Javanese Cuisine

Food is also a BIG difference when you go to another country. I was a bit nervous because I wasn't sure how I would react to the spices! But I don't eat spicy most of the time! Today, I had a spicy dish, but I am ok now...wonder if I'll be tomorrow???? ;)

I made it VERY clear to everyone at AIESEC and my host families that I want to try AS MANY THINGS AS I CAN!!! Sometimes, the food is awesome and other times, I wish I didn't take as much as I did! The food is generally REALLY yummy...

There is rice to every meal even in the morning.
They have eggs in most of their dishes.
Their brownies aren't as sweet as the one's we are used too!
They have a slew of different dishes but Javanese food is usually in a soup style!
Breakfast and supper is almost the same!
(I made a pic of a dish (and I'll try to put it up!), and I am 150% that it wouldn't be popular among all of you!!!!)

I think that DH's big appetite rubbed off me! I am ALWAYS hungry! I guess it is the type of food that I eat! I also try to eat smaller portion but more often, but man, Saya lapar ALL the time! People think I am nuts cuz I am always hungry!!!! I think it is pretty funny! :P

Anyways, I really enjoy the food and the first day I arrived, I had to eat with my hands...I think I refined my technique and I challenge anyone to eating with their hands with me! I LOVE it!!!! I try to do it as often as possible...hehehe!
