Nasi Padang
A Minang cuisine originated from West Sumatra, Indonesia.
Made with gulai lemak daging, rendang sapi, gulai lemak ayam kampung, udang balado, sambal lada hijau and sambal tumis udang which makes it hard to handle for some people.
Main ingredients are candlenuts, cloves, cardamom, star anise and coconut milk.
Each of the dishes are served in small plates instead of piling everything on one plate, hence one only pays for what dishes they eat.
Fairly well-balanced with meat, fish and vegetables.
