Brief History
Throughout its history, Indonesia had become centre of trade among other continents in the world (for about 360 years). The trade brought many things including spices, foodstuff, and cuisines from many ethnics such as Melayu, India, Middle East, Tionghoa, and Europe into Indonesia. The meeting of those differences causes a combination of Indonesian traditional food and results many varieties that cannot be found in other countries. For example, a combination with Tionghoa’s food results bakpao (steamed bun stuffed with meat or others) and noodle that sold in a shop or in the sidewalk. And one of characteristics of adaptation for Tionghoa-Indonesian food is beef and chicken are preferred then pork. It is because the majority of Indonesian people are Moslems which prohibit eating pork. Besides, Indonesian special spices are often consumed to complete the servings such as sambal.
