I am really proud as Indonesian. We have a great and unique culture with 34 provinces. Every provinces has different dialects, traditional costume, unique and authentic food. We have a lot popular food such as satay, nasi goreng, rendang and etc. One of Indonesian food you must to know is Rendang. Rendang chosen as a best finest food in the world, survey was held by CNN in 2011. Rendang is a food from West Sumatra, it has infuse of Indian curry and Thai Curry. The ingredients for rendang such as chilies, lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, shallot, ginger and coconut milk. The process of cooking takes about 3 hours to make the meat tender and caramelized.               For people who lives in NY area, you don't have to worry because there are many Indonesian restaurant served rendang. As for me there is one Indonesian restaurant with the authentic taste of rendang from West Sumatra. The restaurant name is Upi Jaya located on 7604 Woodside Ave, Elmhurst-Queens. This restaurant is highly recommended for the authenticity of West Sumatra food.
