Mediterranean cuisine is the cuisine of the areas around the Mediterranean sea. Fish Dishes are also common, although today much of the fish is imported since the fisheries of the Mediterranean sea are weak.

Indonesian Cuisine.

Indonesian cuisine is quite similar with Malaysian cuisine. It just the method of cooking and the ingredients that been used in the dishes makes them different. All of the dishes has been past down from generation to generation. Very famous with their Ayam Penyet (Smash Chicken) with accompanied by the super Spicy Sambal and with White Rice. But that's not what are we going to cook today. My classmate and I will be cooking 6 dishes.
