Jakarta was home to me for four years, and I miss their “teh botol,” “es teler” and of course nasi goreng

Lori, I enjoyed reading your three-part article about Indonesian food immensely. I must say it is written very well and worth publishing. Thank you very very much for the by-gone memories!

lori! I was born in Malaysia but my family left when i was very young and i have never gone back! Your trip to Indonesia totally made me want to go and revisit the country, the city i was born in – my Kuala Lumpur! I have been reading your blog for a long time, and it’s always a joy for me, first because the posts are so nicely written, second ’cause the pictures you take are amazing and well, maybe most important of all, is the fact that you always remind me of how much i want to go back and discover not just my birthplace, but all these amazing asian countries and their cuisines and cultures!! thanks for everything!!!

Nice to hear someone here appreciating Indonesian food.
I like your writing style, so passionate and I can tell that you like to eat. Also you are spot on on the food. It only lacks Sop Kaki Kambing (Goat-Leg’s Soup) but then again no sane 7 year’s old will eat that

Another thing is the pictures moements and lightings are really good. Without understating your photography skills, I am curious on what camera and lens you are using.

And btw, they sell Beng Beng here at Indonesian Embassy store at Salcedo.

It’s interesting to see how much we have in common with Indonesia, yet have things that are distinctly different. I for one am loving the virtual tour of this country via your writing
