Fabulous fusion food

Nasi Goreng is a world-famous Indonesian cuisine. Nasi means rice, Goreng means fried, so it's kind of like Fried Rice often served with an egg sunny-side up. When I ordered a Nasi Goreng at an ocean view restaurant in Negombo, Sri Lanka, it served with Papadums instead of shrimp-flavored Southeast Asian crackers named Krupuk. So, the photo shows sort of a fusion dish. It looks like Sri Lankan fried rice, but taste was different because of the spice. Papadum is kind of like Sri Lankan cracker. It's crisp and tasty. Sri Lankan locals like to shatter Papadums into small pieces with their right hand and mix them with rice.
