Nasi Padang is a cuisine that originated in Sumatra and now could be found in small cafes and stands throughout Bali. It involves a large number of foods precooked and placed on plates or trays. You select which items to set at top of a plate of steamed rice with a coconut-milk based curry sauce to pour over it. Typical Padang food choices include roasted chicken, spiced beef, boiled eggs, sauteed leafy green vegetables, potato, fish cooked in spicy sauces and steamed jackfruit.
