Bu plate special

"Know what I miss?" said Chad about halfway through our U.S. trip.

"Breakfast at Bu Dena's!" I said without hesitation, because I was missing it too.


Bu Dena runs the little warung across the street. I'm hooked on her various sorts of hard-boiled eggs in sauce. I think I detect some nutmeg in this one, among other earthy flavors. Here you also have some carrots and a vegetable similar to zucchini, boiled in chicken stock, and some delicious little bits of tempeh fried with chopped chilis. There's also a generous dollop of fresh chili sauce hiding somewhere. Mmmmm.....
