Minangkabau cuisine / Padang food

Serious tourists and guide books rave about padang food. What an adventure!



I don’t get it. There are a bunch of dishes of food stacked up in the window all day long with flies jumping all over it and it is supposed to be a great experience to choose what you get to eat. Most of the meat portions are skimpy at best and the chunks of fish are tiny.

The food is cold but they put it on top of warm rice (usually it’s warm). The drinks are all stacked up in the sun as well so if you get a coke or anything it is nice and warm. Warm coke, cold food.

At least there is always a pitcher of free water on the table that you might need to help wash down your meal if they loaded it with chili.

Fresh ikan bakar, hot off the coals blows away padang food any time.
