Good morning! Beautiful Saturday started with delicious food. Here are some Indonesian cuisine.

1). Bebek Betutu

Duck with Betutu (means "roasted meat" in Balinese language) style of cooking, aromatic spices, lawar, and rice. This dish is from Bali, Indonesia.

Bebeknya empuk, gak alot.

The duck meat is tender, not tough.

2) Lukisan Bali

Balinese painting.

3). Soto Betawi

The Benjamin Family Graveyard

Like most old school Betawi people, Engkong Walter Benjamin buries his relatives in his own backyard, among the shade of the banyan trees laden with moss, the bamboos, and the shrubbery, right next to the family pond. But only the Benjamin family remains more than active in the afterlife. 

It is Walter himself who takes care of the family graveyard as a retiree of the National Land Agency. He isn’t sure when did he start seeing his dead, long gone relatives. His dearly departed wife, Maryam Dhanurendra, always stays by his side and gives him advice in tough times. 

Not all of the spirits are very helpful, though. Walter’s late mother, Mak Asma, has a habit of yelling at him and disturbs his sleep by sweeping the yards with her long, whittled broom at 2 AM in the morning, while his father, Babeh Bendjamin, leaves the pungent smell of his cigarette everywhere in the house and stares at Walter in the middle of the night. Luckily, they don’t appear very often. 

When Walter was a little lad and his mother gave him hell and his father beat him up, his only defender was his grandmother, Nyai Inah. She was an expert at making fried goods, and even once departed she leaves the fragrant smell of her cooking from time to time, though sometimes the smell can be rotten--you’ll have to excuse her, she was very fond of stink beans. 

The late Kong Sadelih likes to materialize in fits of laughter, floating around in his rocking chair (which was supposed to have been destroyed by Nyai Inah when she sat on it out of spite for her husband once). Engkong is tall and thin, and is mostly quiet, preferring to talk to himself. He has a great love for Noer, Walter’s eldest brother that died of an illness when he was a toddler.

Ncang Ijul was overly excited back in the independence times, which is why his spirit likes to march, climb, and run around. If you hear bumps in the night, it’s likely that it’s just Babeh Bendjamin’s older brother. Poor guy, he died a bachelor, which makes him a very flirty ghost. 

Lastly is the Nyonya. Nobody really knows who she is. Her grave has been there since before the house and the gardens were built, back when the goat barn was still a Dutch warehouse. The Nyonya rarely appears, and when she appears, she could make the hair on your back stand. It’s better to steer clear if you see something red hanging around the banyan tree.
