Lunch at Bon Ami (16/12)

Yes, I'm back in Surabaya until year-end. Touched down earlier in the day and had my lunch at Bon Ami. They sell a range of food (mainly Western and Indonesian). I usually go for their beef Cordon Bleu, but felt like having Nasi Pincuk today. Pics as listed below.

Nasi Pincuk

Nasi Pincuk is an assortment of meat and vegetables served with plain rice on a pincuk (banana leaf) - from which the dish derives its name. On my plate there's stewed young jackfruit, beef slices, two types for sambal chilli, sambal goreng tempe (deep fried dried chilli bits, tempe and potato slices marinated in sweet sauce - despite its name, sambal goreng tempe is NOT spicy at all), white rice, vegetables (kangkong, bean sprouts, and cabbage) with peanut sauce, and a lovely piece of cracker.

Mom also ordered nasi pincuk, while dad, because he wanted vegetarian, took the gado gado, which is a mix of vegetables and tofu served with peanut sauce and crackers. It's kind of the Indonesian version of salad.

I'll post more pictures of Surabaya in the next couple of days.
