Indonesia is a country in Southeast
Asia. With a multitude of languages and ethnic groups spread across 17,000
islands, it is no surprise that the food in Indonesia is as diverse
as its geography so the tourism called traveling Indonesia as a culinary journey. In side that, food in
Indonesia also has been influenced other case as like colonization where
Indonesia rich will native spices such as nutmeg and cloves so the traders from some country come for trading automotically food in indonesia get influence
from this process.
Although have a
multitude foods, Indonesia still have typical indonesian food as like satay served with peanut sauce, ketupat, soto ayam, tahu telor, otak otak, nasi goreng, gado gado, beef rendang, telor keprok, and not forget on every dishes always
completed with kerupuk. In several restaurant
usually provide foods on one packet consists of steamed rice and one or
two main dishes made of fish, meat, chicken or vegetables, sometimes including
soup, all of which are served together. A common side dish is sambal. This is a dish that always present on every kinds of
food.
We know that Indonesia's
main staple is rice so we can find several food that mades from it although served either plain or fried with
spices. Nasi goreng and gado – gado are foods that made from that so no
traveler can pass through Indonesia without eating fried rice, Indonesia's tasty version of fried rice. This popular, low-cost dish is
eaten by Indonesians regularly for dinner and sometimes even breakfast. Garlic,
shallot, tamarind, and chili lend fried rice its delicious flavor. Still use main
staple rice, we can try gado – gado. This is
a great choice for vegetarians. Gado-gado usually consists of
stir-fried vegetables coated with a thick peanut sauce for protein.
The typical indonesian food is
identic from manner of eating where mayority from Indonesia people are eaten with
the fingers or with a spoon and fork. But the most popular is with the fingers
as like Indonesians use their right hand because with the fingers made food
yummy and more delicious. So in several rumah makan (eating house) always
provides a bowl of water on the table for dipping our right hand so clean or
just keep polite with our friends if we eat together.
Kendari in Southeast Sulawesi is
ones island in Indonesia country thats also has typical food as like Sinonggi.
This is dishes that made from sago that served with fish of
palmara
and coconut mink vegetable are
eaten with chopsticks. Hot and spicy is the typical from this food.
LEBARAN
DAY
Lebaran is Idul Fitri day in
celebration every year by moeslims in all country in the world includes
Indonesia as like the celebration that comes on every Ramadhan month. The
meaning of Idul Fitri is “becoming holy again”. Ramadan, vary from year to
year, based on the Muslim calendar (Hijrah) that exact date is determined by
the sighting of the new moon.
Lebaran is always relation with the
fasting month of Ramadhan where during this month. The fast begins in the
morning just before sunrise, at Imsak,
and is broken at maghrib
at sunset. The Muslims must refrain from eating, drinking, smoking,
getting angry, using bad language, lying, more diligent for prayer and give to
harities during the daylight hours. It is believe that fasting heightens
spirituality and develops self-control because fasting during the month of
Ramadhan is one of the five pillars of Islam.
The unique activities on this montsh
is we will always hear the call to prayer is sounded from mosques. In addition,
groups of young boys and girls walk around neighborhoods beating on drums and
other noise makers to awaken the faithful (and their neighbors) yelling out
"sahur, sahur";
Unique and interest.
The breaking of the fast at sunset
is a very social occasion for which special foods are prepared for gatherings
with family or friends. Upon hearing the sound of the bedug drum on the television or the call to prayer from the
neighborhood mosque at sunset, the faithful know it's time to break their fast,
or buka puasa. This is
usually done with a very sweet drink and sweet snacks.as eample pisang ijo ice,
teler ice, ice tea, etc. Maghrib prayers
are made before a dinner. Taraweh congregational
prayers are held in neighborhood mosques and at gatherings every evening at
about 7:30 p.m.
After finished fasting during
Ramdhan month, we can hear takbiran as like the prayer celebration on the
evening of the last day of Ramadhan, to herald in the Idul Fitri holiday.
Chants are praised to Allah, drums are beat endlessly, dances, songs, religious
prayers and sermons are given in public displays of excitement and praise to
Allah SWT. Next is the time for muslims made Id prayers together. Idul Fitri
begins with mass prayer gatherings early in the morning at mosques, open
fields, parks and on major streets. It is an amazing sight to see rows of
hundreds of Muslim women all dressed in their mukena (white, head-to-toe prayer
gowns) performing the synchronized prayer ritual. Muslim men tend to wear
sarong, traditional shirts and peci hats to Idul Fitri morning prayers.
After it, Muslims will visit their
family and friends to ask for forgiveness for any wrongs they have committed in
the previous year. They express this wish in the phrase “Mohon Maaf Lahir
Batin” or Minal aidzin Wal Faidzin” which means "forgive me from the
bottom of my heart for my wrong doings in the past year. Traditional foods as
like ketupat, soup, rendang, etc are consumed, family and friends gather to ask
forgiveness and exchange greetings, new clothing is worn, children receive
gifts of money and visits are made to recreational parks . All to celebrate the
successful completion of the fasting month.
MY
FIRST DAY IN ENGLISH STUDY PROGRAM
Kriiiiiiiiing, kriiing,
kriiinnnng went my alarm o’clock, waked me
up from my fall sleep on this morning. . I felt excited and at the same
time I was very nervous because it was my first day in the university and I did not know any
person. Hm how about this? Oh God I am very nervous to day and tried to close
my full body with my blanket again for thinking what I can do in campus later.
I want to forget it
and tried to sleep again but accidently my mother voice get me up heared in my
ear. Very near.
I saw
the watch in the wall has been showed time 07.00 a.m. I take towel and bath
tools then go to bathroom for bathing. After that weared my clothes and I walked
to my campus because was very near with my dormitory. It was Haluoleo University. I walked to my classroom
but my first problem was I didn't know how to arrive to my classroom. I was
lost and I had to ask one person about the building where I was going to take
classes. This person was very nice and told me the right direction. I walked to
the building, and when I arrived I saw some people and I felt strange. I
approached to one girl and I asked for the classroom and we discovered that we
where in the same group and I felt less nervous. I introduced myself and She
also did it, her name was Silvi. We came in the classroom and the time to start
classes began. When we began our classes, all our classmates were quiet, nobody
talked. the teacher arrived early. she started the class and after that we
introduced ourselves.
Then I saw my others classmates and
I looked at two girls they were nila and yuni.I approached with them and I
talked with Nila and Yuni . I introduced myself, then they did the same and we
began to know more about each other, like where we were from or what we did.
After that, we spent the rest of the day together started from visited
laboratory, library, and walked to cafetaria for lunch and each person talked
aboth her life until we had to go home.
I am always going to remember that day because I had
the opportunity to meet more people and the most important I met the best
friends that I have ever had. Finally, I think that it is natural that on the
first day we feel nervous, but the things always have a happy ending, that's
why I say that my first day in the university was very good.
