Where it comes from
Nasi campur simply means mixed rice in Indonesian and Malay, so it has no inventor. It grew out of the everyday way of eating across the islands, rice with several small dishes cooked separately, and became the standard at warungs, where you point at trays behind glass. Every region has its own version, from Bali and Java to Malaysia and Singapore.
