Kiko just returned from trip to Padang, West Sumatra. Along with her is various Padang Food, very famous and versatile food available almost anywhere in Indonesia. It is a special one, originally made in Padang, and probably by Padang people as well, with original spice.
The jerky meat (known locally as dendeng) is always my favorite. Padang has so many type of jerky meat, the thin crispy one with red chili called dendeng balado and the soft brown one with green chilli known as dendeng batokok is easily available here. Kiko bought the later, and another one that I've never seen before: dendeng baracik, served with raw tomato and slice of shallots.
But that's not all. There are a piece of duck, dipped in green pepper, called Itiak Lado Ijo in local language. Although look spicy, the taste was just nice, not as spiy as it look.
And finally, the one I asked her to bought: Pale Bada. Bada is some kind of fish, wrapped with shredded coconut and cassava leaves. Finally it is wrapped with banana leaves before being steamed until cooked. It is sweet and spicy, perfect complement for the cassava leaves.
Don't forget to eat all of them with a hot, just-cooked rice, with your hands. It will be your perfect dining experience
