📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Nasi Padang is a style of eating from the Padang region of West Sumatra. A dozen or more dishes are displayed on small plates, and diners choose what they want to eat with rice. The dishes are mostly spicy and rich — beef rendang, eggs in sambal, vegetables in coconut milk — and Padang restaurants are found all over Indonesia and in Indonesian communities worldwide.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Padang restaurant, small dishes are stacked in a pyramid in the window and servers bring them out at lightning speed.
