Indonesian culinary varies depending on the area. Rice is the main dish
of mostly Indonesian and it is served with meat or vegetables. In the eastern
part of the country the main dish is sago. Spices (mostly chili), coconut milk,
fish and chicken meat are important ingredients for Indonesian cooking.
Some Indonesian meals are popular not only in Indonesia but also in
foreign countries. Sate, gulai (lamb soup), curry, rawon (meat
soup), nasi goreng, rendang, gado-gado, meat ball, tahu, tempe,
etc. are some popular food. Even sambel uleg (traditional chili sauce)
has been exported to some European countries. A recent research (as broadcasted
on TVs in January 2013) has proved that nasi goreng is the first most favorite
food in the world. People call it “nasi goreng”, not “fried rice” (in
English translation). It means that the name nasi goreng has been
internationally known. Surprisingly, the second most wanted meal is rendang,
another food from Sumatra.
There are also light snacks like traditional cakes sold in traditional
market. Recently they are also available in modern market. Those cakes are
usually made of rice, glutinous rice, cassava, yam, flour, sago, potato,
etc.
Some interesting kinds of food are offered by the street vendors using
food carts. People can easily find them in towns and cities. The number of the
vendors commonly increases in the evening.

On Saturday 12 January we went to
the Botanic Gardens. We walked down and boarded the bus.
After we arrived at the gardens we
walked down to the Education Centre. Grade eight went to have a look around.
First we went to the First Farm and Mrs. James read us some of the information.
Then we looked at all the lovely plants. After that we went down to a little
spot in the Botanic Gardens and had morning tea.
Next we did sketching and then we
met back at the Education Centre with Year Nine to have lunch. Soon after it
was time for us to go and make our terrarium while Grade nine went to have
their walk.
A lady took us into a special room
and introduced herself, and then she explained what we were going to do. Next
she took us into a pyramid terrarium. It was most interesting. Later we went
back and made our terrariums.
Soon after we had finished we went
back outside. Then we reboarded the bus and returned to school.

Rafflesia can be found in the
forests of Malaysia, Southern Thailand, Sumatra and Java. But, Rafflesia
flowers are fairly hard to locate. It is especially difficult to see them in
bloom. Its buds take up to 10 months to develop while its blossom lasts for just
a few days.
Rafflesia has brownish, scale
like leaves and fleshy, smelling flowers of various sizes, from few inches to
meter big in diameter. We usually notice its large fleshy flowers. There is a
deep well in the centre of the flowers. The sexual organs are located beneath
the rim of the disk. Male and female flowers are separate.
The reddish brown colors of
the petals, sprinkled with white freckles produce unpleasant stench, similar to
rotting flesh. This would attract flies and insects which help disperse the
seeds. Rafflesia is parasite, which means it takes the nutrient out of its
host.
