Food, What we all like

The last post on this site was about a genocide and terrible atrocities that was/is committed by humans against humans.

For eyewash, I am giving you sweetness in this post. Instead of the traditional conflict ridden posts, this is about the unique culture that our civilization has. Everything from food and... food....
Some cultures are "underrated" and I will show you some culture and tradition that will probably make you hungry, read at your own risk.

Let us start, shall we?

This time, our country is Indonesia

Indonesia is an archipelago that consist of more than 15,000 island, although the majority of the population only reside in 4 biggest islands.

The cuisine
Unlike Japanese and Chinese cuisine, Indonesian cuisine is not generally well known to the world. Some cuisines that Indonesian eat on daily basis. Indonesia is a country where a lot of rice is eaten, and guess what? Their cuisine is heavily based from rice and other homegrown foodstuffs.

"Nasi Goreng" literally fried rice, is an example of food from Indonesia. It can be served from simple roadside stall to 5 class restaurant. It is made by frying rice with some cooking oil and typically spiced with sweet soybean sauce, garlic and some chili and accompanied by other ingredients such as egg, shrimps, chicken and so on. You can put just about anything.

Where fried rice is originally from is actually disputed, but Indonesian eats it a lot at least...
Anything is technically a fried rice as long it has fried rice...

Rendang is a spicy meat dish which originated from the Minangkabau ethnic group of Indonesia, and is now commonly served across the country.One of the characteristic foods of Minangkabau culture, it is served at ceremonial occasions and to honour guests. Rendang usually consist of biff soaked with usually garlic, coconut milk, lemongrass and chili. After the contents are mixed, the meat is ready to be slow cooked for many many hours. It is usually cooked until the "soup" is gone and is leaving a dry meat left. If cooked properly, rendang is able to last as long as a month.
