but I believe this too. Never really get problems any more but usually eat Indonesian food including a lot of warung food and no problem. In the past any problems I had, as near as you can guess, were from hotel food or as you say Western food. I think some places over estimate the power of a refrigerator on how long food will keep!
Another weird belief of mine is that chilli and garlic in copious amounts help too.
That's aside from the obvious hand washing thing.
