Indonesian Food Blog List

Indonesia is a great country with around 13.600 islands stretched along the equator. But despite its culinary richness, little is still known about true Indonesian culinary potential. Beside of the general interest in Indonesia as holiday and vacation destination, and lack of efforts to promote Indonesian food on international landscape, language is often the major barrier, since most websites presenting information on Indonesian food is done in Bahasa Indonesia itself; practically alienated the rest of the world. This is why the world knows better about Malaysian food, Singaporean food, Thailand and Philippine food compared to Indonesian food, since most of websites on those nation's food are done in English.

But despite that common condition, some people find it worth their time to spread the news about Indonesian culinary to the global world audience, just like myself. At these websites, you will find information, experience, taste notes, photographs, and even recipes of how to create the most famous Indonesian dishes. For your convenience, I have gathered some of those websites and list them here; all of them are in English.

On the first part, I listed the major Indonesian food blogs on Food Creation for those who are curious about Indonesian cuisine and how to create them. On the second part, I listed the major Indonesian food blogs on Food Experience for those who curious about eating experience of Indonesian food, or in Indonesian eateries. On the last part, I listed some Indonesian food blogs on Food Recipes for those who would like to go straight to create the experience for themselves. List are sorted loosely by popularity according to Alexa.

If you happen to know any other websites that fits into the listed categories, kindly please inform me as I will update this list from time to time.
