Indonesian culinary varies depending on the area. Rice is the main dish
of mostly Indonesian and it is served with meat or vegetables. In the eastern
part of the country the main dish is sago. Spices (mostly chili), coconut milk,
fish and chicken meat are important ingredients for Indonesian cooking.
Some Indonesian meals are popular not only in Indonesia but also in
foreign countries. Sate, gulai (lamb soup), curry, rawon (meat
soup), nasi goreng, rendang, gado-gado, meat ball, tahu, tempe,
etc. are some popular food. Even sambel uleg (traditional chili sauce)
has been exported to some European countries. A recent research (as broadcasted
on TVs in January 2013) has proved that nasi goreng is the first most favorite
food in the world. People call it “nasi goreng”, not “fried rice” (in
English translation). It means that the name nasi goreng has been
internationally known. Surprisingly, the second most wanted meal is rendang,
another food from Sumatra.
There are also light snacks like traditional cakes sold in traditional
market. Recently they are also available in modern market. Those cakes are
usually made of rice, glutinous rice, cassava, yam, flour, sago, potato,
etc.
Some interesting kinds of food are offered by the street vendors using
food carts. People can easily find them in towns and cities. The number of the
vendors commonly increases in the evening.

After we arrived at the gardens we
walked down to the Education Centre. Grade eight went to have a look around.

spot in the Botanic Gardens and had morning tea.
Next we did sketching and then we
met back at the Education Centre with Year Nine to have lunch. Soon after it
was time for us to go and make our terrarium while Grade nine went to have
their walk.
A lady took us into a special room

Rafflesia can be found in the
forests of Malaysia, Southern Thailand, Sumatra and Java. But, Rafflesia
flowers are fairly hard to locate. It is especially difficult to see them in
bloom. Its buds take up to 10 months to develop while its blossom lasts for just
a few days.
Rafflesia has brownish, scale
like leaves and fleshy, smelling flowers of various sizes, from few inches to
meter big in diameter. We usually notice its large fleshy flowers. There is a
deep well in the centre of the flowers. The sexual organs are located beneath
the rim of the disk. Male and female flowers are separate.
The reddish brown colors of
the petals, sprinkled with white freckles produce unpleasant stench, similar to
rotting flesh. This would attract flies and insects which help disperse the
seeds. Rafflesia is parasite, which means it takes the nutrient out of its

Once upon a time, there lived a
kindhearted man and his wife. One morning , his wife found a poor little sparrow.
She took it gently and fed it. To show its gratitude, the sparrow stayed with
the couple and sang every morning.
Unfortunately, there was an ill-tempered old woman who did not
like the sparrow. She cut the sparrow’s tongue. The sparrow was very sad and
hurt, so the bird flew away to its previous nest.
Knowing that their sparrow flew
away, the kind man and the woman looked for their sparrow. They walked a long
way, crossed the river, and passed the wood.
The long and hard journey brought them
to the sparrow’s nest. The sparrow welcomed them and provided a feast for them.
Before they went home, the sparrow brought two baskets, one was large and
looked heavy and the other one was small and light. The sparrow asked them to
choose one. They chose the small one. And that was best choice. There were many
rolls of silk and piles of gold in it.
Being jealous, the ill-tempered
old woman did the same thing as the kind man and woman did. She chose the big
