What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was fascinated by Rawon, a dark beef soup made from the poisonous Keluak nut that requires 40 days of processing to become edible. He particularly enjoyed the 'pro move' of mixing the savory soup with the nutty peanut sauce of Nasi Pecel. He was also highly impressed by the speed and rhythmic style of a Lontong Balap vendor in Surabaya.
