FOODS OF BALI

FOTO ESSAY #1:  FOOD:

 As many of you know, I am not a cook.  I apologize much for the generic labels of this variety of Indonesian food. To me, the aesthetics of preparation are the most amazing feature of Indonesian cooking. But on top of that — every one of these dishes was delicious.  Lemon grass, ginger, coconut milk and oil are essential ingredients. And it never ceases to amaze me what combinations of foods they come up with and the number of dishes they can make out of single banana.

Enjoy this feast for the eye.

P.S.  I have not yet eaten at fancy places yet. There, the food is much, much more interesting, elaborate, colorful, pleasantly presented, etc.  Maybe soon...
