Padang is a big city in West Sumatra. If you hear about Padang, you must think of Malin Kundang and Rendang. Many people like rendang because it is delicious. So what is Rendang? Rendang is a Minang dish originating from the Minangkabau region in West Sumatra, Indonesia. It is a dish of beef or other meat cooked slowly in coconut milk and various spices until fairly dry.

We can easily see this food every day. Especially since we live on Java Island. But it tastes a bit different in Java. We can eat it starting from 20.000 rupiahs.

I hope this article can help you understand more about Indonesian cuisine, especially rendang.
