Hugo and I just returned from a two-night get-a-way in Jayapura in celebration of our upcoming 12th anniversary. Our first night we ate at a "swanky" restaurant called Restaurant 89. Not sure why... The cook works right at the entrance so you can watch him and his underlings, with their odd longish hairdo's, as they prepare your food. In the second photo you can see my noodles on the green plate waiting for their turn to be fried. I ordered one of my favorite dishes, ifu mie. It means vegetables over noodles. The noodles are fried first, very yummy (don't think about the oil... don't think about the oil...) then some shrimp and some chicken is fried up, then some veggies, and then the guy uses his spatula to get seasonings from different bowls, and then adds water and cornstarch and finally, an egg "whipped" with chopsticks. He then pours the lot on top of the waiting fried noodles. So yum! Hugo ordered nasi goreng (how boring) and fried shrimp (they were good but we missed some sauce to dip them in...). Our children were in the very capable care of our good friends Jan and Dini.
More on our adventures tomorrow....
