Recommendations on food stalls this one I got from one of the original inhabitants of Madura, knowing this was the first time to the second I walk into the island of Madura, so not very familiar with the ins and outs of the culinary riches of this city. Location stalls Amboina is not too difficult to find, located in the northern Great Mosque Bangkalan and about 20 meters before the red light. Especially in front of the stalls there is a board bearing the name of the mother’s Amboina stall plus photo shop owner along with culinary master pack Bondan Indonesia and Surya Saputra the host Culinary Collection. Amboina stall has been initiated since 1965, and now continued by the third generation, Mr. Abdul Latif.

Because it is still blind to the special dish from this stall the proposal by the father of Abdul Latif I ordered a rice paste are a mainstay here. The story got a story that turned out to be a favorite visitor here is the menu of rice paste and rice mix. Initially there were only rice paste menu, but it was created following the customer’s request also menus rice mix. Fields of rice paste and mix actually the same, the difference is in the rice mix rawon given additional sauce. Each order will be recorded with the visitors on a chalk board behind the cashier, if already paid then the writing will soon be deleted. A unique way to record each order of the visitors.

Amboina stall has room that could be considered small and slightly elongated to the rear, all models unspoiled interior design shop earlier times but still maintained and tidy. If the shop was crowded visitors are guaranteed a bumper like a gang, because there are only two tables are elongated and attached on both sides of the walls of this shop, makes a passing visitor can not help nudge other visitors. Shop opening hours are also quite early, namely at 6 in the morning until half past 4 pm, but often at 1 pm all the menus have been sold out.

Dish of rice paste are shown in table I, contains white rice with side dishes of glass noodles, soy sauce, empal, liver (lung could be asked to be replaced fried), beef stew, eggs, and doused with a little gravy sauce opportunistic and do not miss Madura. Taste of the fusion dishes is quite fitting and invites appetite that I actually still full but could not resist the delicacy of rice offered this paste. Madura sauce here is also quite different from the Javanese-style sauce that I normally eat. If I am not mistaken, this sauce is made only from raw materials sauce and salt, so that the sauce is served here is quite dry, spicy and salty. Together with the accompanying sauce served at my favorite hero monument fried duck.

After a serving of rice paste has been successfully moved from plate to my stomach, then the question arises “Where is the petis??” Because of that I usually see is a paste made of shrimp paste and dark colored, while the menu is light-colored rice paste. Finally I managed to obtain an explanation from Mr. Abdul Latif is, that the paste used here is a paste made of tuna, so the color is different from other paste-paste and cooked in gravy sauce which I initially thought opportunistic. Culinary tourism is quite unique and I will add to knowledge of culinary diversity of Indonesia.

Indonesia and the culinary universe in this country should be proud of, because, rendang, beef dishes with a traditional flavor of West Sumatra became world champion and became the most delicious food on the global highway.

based on the CNN survey that followed more than 35,000 people from around the world, crowned rendang as the most delicious food on earth.

Two other Indonesian dishes are included in the ranks of the world’s most delicious food is fried rice in a position to second, and sate in the position to 14. 50 best food in the world.

Apparently, a note about Indonesian cuisine does not stop there, the CNN page Go also includes a list of 40 best food in Indonesia, describe, and introduce it to the world.

“Once the reader chooses the most delicious rendang as food in the world, we think, it’s time to give confidence in the Indonesian cuisine to be the center of attention,” is posted on a site like CNN.

CNN also lure readers with an introduction, that the Indonesian cuisine includes noodles, marinated super delicious sauce, curry that tastes spicy kick, fish wrapped in banana leaves aka Pepes, salad greens with sweet peanut sauce – which we know as gado-gado or pecel. “Chili, martabak, rendang. If you can read this list without the drool, drool. That means, you’re better than us. “

CNN page also includes a number of restaurants in Jakarta recommended to enjoy the kitchen secrets of the archipelago, which presents a typical Indonesia cuisine.

Although not intended to rank the best cuisine in the first sequence is the sauce. Who knows how many chili recipes exist in Indonesia, possibly hundreds, it could be because each area must have a condiment, respectively, with tastes different also, other regions, and other spices are also used. Even spices are the ‘mandatory’ in the Indonesian diet. The cool term is “Eat without the sauce does not kick”.

Rendang is a traditional Indonesian cuisine, made from beef that is cooked slowly with spices such as lemongrass, galangal, chilies, coconut milk, onion, garlic, turmeric and other spices complement. Rendang is served at ceremonial occasions such as Eid or other religious custom event. But now rendang can be enjoyed every day because it has many restaurants pasture or eating houses serving rendang.

Meatballs and fried rice are also included in the first list of five dishes. As is known, American President, Barack Obama come to be ‘ambassadors’ Indonesian cuisine, when calling balls and fried rice as his favorite food while living in Indonesia, as the ‘Son of Menteng’.

But there are interesting from Indonesia 40 foods that are promoted CNN go, namely Indomie, the only food packaging that exist in the sequence.

But even so the top and become a king of the culinary universe, Indonesia still less the amount of food with food from Thailand, is heavily promoting tourism, including culinary, is certainly due to maximum support from the government. I hope the government can further give special attention to the culinary, culinary Indonesia, in order to more global again.

Indonesian society may not have been too familiar with Filipino food. In fact, if we trace, a lot of Filipino dishes that are unique. In fact, there are some of their food that is quite extreme.

Like Indonesia, the Philippines is one of an archipelago in the tropical south-eastern Asia. That’s what makes Filipino cuisine is essentially not much different materials with Indonesian cuisine.
