4. Sebelumnya, suku-suku di Indonesia punya makanan pokok masing-masing. Baru sejak pemerintahan Orde Baru makanan pokoknya diseragamkan menjadi nasi.

5. Orang Indonesia sangat suka masakan yang pedas. Takaran 'pedas' untuk orang luar Indonesia, adalah 'sedang' untuk orang Indonesia. 

6. Indomie adalah makanan paling sering dicari oleh orang Indonesia di luar negeri yang sedang kangen rumah.

7. Banyak orang Indonesia merasa dirinya belum makan, kalau belum makan nasi. Bahkan kepuasan makan nasi, tidak bisa dikalahkan dengan makan lontong atau ketupat (yang notabene adalah produk olahan nasi juga).

8. Jumlah warung Tegal dan Rumah Makan Padang di Indonesia tidak bisa dihitung jumlahnya. Kita dapat menemukan Rumah Makan Padang di hampir semua daerah di Indonesia. Kecuali di Padang.

9. Karena masih satu rumpun, maka Indonesia, Malaysia dan Singapura pun 'berbagi' beberapa jenis dan nama makanan yang sama, seperti laksa, cendol, rendang, sate, rujak dll.

10. Maluku dikenal sebagai pulau rempah-rempah, dan rempah-rempah inilah yang membuat Indonesia ratusan tahun yang lalu diperebutkan negara-negara kolonial! Maluku bahkan masih dikenal sebagai salah satu daerah penghasil pala terbesar di dunia.

11. Dressing khas Indonesia, namanya bumbu kacang. Bumbu kacang digunakan untuk dressing gado-gado, ketoprak, pecel, karedok, lotek. Atau untuk cocolan otak-otak, siomay, batagor dan banyak jenis makanan lain.

13. Tidak semua orang Palembang bisa membuat empek-empek, dan tidak semua orang Bangka bisa membuat martabak. 

14. Istilah Soto tidak ada terjemahannya dalam bahasa Inggris. Di luar negeri, Soto dan Sop disamakan. 

15. Otak-otak tidak terbuat dari otak dan sate Laler tidak terbuat dari lalat, begitu juga roti buaya tidak mengandung bagian tubuh buaya. Orang Indonesia memang kreatif dalam menciptakan nama-nama yang spektakuler.

16. Bakwan adalah nama makanan yang sangat ambigu. Di kebanyakan tempat Bakwan berarti perkedel jagung. Di Surabaya, bakwan itu sejenis bakso. Sedangkan di Bangka Belitung, bakwan adalah sejenis empek-empek rebus yang berkuah. 

17. Jika memesan teh, di Jawa Tengah kita akan mendapatkan teh manis, dan di Jawa Barat kita akan mendapatkan teh tawar. Untuk mendapatkan teh tawar di Jawa Tengah kita harus spesifik mengatakan 'teh tawar', dan juga untuk mendapatkan teh manis di Jawa Barat, kita harus spesifik mengatakan 'teh manis'.

Indonesian culinary hero

First, tour the nation Indonesia is more famous for its treat landscapes, old buildings and ancient heritage as well as the friendly tamahannya. It has also been recognized by all countries across the face of the earth. The term, this country is the Emerald Equator.
However, lack of maintenance, promotion and dissemination of that time to make this gap was harassed by adahnya advertising promotions from neighboring countries who picked up a few of thousands of this nation's culture. Heck he argued, the state name semumpun so if something like a natural.
Grrrr!
The next state should be grateful because the president of this country is not bang strikeout, this perumahanku foreman. If only bang foreman who became president, let alone allied cuman, a bag of his brother's brother's womb gampar if he violated ethical or seize land without permission.
Well, fortunately I came to admire the figure. He is a pack Bondan Winarno. A seasoned journalist character who moves like a breeze. Unseen but felt really blowing and pusarannyanya effect.
It was he who finally opened the eyes of all nations Indonesia tourism potential if there is hidden the Culinary tour. Proved, so rich in culinary tourism in this country. Imagine, from the soup alone is more variety such as Soto Betawi, Soto Madura, Soto Padang, Coto Makassar and others.


Black Soup! Rawon Black, native to IndonesiaNot to mention I've heard there are no soup is very popular in Europe because of the name and it feels really exotic aka the Black Sauce Soup of the original Black Rawon of Betawi.
All stories culinary Indonesia can be seen in acaraOm Mariah on Trans TV. In fact I think this country needs to give appreciation to the Om Mariah with a new hero, hero Culinary Indonesia.

 Om Bondan Winarno, Indonesia Culinary HeroFinally, from the movement of Om Mariah Culinary tourism is, appears typical culinary products of Indonesia other diverse and unique-unique. And about this cuisine, the right seems to have to send more students to this country. It was not until decades later years he might be new again laid claim to this treasure Kuliber Indonesia.
Motto Om Mariah was also eventually become a very popular tagline. Because of the popularity, who now does not know the term "Pokok'e Maknyuuusss". The term is a quality standard for fine food grade 'Empire' alias overhang. Hehehehe ....
I swear, I strongly support the movement of this culinary tour of Mariah Om. How not to eat where Om Bondang really fit with my view about where to eat first. Where's my view about the meal divided by 2 things:
Eat or Eat Delicious Delicious?The explanation is, Delicious Eating means feeding site must be comfortable and good for eating. This version is suitable only for eating and going out of business lobbies. Of course it should be more funding. If not more so had to use the system dibayarin aunt Visa or MasterCard Om first. Nggantinya later if there are money .. heheheh
Then, eat delicious food that means we find it tasty, it does not matter about the place. In fact I think the class where the overhang of the tongue instead give more pleasure. And of course, cost-effective even if you must bring your own towels as sweat flooded spiciness.
Problem is delicious to eat or eat any I have always sought-to emua a gang of friends to me while still a boarding school boys. No exception to the Mambo and Bendo, who was coming towards Kosku dri Jogja for field practice.

 Vegetable Kupat thick sauce made budhe Yogyakarta near Perumahanku ...I explain at length the fiery and I'm very satisfied with dazed head-nod of the two friends kentalku this, as thick vegetable soup made Kupat egg at a time when I ate breakfast with my wife.
"But Ndol, the words make me mumet pearls!" Said Mambo in warteg where I'll buy him meals.
"Mumet how?"
"Yes, I do not mudeng term ama Eat Eat Delicious Enakmu"
"Loh how come?"
"Yes, I ate him it was important SENSE. Food like this "
"Loh emang awful feeling well this warteg food?"
"It's not the taste of food warteg this ... but ..."
"But what?"
"E ... I mean, suppose it .... RASAh MBAYAR! Gratiiiiisss Alias ​​", he explained.
I cuman lol, with a slight nimpuk with a spoon. But it also bener, the exception for children boarding, free is everything.
