Kaledo
A spicy beef bone soup from Palu, Central Sulawesi. Large beef bones with marrow are served in a clear, aromatic broth. Diners use a straw to extract the rich bone marrow — a central part of the eating experience.
Sate Babi
Pork satay popular in Bali and Chinese-Indonesian communities. Marinated pork pieces are grilled on skewers and served with a sweet soy or peanut sauce. Unlike most Indonesian satay, this version uses pork and is not halal.
