Tamarind Fried Fish: Classic vs. Alternative Dip Recipes
Have you tried Tamarind Fried Fish? It’s a
fascinating dish where fish is soaked in tangy tamarind juice before being
fried to perfection. If you love zesty flavors, this dish is a must-try. I’m a
big fan of such vibrant tastes, and Tamarind Fried Fish, with its lively kick,
hits the spot. Even if you’re not usually into zesty foods, pairing this fried
fish with a spicy soy dip might just open your taste buds to new flavors.
You can use any
type of fish for this recipe. I’m featuring two varieties: torpedo scad (cencaru)
and mackerel (kembung). Each type of fish comes with its own unique dip, making
both versions of this Tamarind Fried Fish equally delightful and easy to
prepare.

Surakarta (Solo): Heartbeat of Central Java
The final day of my 5-day, 4-night escapade has arrived (BOROBUDUR ETERNAL LEGEND & YOGYAKARTA REGAL WONDERS). Tomorrow morning, I’ll be heading back to reality, back to the daily grind. As much as I'd love to keep traveling forever, the truth is, it's time to return home. But not before I embark on my last adventure in Surakarta, also known as Solo.
My day began with a delightful hotel buffet breakfast at Harper Mangkubumi. The spread was a feast for the senses, especially the array of local traditional dishes that tantalized my taste buds. Satisfied and ready for the day, we set off (COLOMBO DREAMS & SEOUL THROUGH MY EYES) for Surakarta.

It's time to talk about the buffet breakfast at Harper Mangkubumi, and trust me, you're in for a treat!

The buffet breakfast at Harper Mangkubumi was a feast for the senses during my stay (COLOMBO DISCOVERY & NEW DELHI REVELATION).

Jogyakarta: Authentic Indonesian Cuisine & Cultural Exposure
After an action-packed morning filled with thrilling adventures (MOUNT MERAPI JEEP TOUR), lunch was a much-anticipated respite. With a sparse breakfast and energy spent, I eagerly looked forward to a hearty meal. Finally (SEOUL THROUGH MY EYES & CHENNAI DISCOVERY) we arrived at Restaurant Timbul Roso, albeit a bit later than planned. The stunning rustic ambiance, highlighted by rich wood tones, made me feel as if I had walked into a luxurious home in Jogjakarta. I longed to sit outside amidst the mini nature jungle, but our group of four opted for the comfort (OSAKA SUNSETS) of the indoor dining area.
