Rijsttafel, and Javanese food, from Java is simply amazing. If you haven't had an opportunity to travel to Indonesia, you just need to make a trip to K Rd instead! Authentic and honest, its the best I can get outside of Jakarta for the flavours, the texture and definitely the sambal. And the beauty of the Rijsttafel is that if you don't know what to try, it has a bit of every goodness (and plenty of kerupuk!) that makes you come back again and again. Its pretty damn close to my Emak's recipe and just brings back all the fond memories.
