Food for Thought

Jakarta is known for food, and I am enjoying exploring the cuisines of Indonesia and beyond through my daily food adventures. This week has included everything from chinese food, street food, chocolate waffle with ice cream, pesto pasta, strawberry cheesecake, and DINO NUGGETS!



I walked to the grocery store down the street to buy some breakfast options (the only meal I eat at my Kost). I figured I should look for some healthier options than my usual breakfast of chocolate biscuits and an orange. As I was meandering the aisles of this new grocery store I stumbled across dino nuggets. I immediately had flash backs to cooking dinner for 50 volunteers in New Orleans, buying bulk packages of dino nuggets and industrial size cans of corn -- the less glamorous side to my job in New Orleans than reality tv cameos. 

I passed on the dino nuggets, and continued my search for breakfast food. I guess it is true that you can really find anything in Jakarta. Here are some pictures from other food adventures this week:

Pesto pasta and tropical martini.

Happy eating where ever you may find yourself this summer!
