On choosing a caleg
One of the great things about democracy is that citizens get the opportunity to vote for the legislators who will represent them in parliament. But with so many political parties in Indonesia, there are a huge number of candidates (caleg) to choose from. So how can a political party select a caleg who stands out from the crowd and who resonates with voters? By selecting a celebrity as a caleg of course! To some this may be seen as a rather desperate move but some voters (particularly men) may be more likely to vote for an attractive actress rather than some boring old man they have never heard of. Celebrity caleg in the coming election include Krisdayanti , Diana Sastra, Tamara Geraldine, Kalina Oktarani, Desy Ratnasari, Rachel Maryam, Annisa Bahar, Nafa Urbach, Mulan Jameela and Lula Kamal. Quite simply, take your pick!
This post is about street food - not Indonesian food per se - I wouldn't call nasi padang "street food" for example. Some of the street food can be great - but it's very hit and miss depending on whether you find a good seller. As for bakso, it may taste great, but there is a good chance borax is in there somewhere. Better to have sate, nasi goreng or something else instead.
ReplyDeleteLOL I like how you described the rujak cingur, that's Surabaya's delicacy :)
