Bland meals in-transit to Jakarta

I've been looking forward to my trip to Jakarta for a while. The food there is so amazing and I love the different tropical fruits that they have. Everything is different there.

But so far, I've had to endure the most blah vegetarian meal - I think people they were trying to play it safe or something but oh my gosh a little imagination goes a long way.

For dinner, the "vegetarian meal" was actually a few sliced boiled new potatoes and steamed squash. I was soooo hungry too and disappointed I tried to take a bite of a potato but just couldn't stand the blandness. I inquired if they had any extra Indian meals and luckily after three times asking (three times always the charm) I got one and oh was it so much better.
