Nasi Uduk on SQ Econ Class

The flight attendant told me that one of the brunch choices on this short two hour flight to Bali was something called nasi uduk, or as she described it, coconut rice with spicy fish. The alternate was an omelette, so I figured that I'd give the local dish a shot.

I immediately regretted it after opening it up. Even though it was similar to nasi lemak with the rice and the sweet-spicy sauce, the fishy stench and cake-like squares just reminded me of otak otak, a fishy paste-cake that always invokes a bad reaction from me. A lot of people seem to like it, but I could barely take another bite before giving up.
