef skin. Just like in Indonesia, mainly on Java island.

We called this beef/ cow skin "kerecek or krecek" in Java.

Krecek or kerecek can be made of cow or beef or buffalo skin. On islands like Bali-which mostly non-Muslim, they make "kerecek" from pig skin.

This "kerecek" is commonly found in Indonesian cuisine. We can find it fresh, clean, and ready-to-cook cow/beef skin in any traditional market.

Some are dried and can be fried as "kerupuk" or crackers.

Cookies are one of the snacks I am never bored making and creating for a new flavor. Every day must be at least a jar full of cookies at our house 🍪

Besides other desserts or other meals, I bake cookies at least once a week. So if you visit my house.. don't worry... you always get cookies to accompany our tea or coffee 🍵
For me, drinking tea without snacks or cakes or pastries doesn't taste very good.
That's why the cookie jar is rarely empty at my house even though it's not Eid 😊
