Title: Fresh Catch of the Day Caption:Fish is a huge part of Indonesian dishes. One of the dishes we were learning to cook was called Mangut Ikan, battered fish served in a spicy coconut broth with greens and tomatoes. This woman offered a variety of types of fish and filleted the fish right in front of your eyes.

Title: Fresh uncompromised
Caption: This picture shows a young woman cutting open a coconut that she would pass off to be shaved in a machine behind her. We witnessed the entire process and them purchased a bag of the freshest coconut you could possibly get. Freshness is not compromised in Indonesia for convenience. We used this fresh coconut to make our own coconut milk, which we used, for our Mangut Ikan as well as to steam rice in for a traditional coconut rice dish.
