Pecel / Vegetable Salads East Java Style

Pecel, Vegetarian Recipe:

On one of the longest vacations I had during my High Schools, I went on the long trip to Kepanjen, Malang. It is located in East of Java. I think the train trip was 2 days long at that time. I visited my cousin there. It was beautiful, peacefull and very-very quite.
One day she asked me to go on the bike ride. From her house to go to the pavement road was about 4 mile long. Finally... nice ride. She took me to get breakfast. This family have a food stall for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The breakfast that was so famous called "Sego Pecel" or Nasi Pecel or Rice and Pecel. It was delicious... slurpiiih!!! Hopefully my recipe is close enough. "Sugeng dahar..."

Chef's Note While you are eating this, picture a scenery of rice field, cool weather, the water buffalo pulling the wooden sleigh followed by the rice farmer and the duck noises surrounded the places. Then suddenly you hear everybody laughing and you were screaming and running for your life. Because you were to close to nature and pick the wrong place to sit and the small komodo (Biawak) was there, starring at you. Of course I ran as fast as I could. The people there get used to these giant gecko slashed lizard slashed reptile slashed I don't like any of these creature. Not to mention, at night this 10 inches gecko (tokek) that only comes out at night and start to sing "tok-kek... tok-kek... tok-kek..." All night long. Some people find this creature beautiful, but not me.
