Java’s Indonesian Meals ready to Heat & Eat now available in our Farm Shop!
Daniar Robinson has recently opened her gorgeous Indonesian Restaurant in town - Java Braidwood.
We absolutely loved our dinner out at Java Braidwood, and Daniar asked if we would like her meals available to sell in our Farm Shop and Cafe!
We now have:
Beef Rendang, Tofu Rendang, Sweet & Sour Pineapple Barramundi, Nasi Goreng and simple Jasmine Rice available here.
If you’re staying at Saddle Camp, live nearby, or you’re looking for a delicious, healthy dinner that can be tucked away in the freezer for a quick meal after horse riding - then this is a great option.
I’ve made links to each of the meals so you can see the ingredients.
Also, I’m really excited at how it fits in with our “Taste of Braidwood” experience. I know it draws a long bow, but it fits in beautifully with the origin story of the indigenous tribes that originally lived here.
I read in Jackie French’s book “Let the Land Speak” that the current theory of the original Australian inhabitants is that about 60,000 years ago there was a lot of volcanic upheaval happening around Indonesia.
Jackie wrote a beautiful story about one of the women in a tribe on the coast in Indonesia gathering her remaining community after a tsunami had washed through their village, and a volcano had erupted inland, and suggesting that they take their boats and row South.
She’d noticed birds travelling in that direction and was convinced there was a safe land mass in that direction.
Just three families were brave enough to trust her instincts, and they rowed through the day, night and another day.
It coincides with the last ice age, so the Indian Ocean wasn’t as wide as it is today.
She wore a necklace of seeds around her neck, bringing the means of producing familiar food with them to get them started in their new home.
About 20,000 years later, their descendants slowly migrated further south, to Braidwood and beyond.
Java Restaurant brings all those famous Indonesian ingredients and flavours together, making these meals healthy, delicious AND an experience of our local History.
PLUS
The beef is holistically raised at Jillamatong Farm (Martin Royds’ farm - famed for his biodynamic, hydrating the landscape, and building soil farming systems). For more of his details - google search Jillamatong Martin Royds. There were too many videos and articles for me to choose from!
AND some of the meals are Gluten Free, Nut Free and Dairy Free.
Easy for Vegans :)
