- Insights from the Gourmet AI
- Mie Ayam, a popular dish throughout Indonesia, may appear to be Chinese cuisine at first glance, but it is actually an Indonesian creation influenced by Chinese culinary traditions. It has been particularly influenced by the culinary culture brought over by immigrants from Fujian Province in China, resulting in a perfect combination of chewy noodles and sweet BBQ sauce. In Indonesia, where many Muslims seek halal food, it has become common to avoid traditional pork lard and instead use chicken or beef lard. The dish I encountered at TRANSMART in Jakarta symbolizes the diversity and history of Indonesian culture, allowing you to savor the taste of cultural enlightenment with each bite of the noodles. The author of this gourmet blog, while savoring the taste of enlightenment, seemed to be hoping for some financial enlightenment, as they pushed aside some cilantro to the edge of the plate.
