Indonesian food is known for good. Indonesia's once fertile land, and farmers can plant a variety of fruits and vegetables. In each village, many chickens ran between the house-larian; coconut trees, banana and papaya grow everywhere. Indonesian people like to cook, but they also frequently eat outside the home, in the stalls or in restaurants. Food varied and delicious sold everywhere.
If you hurry, and want to eat quickly, try the street vendors in the city streets. Typically, the wheels shops are selling just one kind of food, like fried rice, satay, or meatballs. In crowded places there are many street vendors. For example, if you go downtown or to the market, there must be many vendors selling various foods. Moreover, the price is usually cheaper than food in restaurants (but may have to bargain first).
If you do not want to buy food from street vendors, can enter the shop. Shops such as small restaurants, which usually have three or four tables only. Same with street vendors, each shop used to sell only two or three dishes. If you have a little more money, and want to eat in a more luxurious place, could enter the restaurant. In the restaurant there are different kinds of food. There are restaurants that specialize in food from China, of Java, Sumatra and many other regions (including Western food, if you feel homesick).
Indonesian cooking is famous for its spiciness. Indonesian people like to eat lots of chili. (Cabe also called "chilli" in some areas.) There are many kinds of chili - some are small (such as cayenne pepper), a long, red and green. Chillies can be inserted into food during cooking, or added dihidangankan time or be eaten. In restaurants there is always a kind of Indonesian sambal (chili sauce) on the table, and often there is a bowl of chili. Indonesian people like spicy food, especially in Sumatra, Padang cuisine (from West Sumatra), including many dishes such as rendang, a spicy at all. The use of chili (and other spices) not only because it seems; spices make the food last longer, something important, because in very hot weather, the food can rot quickly.
Coconut is also an important ingredient in Indonesian cuisine. Coconut trees can grow in almost all the islands of Indonesia, and local residents have long used it in spicy dishes and also in the cookies. Meat and vegetables are often fried in coconut oil, or boiled in coconut milk. On the island of Java, peanuts are also often used to give a slightly sweet taste, as in the dish gado-gado.
