Cai bao

This afternoon I had a nice treat by my student. Cindy, my student, persuaded me into eating cai bao with her, and it tasted spicy and yummy!

Cai Bao, it is steamed bun with vegetables (carrots, beans, water chestnuts and more) inside! I used to buy one cai bao for Rp 1000 ( 1000= 1 dime in US dollar), then now I know that 3 cai bao is Rp 5000 (5 dimes in US dollar). So, 1 US dollar we can get 6 cai bao. Still cheap, yet, yummy! In this picture, it was three cai bao, the seller cut them off with scissors to make it easier to be eaten.
