Due to religion, pork is rarely served in Indonesia with the exception of Bali where locals are Hindu. So when in Bali you can enjoy juicy Babi Guling (roasted pig). Satay is skewered marinated meat usually chicken, served with Sambal (spicy sauce with shrimp paste) or peanut sauce. Nasi Goreng (fried rice) is a tourist favorite and is traditionally topped with fried egg. For dessert there is Cendol (red beans, jellies, corn, and other fruits served in milk and crushed ice) providing relief from the tropical heat.
Other popular foods in Indonesia are Rendang (spicy seared beef), Gado-gado (salad of fried tofu, steamed vegetables, potatoes, hard boiled egg topped with peanut sauce), and Tumpeng (cone-shaped yellow rice).
