Originally from Chinese and the Indons added some spices and it is now called Nasi Goreng- still meaning 'fried-rice'. The name hasn't changed. The Malays and S.E. Asia Indians also have their own versions of Nasi Goreng. Yup. they also called it 'Nasi Goreng'	bk T (215)
872356	2010-04-04 11:03:00	Can someone recommend a real good Indonesian / Malay (not Malaysian, as Malaysian is rojak - mixture of Malays + Chinese dishes) restaurant? I can't find a restaurant serving true, genuine authentic Indonesian/Malay food in Auckland. Similarly, can't find a really good Chinese restaurant or a Thai restaurant. There used to be a good Indonesian restaurant on Mt Eden Road close to Valley Rd, sorry don't recall the name, and it's about a year or so since we were last there. And Nasti Goreng was definitely not on the menu. Chinese? A great place is Chow at Auckland Viaduct (Packenham St East - 365 2585). Europeanised, but consistently good. Otahuhu has a couple of good Chinese places off the main drag, and upstairs. Authentic - ask locally, and of course, there's many good places at (C)Howick. Excellent place at Manukau City as part of the Motel complex close to Valentines, Dennys, theatre (Gt South Rd / Hill Road). Don't let those neighbours put you off, the food is superb, almost fine dining. Bon appetit (in Cantonese)!	WalOne (4202)

The recipe that pctek posted in the previous page is one of the many recipes available for Nasi Goreng. Heck, the interpretation of "fried rice" is subjective as the ingredients can be anything that you would like to include into the dish.

Been to almost all the 'Malaysian' restaurants and always came out with terrible disappointments! Their rendang, lasi lemak , etc. etc. are like sh##. Some even dip-fried their 'satay' - what a joke!	bk T (215)

Some even dip-fried their 'satay' - what a joke! If you want rendang beef there's a decent recipe base for it named 'Munik'. Haven't been able to find it recently though. The rendang served in NZ or as prepared by these recipe bases are however quite different to what the original Padang people serve up. The original rendang beef is much spicier and hotter, less saucy and overall much better.	qazwsxokmijn (102)

Those who come to a new country with all the baggage of their past, and who wish to be apart from the society of the host country and have no intention of integrating into the society of the country should not be allowed to stay. This is not racist it is common sense. As you can see Ken,they prefer to talk about eating. No idea apart from apathy why it is,that the do gooders an PC brigade rule.

872362	2010-04-04 21:54:00	Proudly, I would say that my own curry, rendang, nasi lemak, hainanese chicken rice, etc. etc are much better than theirs. :D Maybe, it's just personal preferences. I'm not (and never been) a commercial chef, though.	bk T (215)

My view is, obviously, those applicants are not doing the right thing but are we (our immigration officers) not to be responsible, too? We may have a very good set of rules and regulations but if we can't (or don't) enforce it, then who is to be blamed? If we have difficulties enforcing it, there must be something wrong somewhere along the line. Two things pop up of my mind immediately: 1. incompetent enforcement officers. 2. corruption.	bk T (215)
