Answer 3

Indonesians like their food with strong kicks, why do you think they like to use chilli on almost everything they eat.

- Nasi Goreng (fried rice)/ Bakmi Goreng (fried noodle) is a very simple popular dish

- Satay is also simple and popular, but you have to find the right peanut sauce to make it right, and sometimes the sauce is the hardest part of it all

Answer 7

Having lived in Indonesia for 3 years, I really learned to love the Indonesian dishes.  Especially chicken satay (bbq chicken with peanut sauce (spicy, but not too much) and bakmi goreng (Indonesian fried noodles) and naci goreng (fried rice).  Also, Indonesian poo yung hi (the fried rice with a fried egg on top) is really yummy for breakfast.
