It will be hard to find a Malaysian citizen who does not love rendang. You will find rendang curry paste being prepared in most houses to stir up lip-smacking meat-based dishes. Rendang, our favorite Malaysian Curry was nominated by CNN International in 2011 as the No. 1 world’s most delicious dish in their “World’s 50 Most Delicious Food” list. Just like the black pepper sauce, rendang is also a versatile ingredient that can be used with all kinds of meats and even vegetables.
As for the origin of Rendang, the controversy will always be the underlining issue. We believe however that credit must be due to the Minangkabau people in Western Sumatra, Indonesia.
In Malaysia, the Minangkabau community is found in Negeri Sembilan. In this matriarch society, it is the wife who is the head of the family. Rendang today is found all over Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and the Philippines. It is often described as a South-East Asian curry made by stewing meat in coconut milk and spices until the meat is tender and turns brown. This is traditionally served for ceremonial or festive seasons like a Malay wedding. You will find rendang ayam being served at many feasts. Depending on the preferences of the eaters and availability, you will find the dish is prepared with beef and seafood.
While Rendang is traditionally cooked with beef, there are also many variations using chickens, potatoes, prawns, lambs, ducks, livers, spleens, paku pakis – a type of fern among others. Indonesia apparently has over 50 types of Rendang. In Malaysia also, the dish has some varieties. Among the more well-known rendang are Rendang Tok in Perak, Nyonya Rendang, and Rendang Minangkabau.
