Why spend a fortune on a meal out, when you can shop for fresh ingredients locally and still sit down to an amazing meal. Hey ho this isn’t just about saving money, my experience on my friend Keycee’s Birthday Meal was a nightmare when the bill arrived for 12 people.
Last year I did 8 main courses for my birthday party and they were all Indonesian dishes. Now I will share all the recipes and how to create Indonesian food that you can enjoy without a doubt.
One of the dishes that is everyones favourite is Beef Rendang
