As strange as it looks, the Blue Turkey by Indonesian restaurant Rumah Rasa is actually quite palatable. That’s because it’s stuffed with Indonesia’s favourite instant noodles Indomie, then braised in blue butterfly pea (which is how it obtains its bright neon blue hue) before being roasted till tender in the oven. Available as in the buffet at $48++ per pax (Lunch Buffet) or $68++ per pax (Dinner Buffet).
