Indonesia is blessed with all kinds of spices, and many parts of the nation have lived with savory and spicy recipes for generations. From fruit salad drenched in spicy sambal to noodle soup that will leave you breathless. Indonesia has a lot of delicious delicacies that are better known for their ability to set tongues on fire. So, when a menu says a meal is going to be spicy, they are not kidding, it is going to burn “uninitiated” tongues or have you running for the bathroom the next morning. Think twice before you dare yourself to down a spoonful of Indonesian chili paste. If you are the adventurous type and your tongue and stomach can take it, why not try Seblak or Oseng-oseng mercon. Seblak from West Java, notorious for its devilish spicy broth. The primary ingredient is kerupuk or crackers, combined with side additions like chicken or sausage, drenched in the reddish thick broth. Oseng-oseng mercon, this dish is from Yogyakarta. The recipe most commonly uses beef as the primary ingredient, stir-fried with the spicy seasoning. If your palate can endure this spicy deliciousness, then you might actually be prepared to try the other dishes Indonesia has to offer.
