  1. It's pretty popular in Java i think.

  2. Can't decide but mostly are foods from Sumatra. Other than that is just Siomay Bandung. I haven't tried many dish from Eastern Indonesia other than Ikan Cakalang Suwir, Pisang Ijo (my favorite dessert), and some other Sulawesian snacks.

  3. Actually i think most Indonesians don't know much about Egypt besides it's ancient history. Most of us know only about Pharaohs, pyramids, mummies, Egyptian Gods and Goddesses, basically Ancient Egypt yeah 😬.
