Rendang

hai blogger!

it has been long time that i didn't post anything here. actually, i had much idea to post. but, i don't know why that i feel so don't have any spirit for blogging among this week << just forget it --"

ah, i just wanna say "Happy Eid Mubaraq" all. although it's too late, but never mind. it still in Syawal month, rite? :D 

oke, this time i wanna talking about "Rendang". and i guess that all of you knew about this food, rite? anybody didn't know this food?? how poor you are :p

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. Also popular in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the southern Philippines and southern Thailand, rendang is traditionally prepared by the Indonesian community during festive occasions. Culinary experts often describe rendang as: 'West Sumatra caramelized beef curry'. Though rendang is sometimes described as being like a curry, and the name is sometimes applied to curried meat dishes in Malaysia, authentic rendang is nothing like a curry. In 2011 an online poll by 35,000 people held by CNN International chose Rendang as the number one dish of their 'World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods' list. (cr: wikipedia)

well, as Indonesian people, specially Minangkabau's people, i felt so proud! how could you didn't feel proud when you knew that all people around the world make ur traditional food as the number one dish in the world! how amazing it is!

by the way, i made rendang a few days ago (at fasting month). actually i never try to made it before. but, my mother asked me to made it, then. however, it wasn't my receipt actually. my mom take all the flavor that we need to made rendang. and then, i just ground all of this :p
