When it is cold, we stay inside and the same thing happen when it is too hot outside. At the moment, we still can tolerate with the sun but soon we will live during the night and day time we'll stay in the office or at home. In Delhi, the weather change radically. Few weeks ago, we had a pleasant weather with the sun and the fresh win but now it is hot and also very dry. Even if we don't stay under the sun the lips are almost burned. If others are suffering with the cold weather like in Europe or else where, Delhi's weather is becoming hot and hotter.
This is Nasi Kuning from Bali, served with satay lilit, chicken masak asam pedas and vegetable. It is served everywhere in Bali. It is a little sad to see that the Indonesian does not serve its delicious traditional foods often as they serve it only for the special occasion. So, everywhere we go, we will find this Nasi Kuning and Nasi Goreng with a little of Gado-Gado.
