Similarity among Datuk, Angel and Snacks?
Allow me to do an introduction before I go further in my Jakarta posts.
Usually you don't find me snacking but over there, I spend almost RM100 in a chain snack shop, Snackzone (colourful website). Bought some for colleagues, some for family members, some for friends and some because they look interesting. The variety of snack, not strangers. Here, take a peep:-
Plenty of fried singkong aka fried cassava, a starchy root vegetable similar to potato. Taste quite similar too. Err same same but different? A quick google revealed that it’s one of the staple food in most Asean countries except Malaysia. Hmmm. I bought so many packets and procastinated the picture taking. Consequence, all finished and no picture. *sigh* If it's any consolation, see those dark brown crakers-like packs in the plastic bag carrier?
Now this I find most interesting.
(If you happen to browse through my previous post , you would have noted the sticker on the glass container. Last photo.) Most people thought it was preserved cactus and were genuinely surprised when they took a daring bite. Nutmeg ie Buah Pala in Malay. Labouriously cut, dyed, dried and liberally doused with sugar.
You get it now? The similarity is of course the high level of sweetness all around !
How did Datuk K and Angel S pamper us? Posts coming up soon .. let's hope.

Beautiful Indonesia. I pitied the driver. The amount of stuffs they have is mind boggling! No wonder the run-around. The are not lacking in resources but rather good leadership! Yeah, singkong the common man's snack.

worldwindows, plenty of special stuff there. Real pity moi not an adventurous foodie.
All colorful sweet sweet stuff. :)
tummythoz,
I think all the sweetness is natural eh? By the way, got dried apple?
Love snacks that cure the munchies AND provide good source of fibre! I'm disturbed by the amount of sugar that is needed to preserve the stuff though... it can't be all natural, can it???
Little inbox, ironically sometimes it's the colour that puts potential consumers off with the exception of kids, of course.
kok, that's what I was telling (not cheating myself, I hope) myself when munching away.
550ml jar of faith, too late. Wateva it was, it's already in my blood stream. (-_-)"

Awww... Haven't been to Jakarta in some years. Missing it... looking forward to your upcoming posts as a trip down memory lane for me, then. :)
Life for Beginners, foodwise? Sight seeing was restricted to car rides between shopping complexes and restaurants. =P
