Food in Indonesia
We are considering taking this trip next summer and wondering how safe the food is in Indonesia? I have heard one needs to only eat food that has been cooked - in other words not salads or fruits. Similar to what we did in India. Is this true - anyone have any suggestions?
Sounds from the reviews to be a great trip!

Tauck only takes you to places where eating any food is safe plus apart from one hotel where you stay one night, they are all luxurious. We ate food that was not cooked. Tauck don’t want a group of people with food poisoning to deal with or they would not return.
Thanks for the insight! We did go with Tauck to India and all the Hotels were 5 star but still our tour director suggested we not eat any uncooked food - the food is grown there and water is not drinkable - thus we did not. The only one that did, got sick! My Dad used to travel to Indonesia for work for 12 years and his belief was to not eat anything uncooked and he also stayed at 5 star places. Just checking if anyone had issues and things have probably improved since the 1980's!! Thank you!
While food poisoning issues seem to happen quite a bit in India….i had a half day episode on that tour, but then the TD was ill with it and had to go to hospital for an IV. We were fine on the Singapore Bali tour, and as I said, ate all types of food. On the Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos tour, Tauck took us to a restaurant where Tarantulas were on the menu and quite a few, including my husband ate them. Tauck will tell you that all food prepared for Tauck guests on tours is safe to eat. It just does not make sense to be otherwise or they risk entire groups getting sick, not good if they want repeat customers.
