A more diversity of food from Java. (S.E.P 3)

So today, i am getting a little bored, so i thought to myself, about what i am going to do. And so the idea of updating my blog is the answer i think. So lets get into the topic here. So, for most people from the outside of Indonesia, some of them must be familliar with the food Rendang from Padang, West Sumatra. Well today i am going to tell you that in the Island of Java especially Bandung have alot of traditional food that i think you should tried and that is :

1.Soto
This one of a kind cuisine have a lot of taste depend on the wherebouts, like in Kudus or Semarang, their type of Soto are Sweet and particularly had a yellow stew (after being mixed with soy sauce are brown.) So even this charateristics of this cuisine there are still a lot i did of stuff i didint mentioned because there are so much just to tell like the Soto Betawi from Jakarta uses a variety kind of cows organs like their tongue and other stuff, also the Semarang one they had a variety of side this in it like satay, oyster, and others. For Bandung their soto uses white radish as their main indrigient. There are just to many stuff that could be explored.

2.Pecel
Pecel is a traditional food that comes from Java. Their main indrigients are spicy peanut sauce with the variety of vegetables in it. On some region the Pecel uses egg also as the side dish. before the vegetables could be eaten they steamed the vegetables so it is not hard to chew. But here's one fact, in almost every place in eastern Java, you could find a wide variety of Pecel with theirs modification.

3. Satay
Satay is a traditional food that comes from Java. The satay it self was populared of a place known as Madura. So what is a satay ? Well a satay is a traditional food that impale a meat (it could be Chicken, cow, or goat.) on a single stick and then burn them with coal (For more taste.) The Satay it self needs a partner and it is, onion and cucumber with peanut sauce on the satay. But other than that, you could add a rice or lontong to it for more taste. Here another fact, this cuisine are spreaded among the people in Nusantara. like in Padang or Batam Island, and others. For Padang, the satay they make are usually spicy.

4. Petay and Jengkol

This particular vegetables could be probably are one of the most cuisine with great taste of salty or spicy. The saute petay/Jengkol could make your breath smells really rotten. the Jengkol/Petay could be used as a sambal but the result are the same you will get a stinky breath. But i told you alright it is worth it. The Petay fruit are the one vegetables that are could be used as a medicine for worms. As for Jenkol, don't ate too much of them you could get something known as "Jengkoleun" or a side effects of too much eating Jengkol. The case were you cannot go peeing for a specific amount of time.

So thats about it i hoped this could give you more source of good eatry around this diverse food culture around this Nusantara. I see you soon.
