My last post talked about the execution of 3 Christian trouble makers in Sulawesi. This happened earlier today and there has been some unrest in Central Sulawesi and Flores, the birth palce of the 3 men.
Yahoo reports that ‘machete-wielding mobs ran through the streets’ in Flores, scattering locals. I hate when machete-wielding mobs run through the street, and am glad to report that so far, there has been no reacton here in Bali.

Nasi goreng (fried rice) is a dish popular, not only in Bali, but all over Asia. Its not my favourite by any means, but there are times when nasi goreng is the best option.
Nasi goreng is made by tossing a small plate of steamed white rice, into a wok, with oil, vegetables and sometimes seafood, or chicken. It is usually served with a fried egg slapped on top and giant prawn cracker.
Good points about nasi goreng:
Has a lot of calories if you are hungry
Is relatively cheap
They know how to make it
Can be high in protein (chicken, egg)
Bad points about nasi goreng:
Can be bland
Can be greasy
Can taste like everything else that came out of the wok that day
Can be too much rice, if you are looking for something a little more itneresting.
How much is a nasi goreng?
You can get a nasi goreng in Bamboo Corner on Poppies I in Kuta for 7,000rp and one in Kori Restaurant in Kuta for 38,000rp. Wherever you get nasi goreng, it will always be one of the cheaper options.
Types of nasi goreng:
Vegetable nasi goreng will contain carrot, cabbage, greens and other items. Seafood nasi goreng, will contain shrimp, squid and other white fish. Nasi goreng ayam (chicken) will of Course have chicken plus maybe a small amount of greens.
Where to get the best nasi goreng:
For price and volume, its got to be Bamboo Corner. The taste is decent too. I hate greasy nasi goreng, and better places like Poppies, on Poppies I do a good one.
