Indonesia Student Life

Culinary

Indonesia is a country of contrast. You can visit most modern malls and at the same time enjoy the heritage. You can enjoy fancy restaurants and eat in traditional kitchen restaurants where you literally eat in the kitchen. Indonesia is famous for Sumatra, Java, Bali, Flores, Toraja and Papua beans. If you are a tea lover there are plenty of local teas that you can enjoy with cakes or with milk.
