Spice level warning — Nasi Goreng is not what I expected
I underestimated Nasi Goreng. The rich and coconut-forward description didn't prepare me for the reality. coconut milk brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.
