The Most Famous Food Around The World epsd (week1&2)

hello there,
on this pages I'll share a little about the most famous food around the world. and here it is...

1. Tom Yum Goong-Thailand

Tom Yum Goong is voted one of the most delicious and most favorite dishes among both foreigners and Thais. It always in the top ten list of not only most delicious but also most famous and most popular foods in the world as well. Tom Yum is one type of soup in Thailand. It consists of soup stock with herbs, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaf and a choice of meat and vegetables. In this case the choice of meat will be “goong”= shrimp. The soup is normally seasoned with fish sauce, lime juice and chilies. There are also optional add-ons, such as Nam Phrik Pao (chili jam), and sometimes milk or even coconut milk.

Tom Yum is widely eaten all over the country. Some of you who know how to make Tom Kha Soup might ask how the two soups are different. The difference is Tom Kha is a thick soup with a coconut base and heavy on young galangal for the herb, but Tom Yum originally was a clear broth with lemongrass as the lead herb, followed with kaffir lime leaf, and the galangal would be less prominent in this soup. The biggest difference for me is Tom Yam is so hot and spicy and Tom Kha is milder.

2. Rendang-Indonesia

Rendang is a dish which originated from the West Sumatera of Indonesia. Rendang is a traditional dish using coconut milk and beef as main ingredient and is equipped with coconut milk, pepper, onion, turmeric leaves and lime leaves. Rendang is also mentioned in many classical Malay literature such as Hikayat Amir Hamzah who proves he is a Malay cuisine since the 1550's.The longer the rendang is cooked it will taste more delicious and the colors will be more black and will increasingly dry.

Rendang is a dish that not only taste delicious, more than that rendang has a philosophy.This philosophy is seen from the material elements of the cuisine and cooking rendang. There are four philosophies contained in  rendang in Minang Kabau society, namely:

                                                       

1. The first philosophy derived from Dagiang (meat). The meat used in the manufacture of rendang, which comes from beef. Meat is a symbol of "Ninik Mamak" which is the traditional tribal leaders in West Sumatra.

2. The second philosophy derived from Karambia (coconut). Coconut is a symbol of intellectual (the intellectuals).

3. The third philosophy derived from Lado (chili), which is a symbol of the scholars, the spicy and assertive in teaching religion.

4. The last philosophy is cooking (spices) that symbolizes the whole of society Minang.

At the present time, this rendang cuisine creations will progressively expand. Not only rendang dishes made from beef (beef rendang), which become food delicious, but the rendang jackfruit (rendang Cubadak), rendang egg, potato rendang, rendang lung even more creation. Well, you do not necessarily have to come into the field to enjoy the delicious cuisine rendang, because you can make at home. The longer the rendang is cooked, it will taste more delicious. Beef rendang, a practical will last longer than other rendang.
