Questionable


My friend Jennie loves adventure and trying new things (she's an extreme P... if that means anything to you). We were going to grab a bite to eat one night and ended up going to Indonesian food at a place one of the high schoolers highly recommended. After being taken up two flights of stairs and through various rooms, we ended up on the balcony of this restaurant, where we were offered prime seating right in front of a group playing the xylophone or some traditional bamboo instrument like it. We opted to not be in the spotlight and chose a table more off to the side. The menu had a wide variety of fish that they'd serve to you freshly barbequed and whole. We chose some more common Indonesian dishes like nasi goreng (fried rice) with some sea food. But for dessert Jennie's high school friend raved about this thing... not sure what it's called. It's a banana wrapped in a gelatinous coconut mixture, floating in ice sweetened condensed milk and pink stuff. Tastes about like it looks! You just never know. Needless to say, by the time we were done with all that we were ready to go and leave the xylophone players behind. We both kind of had a headache.

Hi, this is a great blog :) Yes, that "dessert" does look, er, 'questionable'. Sounds like a fun adventure so far you're having (or at least, an *exciting* adventure).

Indonesia is definitely a way different place than America, isn't it :)
