Indonesian and Malay cuisine

post #1 of 23
Thread Starter 
As I live in the Netherlands. Indonesian food over here is like what curry is in the UK, the most popular ethnic cuisine. As Indonesia was once part of the Dutch colonies you can find alot of them here and along they brought their food.

Basic Indonesian food consists of brown fried rice with several side dishes such as: roast chicken, Satay (roast meat filets on a stick), spicy veggies, fried banana and a hot condiment, for example.

My favourite has to be the 'Nasi Goreng' as can be seen here:



Alongside some chicken and fried egg slices.



These are the delicious fried banana slices, looks strange but it's fingerlickin good.



Indonesian spring roll filled with chicken called Lumpia



Satay with spicy peanut sauce.


If you'd ever notice a Malay/Indonesian restaurant I wouldn't hesistate and step in and check these posted above out. You won't be dissapointed.

At first I read it as "Nazi Goering" The food looks very interesting though, and I have never been to an Indonesian/Malay place before. Any good ones in NYC anyone knows of?

Penang on 127 W. 72nd should be pretty good. I haven't been to the New York location, but have eaten at the Boston and Chicago branches, and it is authentic.

actually, they way you put it is accurate - curry in the UK usually isn't really indian food, and indonesian in the netherlands isn't really indonesian food. tastes good, but it isn't all that authentic, usually.

by the way, I love surinamese food in the netherlands.

You're more likely to encounter that in Argentina.

The UWS Penang has some basic dishes and a more upscale decor. The Penang on Elizabeth has more selection, particularly the things they sell at the counter such as Kaya, Hong Bang and peanut cookies. The Nyonya at Grand St. seems to have a wider seafood menu.

What's the deal with the "affiliated" restaurant Nyona?

The Penang that I frequent is in Boston's Chinatown. You can't go wrong with it.

Im drooling all over my keyboard. I think there was one Malay restaurant in D.C. The name I can't recall. The walls had cartoon drawings of life in the kampong imitating Lat's style. Good food.

I like the Balinese-style Indonesian food (esp. babi kecap and sweet red bean pudding) but I'll eat all of it -- gado gado, curries, rendang whatitsfuck, etc.

The Assam Laksa is very good, at Nyona some of the others, not so.
