Breakfast at the base camp of Mt. Rinjani (2700m) under the warm hospitality of Guide Aduk and team from Rinjani Trekking Club.
With the cold mountain wind blowing, we were pleasantly surprised with this warm bowl of soto ayam prepared kindly by Aduk and his team. Thick soup with the fragrance of coconut milk, full of vegetables, and even chicken and egg, it's truly a wondeful experience enjoying soto ayam among the mountains.
It is in places like these when food truly fills more than your stomach.
Lunch on the mountains with Guide Aduk from Rinjani Trekking Club.
It's no easy feat to get this meal. Since there's no cooking facilities or transport available on the mountains, the local porters had to carry everything required to prepare this meal, including the ingredients, utensils, even a gas stove (!), in baskets which they carried over their backs while trekking across the savanna and up the slopes with us. Perhaps its the amount of effort required to prepare the meal, or that we really worked up a good appetite, this simple meal of fresh nasi campur rarely tastes as good.
Freshly fried keropok, toufu, tempeh, and chicken, with a delicious mix of sweet & savoury stir fried potatoes, carrots, cabbage, vegs, and egg. Thank you Aduk and team, for the food and assistance, for sure you will be missed.
