Mid-week 'merican redux!
Posted by marshall Thu, 14 Apr 2005 08:33:00 GMT
For this week's Acehnese-version-of-American-food experience, we got hamburgers from a local stand. Tom and I each got the "special". This has many of the ingredients one would expect: a beef patty (or some kind of meat, at least), cheese, lettuce, and tomato. It also had a few ingredients one doesn't normally find at the local American burger shop: sliced cucumber, Acehnese hot sauce, and a fried egg.
That's Tom eagerly devouring his very own spicy egg burger. As with KFC, Tom and I found the local twist to be quite palatable. We also tried one of the more exotic (to our minds) drinks here: avocado juice. This is a blend of avocado, Milo, Nescafé, and milk. It actually tastes a lot like a chocolate-banana milkshake. It was recommended by David (one of our guards), as it's his favorite drink:
Oddly enough, out of the juices I've had here, it's probably the only one I'd order again.
I just had to tell you that I like reading your posts, so please keep posting them. And I can't believe you like avocado juice. I'll have to try it when I get there. :-)
