Day 55: Rujak Natsepa
Today, my taste buds had a beach party in Ambon. En route from a university meeting to a graduation ceremony, my hosts insisted on a stop at Natsepa beach to taste their famous hometown treat, Rujak Natsepa. It is really kind of inexplicable but a culinary explosion of tropical fruits combined with a freshly made paste of palm sugar, tamarind, chili, and ground peanuts. The taste is incredible, especially when combined with good company and view of the sea.
