Rijst Tafel ( Rice Table )
Tumpeng_FeastBelow are a few menu samples, starting from a simple luncheon to the full blown traditional “rijsttafel”. Remember they can be only suggestions and you’re liberal to substitute any dish that can your liking. Unlike western customs, in which the starters, main dishes and desserts are served as different courses, with Indonesian meals all dishes are served at the same time. As all of my main recipes are planned for 4 persons being a main meal, you can reduce the amount you prepare or result in the stated amount and possess 6-7 servings. The most enjoyable approach to serve a Indonesian meal is usually to give every guest a hot plate and set all the food at the center of the table. Guest will then serve them self with rice (boiled or fried) and hang up small amounts of the disposable foods around their plate that they can can add to everyone through their meal.
