Mon 12/26/11 Dinner: Mhmm? The days are so hard to remember now. Jayakarta mie tek tek (goodness, I had to search for the entree name too, sad). Indonesian food, mm. I broke my unwritten code and took a picture after I ate some; there was an egg on top originally. Have a happy new years :)
Nasi Kuning is an Indonesian rice dish cooked with coconut milk and turmeric[1][2], hence the name nasi kuning (yellow rice). Nasi kuning might comes in a form of a cone called a tumpeng and is usually eaten during special events. The rice looks like a pile of gold, so it is often served at parties and opening ceremonies as a symbol of good fortune, wealth and dignity.
It is usually served with a variety of side dishes such as shredded omelet, serundeng (relish of grated coconut and spices), urab(vegetable in shredded coconut dressing), teri kacang (fried anchovy and peanuts), sambal goreng (fried tempeh and potato caramelized in spicy sauce), ayam goreng (Javanese-style fried chicken), balado udang (shrimp in chilli), or perkedel (potato fritters). More elaborate nasi kuning might include fried cow’s brain, fried cow’s lung, beef and seafood. It is common to serve nasi kuning with kerupuk udang (shrimp cracker) and a decoratively cut cucumber.
The top of the tumpeng is customarily given to the most senior person in attendance.

Explosion of flavor in your mouth and it considered as some kind of aphrodisiac ;)
