Farm Plate is a hearty and flavorful Indonesian-inspired platter that offers a satisfying variety of protein and starches, perfect for those craving a well-rounded, diverse meal. This dish brings together tender, savory beef paired with crispy potatoes, succulent chicken sate skewers glazed in rich peanut sauce, and a portion of sweet soy-marinated pork known locally as babi kecap. Each element is carefully prepared to showcase bold Indonesian flavors while providing a comforting and filling dining experience that highlights the best of traditional and street food favorites.
The beef and potato portion typically features tender cuts of beef cooked to juicy perfection, often paired with golden, crispy potato cubes or wedges. The beef may be slow-cooked or stir-fried with spices, creating a rich and savory base that complements the hearty potatoes, which add texture and a satisfying bite. The chicken sate skewers are marinated in a fragrant blend of garlic, shallots, coriander, and sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), then grilled to achieve a smoky, caramelized exterior. These skewers are traditionally served with a creamy, slightly sweet peanut sauce that adds depth and richness to the tender chicken pieces.
Completing the plate is babi kecap—pork marinated and simmered in a luscious sweet soy sauce that gives it a glossy, sticky finish with a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors. The pork is tender and flavorful, with a hint of caramelization from the marinade. Together, these components create a harmonious meal with varied textures and layers of taste: the hearty beef and potatoes, the smoky, saucy chicken sate, and the sweet, succulent pork. Served with steamed rice or lontong (compressed rice cakes) and fresh garnishes like sliced cucumbers or fried shallots, the Farm Plate 2 Beef Potato 2 Chicken Sate 1 Babi offers a rich and satisfying feast that celebrates Indonesia’s vibrant culinary traditions in one satisfying dish.
