What a great dish Lani, it reminds me of my honeymoon. So long ago. The Indonesia food is fantastic, thank you for sharing. I will prepare for my husband for our anniversary coming soon in July.
Thanks you so much, Laura. Indonesian food is one of our favorite cuisines. I always make it at home since there is hardly an Indonesian restaurant here in Ontario. There is one and only that we always go since the early 90’s. The food is amazing but it’s quite expensive. We only go there on special occasions. I hope that my recipe suits to your taste. Advance happy anniversary to you both. Cheers!
Wow, this dish sounds amazing. I love the colors and spice. I’ve been looking for ways to incorporate tofu into our diet. I’ll give this one a try. Looks delicious!
Thanks Michelle!
You will not be disappointed when you try this recipe. Please let me know how it turns out. Cheers!♥
