South East Asian Trips

A new sophistication has crept into the food scene in Indonesia. A number of factors have contributed to this, especially the constant influx of international chefs who have demanded better access to quality and fresh ingredients, and the growing opportunities for Indonesians to travel abroad. The increase in local knowledge of international standards and tastes and the growing number of importers and local growers have also influenced the availability of specialist products. Indonesia's growing number of luxury and boutique hotels are still a good place to look for an outstanding meal.

Indonesians like their food highly spiced and the visitor should always bear this in mind. In particular look out for the tiny, fiery hot, red and green peppers often included in salads and vegetable dishes.

Below we have tried to give some insight into eating out in Indonesia. So, after some shopping for presents, relax in beautiful surroundings and taste a variety of dishes from the Indonesia restaurant of your choice. You can also check out the restaurant scene of Bali and Aceh.
