I have never seen swiss chard in Bali, supermarkets or traditional markets but I have seen spinachs in Bintang supermarket although quite expensive!!!
Overcoming poverty is no a gesture of charity is an act of justice the protection of a fundamental human right to dignity..

If after eating, you can vanquish enemies worry, and atomic mussles develop by magic then yes it is spinach.

Where I live, Bali.
I am not aware of any Indonesian dish that uses it.
Grows wild in the wet gullies on the foothills here. In fact a very basic swimming pool opened near Glenmore a few years ago. They'd dammed a gully, tiled the pool (except for a few protruding boulders) and created a rudimentary filtration system at the intake area above the pool. In the gully below the pool where the overflow exited (no recycling using pump - just straight in and out) the water cress was a foot and a half high and lush. I've heard that it only grows where the water is pretty damn clean so that pool was a favourite until it was further developed. And the water was cooooold!
Glenmore - now there's a good Indonesian name for a town. Not to mention PT Glenfalloch which operates nearby.
Water cress is available in the pasars around here and used mainly in wet dishes - sort of soups.
