- Nasi Goreng – Perhaps the most ubiquitous dish in Indonesia, nasi goreng (fried rice) can be found on just about every street corner. A big plate of seasoned rice usually topped with an egg. It’ll fill you up, and usually only cost you a buck.
- Nasi Campur – If you need a little more variety, order up a plate of nasi campur (mixed rice). These places usually have a wide variety of dishes ready to go. Simply point and tell them what you want on top of your rice, Pay based on the items you choose
- Gado-Gado – This classic Indonesia dish is a combination of boiled vegetables with a hard-boiled egg covered in a delicious peanut sauce. It often includes some fried tofu or tempeh and is typically eaten with some krupuk crackers.
- Mie ayam and Bakso – Indonesia’s version of a meatball soup is beloved by people all across the country. Even Barack Obama has fond memories of eating bakso when he lived in Indonesia! Sure, it may seem a bit sketchy buying mysterious meatballs from a guy peddling a tricycle around the streets, but it’s awesome.
- Sate – These little meat sticks are cooked up on street corners everywhere. They usually come in two varieties – chicken and goat – and are served with sambal chili sauce and the same peanut sauce you get on gado-gado.
