Right away I knew this box would be super amazing! It was large and heavy! Opening up the protective bag wrapping I saw the beautiful slip cover on the box telling me that my Food Trip To… was all about Indonesia! The slip cover was decorated in stunning Indonesian art and cultural symbols. It was so eye catching, I didn’t even care what was inside, I knew I would love it…and I did!
Each Food Trip To… Box comes with information cards telling you where you are off to this month.
I was told that I will be making a Balinese BBQ, and additional cards described each item in my box along with a very descriptive recipe card and photo the food I will be making.
Drink- Sari Asam Jawa (Tamarind Juice)
Appetizer – Bakwan Jagung (Corn Fritters)
Main Dish – Sate Sapi dan Sambal Kecap (Beef Kebabs and Chili-Spiked Soy Sauce)
Dessert – Pisang Nanas Bakar dan Saus Kinca (Pan-Friend Fruit Drizzled with Palm Sugar Sauce)
This box is so detailed! It comes with a grocery check list, helpful tips for preparing the Balinese BBQ, and an ingredient and nutritional fact sheet. They have also included a vegetarian and alcoholic variations on the recipe cards. Wow! They are really making my life fun and easy!
To really enhance your Indonesian experience, they have included some facts about the country, such as population statistics, health of the region, cuisine, religion, society, and geography. As well as, a fun multiple choice quiz about country.
On the reverse side of the cards there are some suggestions for Indonesian movies to watch while enjoying the tamarind juice. Then, of course, with learning all about the country how could we not learn a few common words and expressions.
This box would be great for a dinner party with friends!
And our meal is served…delicious!!!
Verdict: This box had me hooked right from the packaging on and it did not disappoint at all! It was packed with food, fun and lots of information about Indonesia. Our family was immersed in the culture of a new country and we all learned so much! My daughter loves learning all about the world and the different countries, this box was perfect! The box was so fun that we never even thought about it being educational. This box is the next greatest thing to actually traveling to Indonesia. A great way to taste and enjoy this wonderful world we live in!
