But this time I replaced the white rice with cauliflower rice and served it with grilled salmon and tabbouleh salad. Continue Reading

But sadly the environmental damage caused by excessive exploitation of marine products, industrial waste, and not liable tourism business make the fresh and nutritious seafood isn’t affordable anymore for some of the Indonesian people.
