Intro
It was sunny monday mornin' when I step my feet on the ground. This Monday, 18th August 2008 was a holiday! Well, I planned to take a look around Gading Serpong's traditional market. They have a modern - traditional market, so I heard.

From the very beginning Indonesia had been known for the abundant species, such as pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, which were favoured by Europeans.

Centuries of contact with other great civilisations especially Indian, Arab, Chinese and European has added distinctive touch to Indonesian culinary art.
