Indonesian culinary varies depending on the area. Rice is the main dish of mostly
Indonesian and it is served with meat or vegetables. In the eastern part of the country the
main dish is sago. Spices (mostly chili), coconut milk, fish and chicken meat are important
ingredients for Indonesian cooking.
Some Indonesian meals are popular not only in Indonesia but also in foreign countries.
Sate, gulai (lamb soup), curry, rawon (meat soup), nasi goreng, rendang, gado-gado, meat
ball, tahu, tempe, etc. are some popular food. Even sambel uleg (traditional chili sauce) has
been exported to some European countries. A recent research (as broadcasted on TVs in
January 2013) has proved that nasi goreng is the first most favorite food in the world. People
call it “nasi goreng”, not “fried rice” (in English translation). It means that the name nasi
goreng has been internationally known. Surprisingly, the second most wanted meal is
rendang, another food from Sumatra.
There are also light snacks like traditional cakes sold in traditional market. Recently
they are also available in modern market. Those cakes are usually made of rice, glutinous
rice, cassava, yam, flour, sago, potato, etc.
Some interesting kinds of food are offered by the street vendors using food carts.
People can easily find them in towns and cities. The number of the vendors commonly
increases in the evening.

On Saturday 12 January we went to the Botanic Gardens. We walked down and
boarded the bus.
After we arrived at the gardens we walked down to the Education Centre. Grade eight
went to have a look around. First we went to the First Farm and Mrs. James read us some of
the information. Then we looked at all the lovely plants. After that we went down to a little
spot in the Botanic Gardens and had morning tea.
Next we did sketching and then we met back at the Education Centre with Year Nine to
have lunch. Soon after it was time for us to go and make our terrarium while Grade nine went
to have their walk.
A lady took us into a special room and introduced herself, and then she explained what
we were going to do. Next she took us into a pyramid terrarium. It was most interesting. Later
we went back and made our terrariums.
Soon after we had finished we went back outside. Then we reboarded the bus and
returned to school.
