Indonesian Embassy
by RoyJava
The Indonesian Embassy at The Hague reminds me of my very first official exhibition a few years ago. Painting a Javanese legendary subject (the Spirit-queen of the Southern Ocean) it was an honour to show the paintings all together on "Indonesian" territory, in the Gallery Nusantara Room. 4 Dutch Artists expressed their passion for Indonesia, each with their own vision, style and interpretation.
"FASCINATING INDONESIA" was a unique exhibition indeed ... The Indonesian Embassy is known as "The Villa", and is founded from high architectural interest ... the area is a reposeful place not that far from the center and close to Laan van Meerdervoort. It is located in The Hague at

Delicious Java Food
by RoyJava
Actually this topic had to be placed at "Restaurants", but I donot want to fool you. This is about "Babi Guling", the originally roasted "sucking-pig" on charcoal. It is famous from Javanese Gianyar, and on Bali it is served, too. When never tried before you have to attempt ... for once in your life time ... So ... this was a private happening, because of the opening of a house. And the presentation of one of my paintings! The Lady of the House prepared the Babi Guling in a wonderful, original way, just like on Java and Bali. Fresh ginger, cloves, asem (tamarind), garlics, turmeric, nutmegs, sereh (lemon grass), trasi (dried shrimp pasta), cardamoms, lombok (chili pepper), onions, black peppercorns, salt, pepper, sugar... all she had added, so a BRAVO for this party food time, and such a wonderful memory !!!
I could not keep back this pic from you ... :)))
