New Food Friday...Lalapan

Even though I've been here for almost 1 year, there's still new foods I try all the time(sometimes I never really find out what it is. People tell me and I nod my head, smile and pretend to know what it is:) Something recently I discovered is called "Lalapan." It's actually one of my new favorites to get to eat.

 It's a plate that comes with nasi(rice), some sort of protein(tempe, tofu or chicken) and always has some cabbage leaves, cucumbers, basil leaves, and of course fresh sambal.

Yesterday, I went out to a new warung with my friends, Lila and Ida, and got some Lalapan. The warung was set up right out of this woman's house in their kampung and she had a mat set out on the front yard to sit on. It was just like a picnic! So fun to spend some time with them and fill up on some good Indonesian food before I go to the States for a bit. :)
