Thread: Vegetarian dishes

Many Indonesians eat rice and vegetables, some because they cannot afford other than tempe-tahu but few are vegetarians by choice or at least I have not come across many. I think that you may have little choice but as I am sure you are aware tempe is full of protein.

I would be interested in other vegetable dishes you may find. Good Luck

Pelecing kankung is a typical Lombok dish but can also be found on Bali. At its most basic it is water spinish served with sambal but can also be served with coconut and tempe and possibly more. I am not a fan but my husband is.

Mimpimanis,

You are correct, pelecing kankung is readily available in Bali. Right across the street from the Istana Tampaksiring (the palace built by Soekarno), there is a small, anonymous warung which serves this simple dish with the most delicious sambal I have ever eaten in Bali. And since I am not vegetarian, I add some ayam goreng to the dish. GREAT lunch! Actually, I have more than once driven from Ubud to the Istana just to enjoy this most excellent lunch at the warung. :)

Excuse the spelling mistakes Tintin. Though I get by in spoken Indonesian I rarely read or write anything so dont know how to spell the words. :D

Mimpimanis,

What spelling mistakes? I did not see any, and besides, I am not a good speller myself, as I always mix the French and English spellings, such as exemple (fr.) and example (eng.) (Darn, would you believe I just mixed it up again, even in my present example, and I had to correct it? :oops: :oops:

I should have scrolled up. You posted it in italics and it looked different :roll:
