Good to know
Flavours & local habits
🍽️ Worth tasting
- Nasi goreng: fried rice, the national dish, eaten at any hour.
- Satay: grilled skewers under a peanut sauce.
- Rendang: beef cooked down for hours with coconut and spice.
- Gado-gado: blanched vegetables and egg, dressed with peanut again.
- Coffee, and tropical fruit worth the detour: mangosteen, and durian if you dare.
⚠️ Best avoided
- Check the scooter and the helmet before you rent, and carry the right licence.
- Cover shoulders and knees in temples: a sarong is usually lent at the gate.
- Bottled water, and change money in a bank rather than at a street booth.
- Walk around the canang offerings on the pavement, never over them.
