I remembered the first time I read cooking recipes in English I had problems with the herbs part because there are just so many and they're in English. I couldn't find any translation to it in Bahasa and the information was limited. But nowadays everything is so simple "just Google it" they say. And to make things easier for those of you who are just too lazy to search, I have it here. It's not complete but I'll continue to add in when I can.
