I ordered this Indonesian dish on the open second floor reception and dining area of the Hotel Bali Panama. After ordering, I smelled garlic wafting from the kitchen. The soup was chicken broth containing cabbage, celery with leaves, carrot, ground chicken steamed meatballs, and the key to it all: finely sliced garlic sautéed until almost, but not quite, burned. A little vermicelli rice noodle floated in the broth, and the vegetables were al dente. The broth had soy sauce in it and maybe also a little fish sauce. I ate this delicious soup, in a little town in Panama, surrounded by artworks from Bali. Location: Hotel Bali Panama, Chitre, Herrera Province, Panama. Date: November 23, 2013.

Thanks, Christy, it really was delicious. What made it noteworthy for me was that it was an Indonesian dish that I was enjoying in Panama.
