Pepes is very similar to Thai aeb, but it’s the Indonesian version of an
assortment of fish, meat or tofu, mixed with lots of healthy herbs and
spices, wrapped in a banana leaf package, and either steamed or grilled.
Originally a Sundanese food from the Western part of Java, some of
the most common versions of pepes include chicken, different types of fish,
tofu, or mushrooms, mixed with shallots, garlic, chilies,
turmeric, candlenut, and lemon basil. What I love so much is that the
ingredients, since they are all wrapped in a banana leaf and cooked, all
mesh together really well, but also the banana leaf gives an extra green
essence to whatever is cooked inside.

wish by Dionysus, the god of wine.

into pure gold.
