英文原版对话1000个:855 Indonesian Food

Todd: Ivan, we are talking about your country, Indonesia. Can you recommend three Indonesian foods for people that visit your country?

Ivan: Ooh, that can be a difficult question because we have lots of variety of foods and it depends on your taste. I mean, if you like sweet foods we have a specialty¹ for that and if you like spicy² food also there’s a specialty for that, salty, anything, anything you want. But usually people go for… OK, first is Nasi Goreng. Nasi Goreng is a fried rice and I think it’s quite popular anywhere else in the world if it goes for… if you want to promote Indonesian food. Yeah…

Todd: It’s called Nasi Goreng?

Ivan: Nasi Goreng, yeah. Nasi is rice, goreng is fry.

Todd: Oh, really?

Ivan: So it’s fried rice.

Todd: Nasi Goreng.

Ivan: And then next one is Mi Goreng. Mi goreng is noodles. It’s fried noodles, Mi and goreng. Mi is noodles and goreng is fry, yeah.

Todd: OK, so Mi Goreng and Nasi Goreng.

Ivan: Yeah, and last one is maybe Satay.

Todd: Oh, I think we call it Satay.

Ivan: Yeah, Satay, yeah.

Todd: But you say it differently.

Ivan: Yeah, Satay.

Todd: You say it Satay also?

Ivan: Yeah, Satay.

Todd: OK, and that’s mainly chicken on a stick right?

Ivan: Chicken, you can go for chicken, you can go for meat, you can go for mutton, anything, liver, anything. And we usually have some kind of special sauce, or ketchup³ or whatever, like mixed with some weird⁴ stuff but… basically it’s ketchup, chili⁵, and salt and some ginger⁶ or whatever. Sometimes it’s garlic and you just dip it inside and you eat it and it’s really nice.

Todd: Oh that sounds really good.
