Kerupuk Tin Can

Leave a comment Posted by on January 16, 2014

A see-through tin receptacle for large kerupuk (starch/flour/rice crackers) that are oftentimes eaten as side dish to a rice meal, as in one would chomp on the crackers, then partake on rice with viand using hands, then chomp on the crackers again and so on in that manner.  I’ve easily acquired the taste and habit of having kerupuk in my meals and have simply adapted to this kind of eating while I was in Indonesia.

Lesehan

A kind of street restaurant (rather a sidewalk one) minus the chairs. But who needs chairs when one can comfortably sit and eat on the floor. Utensils are optional too but each one gets a bowl of water for handwashing.

The floor mat I noticed were those weaved plastic ones.

One can always have a typical restaurant dinner anytime in my home country and for occasions such as New Year’s Eve it’s kind of natural thinking for most (who can afford) to celebrate it in fancier restaurants (if eating outside home), in fine dining style. But my last dinner for 2013 was a very satisfying meal of bebek goreng and nasi goreng with lots of sambal, hand as utensils, in lesehan-style.
