Apart from "Dari mana, Mister?' and "Mau kemana, Mister?", which translate as "Where are you from?" and "Where are you going?", the most common and therefore boring question asked of any expat here is "Do you like Indonesian food?".

Well, as with all things, I do and I don't. Those of you who want to know how to prepare nasi goreng (fried rice) can do your own Googling, but I have found a local blog devoted to the culinary art of baking. Try this cake which is, of course, typically Indonesian and popular with dentists.
