1945 pays homage to the type of cuisine that was invented in indonesia when the country was under dutch rule in the 19th century. the "rijsttafel" which literally translates to rice table, is a lavish meal adapted by the dutch from the indonesian feast known as nasi pedang that consists of many side dishes served in small portions accompanied by rice. the dishes represent many of the ethnic cultures within the indonesian archipelago.
we went for the grand rijsttafel, which was like having our own little personal buffet. the fun thing about eating something like the grand rijsttafel is the array of dishes you get to try, a bit like a wine tasting tour!
presented on a piece of banana leaf are:
- two mounds of rice, one is nasi koening flavoured with turmeric and chicken stock & second is the nasi oedoek flavoured with coconut and lemon grass;
- tempe teri katjang goreng which is a spicy mix of soybeans, anchovies & peanuts
- ajam panggang ketjap which is grilled spicy chicken drumsticks;
- pork satay skewers;
- perkedel djagoeng which is a corn fritter;
- rendang daging which is beef braised with spices and coconut milk; &
- prawn chips.
lots of food blogs have blogged about this place - so i won't go into anymore details.... you simply have to google 1945 pyrmont to find out more & check out their reviews & pics.
