Introduction       
Geographic and cultural diversity,          together with a long history of visiting foreign merchants and colonists,          have produced Indonesia's unique cuisine, which is still largely unknown          to the outside world with the possible exception of the Netherlands.
The Chinese introduced nasi goreng (fried          rice with vegetables), mie (noodles)          stir-frying and the wajang (wok), the Indians          their curries and spices (notably cardamom, coriander, cumin, ginger,          onions and garlic), the Spanish chilli, peanuts and tomatoes while the          Dutch have left their mark with sweets and cakes, and of course rijstaffel          ( a selection of up to 40 dishes of meat, vegetables          and rice served in individual bowls).
Indonesian cuisine continues to adopt          ingredients and technologies – thanks to the Indonesian people's open-mindedness          towards the new and their ability to give the new dishes a 'local twist'.          For example, at a McDonalds in Indonesia, a Big Mac comes with chilli and you can even order          McSatay!
How Indonesians          eat
Indonesians eat relatively simple but          delicious meals. Indonesian food is essentially 'peasant' cuisine – fresh,          simple ingredients, combined with a subtle blend of spices, resulting          in a delicious, inexpensive meal. Eating only becomes a grand affair in          Indonesia when communal feats are held to celebrate family          occasions, such as weddings, funerals and circumcisions, or harvest and          religious feasts, such as the end of Ramadan.
An Indonesian meal usually consists          of a main rice (nasi) dish with a combination of meat, fish, chicken,          vegetable and egg side dishes. The range of flavourings used in Indonesian          cooking is vast. Aromatic coriander and cumin, together with chillies,          lemon grass, coconut, kecap manis          (sweet soy sauce) and palm sugar are all important flavourings while sambal – a hot chilli sauce – is served just about          everywhere, in case the food isn't spicy enough!
Vegetables are well catered for and          Indonesian cooking uses tahu (tofu, soybean          cake) and tempe (fermented soybeans), which are both good sources          of protein.
Traditionally, food is eaten using          the fingers of the right hand (the left is considered unclean), hence          the soft stickiness of their rice. However, in areas familiar with Westerners,          cutlery will be provided – usually a spoon and a fork – but otherwise          you'll just have to 'do as the natives do'.
Sate, nasi goreng          and gado gado          (vegetables with spicy peanut sauce) are some of Indonesia's most famous dishes.
Regional Food
Many dishes served in restaurants come          from Java and Sumatra. The coastal areas traditionally use a wider range          of spices and flavourings. Sumatran cooking blends fresh and dry spices          to produce hot and spicy dishes served with plenty of rice to tone down          the spices. Rendang (meat simmered in spices and coconut milk)          is a traditional West Sumatran dish. The Javanese use a more subtle blend          of fresh spices, together with chilli mellowed by the addition of sugar.          The Sundanese people of West Java make a beautiful crisp aromatic salad (karedok).
The third region usually visited by          tourists is Bali and Lombock, where you'll          find delicious sate (small pieces of meat roasted on a skewer)          and poultry dishes. Babi guling          (roasted suckling pig) is a traditional Balinese dish.
Where to          eat
Indonesians eat best at home. So an          invitation to eat with any friends you make in Indonesia should not be missed! Outside the home there are a range of eating places open all day.
Snacks – soup, sate (satay),          noodles, etc. – can be obtained from a kaki lima          (food cart). The smaller ones are mobile and the larger          ones have tables and benches nearby.
Warungs (street stalls) are simple, open-air eating-places providing a small          range of dishes based on rice and one meat or vegetable. A good place          for warungs is at the pasar          malam (night market). It's unlikely you'll find a menu          in them – either ask for what you want or have a look and see what others          are eating.
Rumah          makan (eating house) refers to anything one step above          a warung, although some owners prefer to use          the more western-sounding restoran. Offerings          may be as simple as a warung's, but usually          include more choices of meat and vegetable dishes, and spicy accompaniments.
Simple Padang restaurants are common everywhere, although they          are most authentic around Padang, the West Sumatran capital from which the cuisine          originates. You don't order, but are presented with plain rice and a large          selection of hot and spicy meat, fish and vegetable dishes. You pay for          what you eat. But beware – a lot of padang food is extremely hot!
Large hotels in places such as Jakarta and Bali often have          extensive buffets, incorporating richly spiced and sauced dishes. This          is a modern version of Dutch rijstaffel, which          once fed planters and businessmen.
Spices, sauces          and flavourings
Asam          (Tamarind)
In Indonesian, asam is the name given to tamarind as well as the taste:          sour. This is the pulp surrounding the pod found on the tamarind tree.          It is usually sold in dried form and is mixed with water when used in          curries and fish dishes.
Cengkeh          (Cloves)
These are the buds of the clove tree.          Once only grown in the Maluku islands, cloves          were the catalyst for an intense trade war between the Dutch, English          and Portuguese. You won't taste cloves much in Indonesian cooking but          you will smell them burning everywhere as they're the prime ingredient          in kretek (clove cigarettes).
Daun          Jeruk Perut (Kaffir Lime Leaves)
These aromatic, tart-tasting leaves          are used much the same way as bay leaves are – namely, added into a stock          or curry then taken out before serving.
Duan          Salam (Salam Leaves)
These leaves are also called 'Indonesian          laurel leaves' or 'Indonesian bay leaves'. But neither name does the leaf          justice. It is an aromatic ingredient added to savoury dishes.
Gula          (Sugar)
The main sweetener in Indonesian cooking          is gula merah          (palm sugar), which is made by extracting and boiling sap from the jaka (palm tree). Unlike granulated cane sugar, palm          sugar is sold as a solid block. When it comes to using the sugar, it is          chipped off or even grated into the mix. (It is also what makes teh          manis (sweet tea)          so sweet.)
Kemiri          (Candlenut)
The fleshy interior of these nuts is          used to add a nutty flavour and creamy texture to dishes.
Laos & Kencur (Galangal)
Laos has the same shape and function as ginger, but is          bright orange and has a more bitter taste. Also popular is kencur          which has more of a kick than laos.
Minyak          (Oil)
The most widely used oil is minyak          kelapa (cocounut oil) as it burns at a high temperature, making it          perfect for deep frying. Other types of oil include minyak          kacang (peanut oil) and minyak jagung (corn          oil). But coconut oil, also called minyak          sawit, is the number one oil used for all types of cooking.
Pala          (Nutmeg)
It's ironic that the ingredient all          of Europe scrambled for in the 16th-17th centuries isn’t used          very extensively in the Indonesian kitchen. The fruit of the nutmeg is          made into a preserve called manisan          pala and both the seed and the nutmeg's shell are dried          and sold whole or as powder.
Duan          Pendan (Screwpine)
This plant, named for its twisted stems,          is used in traditional cooking from India to Australia. Screwpine is used in sweet          dishes for its delicate fragrance and green colouring.
Terasi,          Belacan (Shrimp Paste)
You'll know when you come across shrimp          paste because it has a very fishy, pungent aroma. This paste is made from          small shrimp that are rinsed in sea water, dried, salted,          dried again then pummelled to a paste. It is left to dry for about two          weeks before being shaped into blocks. As you would expect, the paste          adds a fishy, salty flavour to dishes.
Chilli
Known as cabe when fresh off the bush and sambal          when mashed into a paste, chillies are what make Indonesians tick and          they'll add them to almost anything. If you ever fall victim to a deceptively          hot chilli, don't try to extinguish the fire with water as it will          only make it worse. Instead, eat some plain rice.
Sambal          (Chilli sauce)
The Mexicans have salsa, the Indians          chutney, but in Indonesia, the essential condiment is sambal          (chilli sauce). A table set without sambal isn't          set properly. Sambals come in many varieties but the base for any sambal will be chillies, garlic, shallots and salt. Here are          some of the most popular varieties:
Sambal          Badjak: Chilli sauce made with shallots, sugar, tamarind,          galangal and shrimp paste. Fried to a caramel consistency.          (Mild by Indonesian standards.)
Sambal          Jeruk: Chilli sauce made with lime juice, lime peel, salt          and vinegar.
Sambal          Terasi: Chilli sauce made with lime and roasted shrimp paste.
Ulek: Chilli sauce made with vinegar and lots of chillies. Very spicy!
Pecel: This sauce is similar to sambal but the spice          is lessened with the addition of peanuts and tomato.
Saus          Kacang (Peanut Sauce)
This is one of Indonesia's most famous culinary exports, the reason being          that peanut sauce is so versatile. It can be used as a condiment, as a          dip or as the flavour for a main meal. It is most famous for its appearance          in gado gado.
Kecap          (Soy Sauce)
Every restaurant in the country provides          their diners with a bottle of soy sauce (made from soybeans fermented          in brine). Most provide two – kecap          asin (salty soy sauce), which is the same as soy sauce          found throughout the world, and kecap          manis (sweet soy sauce) which is thicker          and sweeter.
A Recipe: Beef          Rendang
| Ingredients 6 cups coconut milk 2 salam leaves 2 lime leaves 1 turmeric leaf 1 cinnamon stick (3 cm) 1 lemongrass tick (10 cm) 15 cloves shallots 15 cloves garlic 1 piece of ginger (3 cm) 1 piece of galangal (3 cm) 1 nutmeg seed 2 tbs chilli paste 500g prime rump beef cut into 4 sq cm pieces (leave fat on) Salt to taste | Method Heat the coconut milk in an uncovered wok over a very low flame. Add the salem leaves, lime leaves, turmeric leaf, cinnamon stick and lemongrass (don't cut these up). Crush the shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal and nutmeg to a paste. For this you can use a food processor or a traditional Indonesian mortar and pestle. Add this paste, the chilli paste and the salt to the coconut milk. Once the ingredients are heated through, add the beef and leave to cook very slowly for about four hours. Once the coconut milk has been reduced to an oily paste that sticks to the meat it is ready. Rendang is very rich, so it's best served with lots of rice and other dishes. |

A friend sent me a list of supposedly highest paying keywords for  contextual advertising. I wonder is this true or whether this is just a  gimmick to make other people believe so... and me supporting the hype by  reproducing it here? For your amusement the partial list is at the end  of this article. (and don't be surprised if google actually serves you  those ads matching those keywords.)
Assuming that whoever produced this list is correct, by looking at  the  data one can tell that NY and Chicago lawyers are willing to pay a lot  of money to get a potential customer via online ads.
But can someone explain why mesothelioma is in the top rank? Is it  because people are afraid to get it? Or is it because many people have  it already?
Luckily Google doesn't allow porn ads, otherwise we would have been  drowning in nasty ads, which probably would have had the highest
 click rate ever.

Hoax Revealed
After receiving this list, I've googled for "Highest Paying Google AdSense Keywords" and apparently there is a lot of sites out there suggesting those words, most seem to concentrate on mesothelioma and lawyers but the prices seem to vary. I'm still puzzled how did they find out that information?OK, I think I've figured it out: many of those sites seem to be a hoax. The source seem to be coming from: hxxp://www.cwire.org/highest-paying-search-terms/, but it will just trick you into clicking on some auto-generated content. Bad boy. No cookie.
Further search reveals more sites advertising similar hoaxes. Oh well, the nature of the internet -- you get both: the good and the less good.
One forum (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2301) has suggested something that may give you an idea on the subject of keywords, but this thread is very dated. For example it suggests to go to http://www.google.com/adwords and try bidding at words and see which one come with a high price tag. Another user suggested to use Overture http://uv.bidtool.overture.com/d/USm/search/tools/bidtool/.
But even that thread concludes that those techniques don't really work and suggests:
You shouldn't be building pages for
AdSense. You should be putting
  AdSense ads on pages with lots of good content. Build the pages for
  the reader, optimize them for the Search Engines, then you will get
  visitors who are interested in the content and will be interested in
  the AdSense ads. That is how you get a good CTR and that is how you
  make money with AdSense.

CLOT X NBA力作 比卢普斯战靴锦袍上身牛气十足
首屈一指的联名合作
仔细解构 CLOT x adidas NBA 个中故事
TS CUT CREATOR 本身是一对属于控球后卫的鞋,所以你可以见到很多不同的颜色在上。控球后卫是球场上拿球机会最多的人,他更要把球从后场安全地带到前场,再把球传给其他队 友,这才有让其他人得分的机会,整个过程要求的不只的纯熟的技巧,很多时都要引起对方球员溷淆(confusion) ;Confusion = CLOTFUSION,因此这对CLOT 的TS CUT CREATOR 明名为TS CUT CREATOR CLOTFUSION。
TS COMMANDER LT CLOTARITY的Clotarity ,其实意思是CLARITY清楚,清晰的思维是在球场上不可缺少的东西,这是一双较大路的球鞋,所以我们选用最简单且端庄的颜色,以表达CLARITY 的意思。另外,在白色的皮革以特有的反光物料印上CLOT 专用的monogram 图桉,其实是想表达在球场上,必需的灵敏反射性。
要数球场上要引人入胜的事,必定是球员的拚博精神,这就是这两双球鞋背后的概念。今回的CLOT x adidas NBA 更特别邀到NBA 着名球星Chauncey Billups 拍摄了一段短片,讲述对TS CUT CREATOR CLOTFUSION的感觉。
由于这两双别有意义的球鞋为亚洲潮流先锋CLOT 的设计,因此JUICE 店铺会于全球率先在9月11日发售,绝对为亚太区一大盛事。事实上,这两双球鞋只是CLOT x adidas NBA 合作的开始,陆续推出的会有多款Tank Jersey ,这些都是潮牌中少见的产品,欲知最新详情,请留意CLOT的网站。另外,各篮球迷要留意快将在北京和台湾举行的NBA亚洲巡回表演赛。
