What's the cuisine like in Indonesia?

There's really no such thing as "Indonesian food," because in a pluralist country with 11,000+ islands and hundreds of different ethnic groups, the only commonality will be white rice. Yes, steamed white rice is the staple food and is served with every meal in Indonesia.

If you want to see what Indonesian food looks like in Java, here's a good blog. I suppose if there is such a thing as "Indonesian food," it would be mainly the cuisine of Java.

Here's a blogger with some amazing photography of Indonesian food. The first page is mainly about the food of Bali.

The second page of that same food blog, here, has a nice posting about Babi Panggang, a famous Batak dish. It's roasted Pork. The Bataks and Indonesian Chinese argue about who invented it. The Dutch discovered it when they were the Colonial masters of Indonesia and brought it back to Holland where they now claim it as their own.

Finally, the Batak national dish is Saksang, pork cooked in a thick stew. Here's a page devoted to praises of Saksang, but it's not in English unfortunately. The picture shows Saksang on the right and the fresh Batak waterbuffalo cheese on the left and some Babi Panggang in the back.
