Traditional Food
Padang food
is the cuisine of the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra,
Indonesia.
It is among the most popular food in Maritime Southeast Asia. It is known
across Indonesia as Masakan Padang
(Padang cuisine, in English
usually the simpler Padang food)
after the city of Padang
the capital city of West Sumatra province.It is served in restaurants opened by Minangkabau people in Indonesian cities.
Padang food is ubiquitous in Indonesian cities and is popular in neighboring Malaysia bandSingapore.
The term "Padang food" is often used to designate the whole culinary
traditions of Minangkabau people. However, this term is seldom used in
Minangkabau inland cities such as Bukittinggi
— a culinary hotspot in West Sumatra where they refer to it as Masakan Minang or Minangkabau food,
since there are differences between Nasi Padang
of Padang and Nasi kapau
of Bukittinggi.
Padang food is famous for its rich taste of succulent coconut milk
and spicy chili. Among the cooking traditions in Indonesian cuisine, Minangkabau cuisine and
most of Sumatran
cuisine, demonstrate Indian and Middle Eastern influences, with dishes
cooked in curry
sauce with coconut milk and the heavy use of spices mixture.
Because most Minangkabau people are muslims,
Minangkabau cuisine follows halal dietary law rigorously. Protein intakes are mostly taken
from beef, water buffalo, goat, lamb meat, and poultry and fish. Minangkabau
people are known for their fondness of cattlemeatproducts including affal. Almost all the
parts of a cattle, such as meat, ribs, tongoe, tail, liver,tripe, brain, bone marrow,
spleen, intestine,cartilage, tendon,
and skinare made to be Minangkabau delicacies. Seafood is popular in coastal West
Sumatran cities, and most are grilled or fried with spicy chili sauce or in
curry gravy. Fish, shrimp, and cuttlefish are cooked in similar fashion. Most
of Minangkabau food is eaten with hot steamed rice or compressed rice such as katupek (ketupat).
