ethnic tourism

There are always some exhibitions going on at The British Museum, some of them are permanent exhibitions and others no, however, still very interesting to see

Peanuts are important to everyday cooking in most regions of Indonesia. Sometimes the small nuts are boiled in sufficient water to enrich the stock of a vegetable soup like the famous tamarind or sour-fruit flavoured soup called Sayur Asam. The still-crunchy texture and the nutty taste make an interesting combination with the vegetables.

Sampling regional dishes of Minahasa in North Sulawesi one will most certainly be offered the most renowned dish of all the bubur manado, a traditional porridge of rice and vegetables served with sambal dabu-dabu and roa, the smoked fish of the region. Should chili “hotness” appeal to you, chicken rica-rica will be served. A more exotic approach to the food is tumis bunga pepaya from the flowers of the male papaya tree (yes there are male and female papaya trees!) with kangkung (water convolvulus).
