Rendang (Indonesian Beef Curry)


Most Indonesian people like this menu, especially when they have a din­ner in Padang Restaurant. Yup..Beef Ren­dang. Orig­i­nally from West Sumatra but now it is served out­side Indone­sia as well. Beef Ren­dang is also famous in Sin­ga­pore and Malaysia and usu­ally served in tra­di­tional fes­ti­val. But there are dif­fer­ences between Indone­sia and Malaysia, In Indone­sia Beef Ren­dang is pre­fer to enjoy with rice then in Malaysia it’s enjoyed with ketu­pat. (a com­pressed rice cake).

Whether you enjoy it with rice or ketu­pat, both are still taste fan­tas­tic. Let’s take a look at the recipe:
