Indonesian Banqueting




So my parents-in-law are in town from Indonesia at the moment and tonight we all got together to enjoy some of Mum S's excellent cooking. First up was Hainan chicken with ginger and plain boiled rice served alongside a clear broth, with lashings of fresh coriander over everything.


Next were
pork spare ribs with a hot bean curd marinade, then noodles lightly tossed about in the wok with celery, egg and chicken. Followed by crunchy whole green asparagus, lightly steamed and topped with fried onion pieces and soy sauce.


And finally some painstakingly-constructed layer cake, with alterning stripes of moist lemon and cinammon sponge. Mmm-mm.

Looks good. My wife is Thai and I enjoy her version of the ginger chicken as well. Nice job.
