The Indo food I've had hasn't been too hot, but some dishes are hotter than others. I notice that Indonesians also tend to like sweet flavours, like their peanut-based satay sauce and gado gado are kind of sweet.

Not as sweet as Malaysian Malays food however (even the sambal paste there is sweet and not spicy), whether its sweet or saltish really depends on which province or towns you go, for example the food in Surabaya or Yogya usually are sweeter while not as much in Semarang. Balinese food aren't actually that spicy compared to the other parts of Indonesia, Padang food too unless you really knows where you are going, Manado and Batak is the best one.

Yes the sambal I've had at both Malay and Indonesian places has been pretty sweet, tangy and spicy.

Yes Balinese food isn't that hot, it also has more pork of course. Sure is delicious. I wonder why there aren't more Balinese restaurants in Australia considering how many go there.

Because the skill are limited to the Balinese and the tropical spices ingredients, such as shredded coconut, lemon grass, cloves, etc. It might be available in Australia but took extra effort to find it.

Huh? really the sambal in Indonesia usually are made salty not sweet (or bitter if i eat Padang food), hardly i encounter sweet sambal in my lifetime.. the salty one i tried in Malaysia is sambal belacan which to me is a too strong, Indonesian version is sambal terasi which tend to be less stronger in flavor and more enjoyable to me.
