Translations:Rendang/35/en

Rendang, a celebrated dish from the Minangkabau region, is tied to a folk tale about Princess Puti Ranti, a humble and skilled cook. In a royal cooking competition, jealous rivals sabotaged her gulai, causing it to blacken. Despite this, the dish turned out delicious, and Puti Ranti won the contest. The delighted king named the dish rendang, combining her name and that of her future fiancé, Danggala. This story reflects Rendang’s significance as a symbol of heritage and pride in Minangkabau culture.
