I preferred having Indonesian foods rather than western foods. That is another thing that I missed about home the foods. After eating dorm foods for so many years, suddenly I was home and tasting real foods. When I got home, I felt I hadn t tasted real foods for a long time. However, for the first couple of weeks, I had to be very careful with foods that I consumed because my stomach was not adjusted to Indonesian foods anymore.
Indonesian foods are so much different than American foods.
Indonesian cuisine is known for its combination of contrasting flavors and textures. Since Indonesia consists of 27 provinces, each province has its own cuisine, which varies in the method of cooking and the ingredients used. The most important part of the dishes is rice. The rice is different than Minute Rice in America. Tea is the common beverage served at food stalls or in restaurants.
