but only fried bananas
AUCH exotic food comes from Indonesin-must exciting for me, last week, because an Indonesian meal was prepared in my kitchen, which must have been one of the most colourful spots in London. Two Indonesian women, dressed in their kin and kebaja (skirt and jucke! 10 us) and their | palangi (scarf or show!). with flowers in their mooth-us-ailk hair, were working like beavers--but neither of them Wore 201 apron and they did not spal their lovely clothes.
Mrs Pesek, one of the Indo- resian team at the International Kitchen in last year's Food Fair, .brought her friend, Mrs Tobing, to help her. And she needed help!
Except for the fried bananas, I feel that any one of the dishes would make a main course for most of us in this country.
