Snippet:
Scan the menu of almost any Indonesian restaurant in Melbourne, and the outlines are familiar: nasi goreng, rendang and satay are among a small cluster of dishes that have long shaped how the cuisine is understood in our city. But a growing number of venues are widening that frame by focusing on how people in Indonesia actually eat, shifting attention from individual dishes to the formats and rituals that shape them.
