At Le Meridien in Jakarta (unusual architecture for both Jakarta {well, that part of the city} and a Le Meridien), I'd stock up on eggplant/avocado/olives liberally drowned in olive oil, oh and shrimp, and the next course was whipped cream and blueberry pancakes. Things I yearn for from home; though eggplants and avocados are all over Jakarta (and the former in many regional Indonesian cuisines), it had that grilled Turkish accent which wasn't commonplace. Pancakes, well, maybe at a colonial Dutch restaurant...but then, they wouldn't be the HUGE pannekoek found in Holland either.
