Foods at Padang

The foods at Padang is DELICIOUS! The spices, the curries, the friends, really make my stomach very happy (and starting to avoid the Restaurant Padang at Jakarta ;D) I cannot express how delicious it is. Even my stomach is now growling again when I editing the video for this ;D Here's are the some foods that I eat when I went to Padang!

00:41 : Soto Paru. Soto (also known as sroto, tauto, or coto) is a traditional Indonesian soup mainly composed of broth, meat and vegetables. Many traditional soups are called soto, whereas foreign and Western influenced soups are called sop. While Paru is lung. So it called Sop Lung Water Buffalo.

01:47 : Sala means Fried, so Sala Lauak is a fried dish that shaped like a blob of thumb that are made from fish meat dough that were mashed and mixed with flour. While the others are fried only. Although what I eating is fried crab, can you spot the Sala Lauak?

03:22 : At last, the Padang Foods! Some wikis explanation on the Padang Foods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padang_cuisine

04:51 : One of the Hotel Breakfast, Traditional Lontong Sayur (Vegetables Lontong(Lontong is a dish made of compressed rice cake in the form of a cylinder wrapped inside a banana leaf,[1] commonly found in Indonesia; also in Malaysia and Singapore.)) and Friend Noodles with peanuts sauce.

05:51 : Itiak Lado Mudo means Green Chili young duck curry is a must at Bukittinggi as they are local dishes!

06:08 : Again, Padang Foods. But this times specific on Ayam Pop (Padang style chicken, boiled/steamed and later fried. While fried chicken is golden brown, ayam pop is light-colored) and Grilled Fish.

07:22 : Sate Padang is a padang style satay, skewered barbecued meat (Either Cow meat or Water Buffalo meat) with thick yellow sauce.

08:11 : Wedding day foods. One of the catering are from Padang Foods Restaurant and they are specialist on Fried Paru at 08:14. Also the Soto is not from the catering but from the host house itself 08:23.

08:33 : Again, Padang Foods but with a specific for Shrimps as it big like hand size!

09:36 : Forgot the name but it's kinda like Sea Snails dip in with curry sauce. Delicious! Accompany with Coconut drink!

10:32 : The restaurant that serve Ice Cream and Mix Fruit Shaved Ice with Durian pour on it. But because I can't eat Durian let alone the smells, I just drink some Tamarillo Juice.

11:51 : And the last is Martabak Mesir and some Fried Rice! Murtabak or martabak, also mutabbaq (Arabic: مطبق‎‎) (Thai: มะตะบะ), is a stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread which is commonly found in Saudi Arabia (especially the Tihamah and the Hejaz regions), Yemen, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Thailand. Depending on the location, the name and ingredients can significantly vary. The name mutabbaq (or sometimes mutabbag) in Arabic means "folded". So Martabak Mesir mean Martabk from Egypt cause at that time, many Egypt people came to Indonesia so this food was introduce to us.

2nd day at Padang, Japanese Cave

And that's it for the 2nd days! It was so tired but it worthed!

1st day at Padang, and I was in AWE!

Padang is an beautiful place, awesome city, and delicious foods paradise. The first day I went there was how clean the city are. The river is clean and the view is green. The traffic are not that bad as Jakarta and the people are nice. I really love it!

And there's Bukittinggi, my God, the place is beautiful. I can't explore it in the first day but in the road, the view is spectacular! And the Lake Maninjau is BIG! It's my first time that I saw it and it's beautiful! Words cannot express how awesome the view is.

And there's also the foods. Padang foods is always open in many place including Jakarta but the taste of the foods is different in the real one. The curry-like flavor is more spicier and the spice is more mild than the one in Jakarta provide. Also, how they cook of it also different and they also have their own specialities on each of their own restaurant. But overall, the Padang foods are delicious!

Anyway, enough reading on it, just watch the videos and I'll bet that you guys wanna go to Padang too! Enjoy it guys!

First, Sorry. Then, Padang Trailer!

First of all guys, I'm sorry, I apologize. I was promise you all that in my previous post that I will post something first before I leave to Padang. But, in turn out there's not much time to do it! At that time, we have to leave at 4AM and I was just 60% working on my post. But I whave to stop because I already sleepy and I can't wake up if I don't sleep early. So I did that. And the result is very catastrophe. I forgot about the post. Really sorry.
