Then this type of culinary began to enter Indonesia in the 10th century at the peak of the Srivijayan kingdom which also became the center of trade. People from mainland China also influenced because rice is also a staple food in the Kingdom.
In the Dutch colonial era fried rice also became a popular food loh, this can be proven from the song titled 'Geef Mij Maar Nasi Goreng' was written by a Dutch woman named Louisa Johanna Theodora 'Wieteke' van Dort who is familiarly called Tante Lien in 1979. He was born in Surabaya in 1943, and at the age of 14, lives in The Hague to this day.

But especially with crazy fried rice you can only get it at street stalls and at night.
This time I tried to taste one of the roadside stalls that sell a variety of night food menu, namely Nasi Goreng Gila Ainun Jaya 99. In addition to selling fried rice, they also sell fried kwiteau, fried noodles, boiled noodles and fried vermicelli. This is my husband's subscription stall, currently the cook is the 2nd generation.
I ordered 1 pack of crazy fried rice with spicy taste. Crazy fried rice is made with the same seasoning as regular fried rice, only the filling is the difference. Called crazy fried rice because it is a variation of fried rice this one has mixed stuffing that can make 'crazy'.
If you usually eat fried rice with only one filling option such as chicken fried rice or meatball fried rice or sausage fried rice, this one mixes the whole stuffing into one dish. Namely fried rice cooked with chicken stuffing, ati ampela, meatballs, sausages, squid, shrimp, eggs, mushrooms, and various types of vegetables such as caisim, cabbage, mustard, and others. The portion can also be doubled more than the usual portion of fried rice. Crazy!
This crazy fried rice is delicious to eat in hot and warm conditions. Different if we eat at padang restaurant, the food menu is ready to eat, here fried rice must be cooked in advance according to the number of orders desired so you order freshly cooked by the merchant.
