Javanese Cuisine: The food in Java tends to be sweeter, with dishes like Gudeg (young jackfruit stew) and Sate Ayam (chicken satay). It’s often lighter and less spicy compared to other regions.
Padang Cuisine: From West Sumatra, this style is famous for its rich, spicy, and coconut milk-based dishes like Rendang, Gulai, and Sambal Balado (spicy chili sauce).
Balinese Cuisine: Balinese food often involves pork (such as Babi Guling, roasted suckling pig) and rich, aromatic spices. Lawar (a traditional mix of vegetables, coconut, and minced meat) is another Balinese favorite.
Sulawesi Cuisine: Known for its use of fresh seafood, particularly in coastal regions, Sulawesi cuisine includes dishes like Coto Makassar (a rich beef stew) and Tinutuan (Manado porridge).
