Byron,

My roommate prepared an Indonesian satay
or sate babi last night (again) and it is one super 
dish: barbecued skewered pork basted with and 
served under a ground peanut, soy sauce, onion, 
coriander, garlic sauce and rice.

We ate it accompanied with beer. My question is 
what brand beer would have likely been drunk 
with this dish in Indonesia? Maybe San Miguel 
from the Philipines? 

And most Indonesians are Moslems who are
not supposed to eat pork or drink alcohol. Are
these prohibitions ignored or is the dish only
eaten by non-Moslems?
