@bubu4745 it would appear that there are two sections on cnngo.... a CNN version which we quote and a Reader's Picks version which is the one you quote. Confusing. Either way it's great to see Malay (whether from Indonesia or Malaysia, etc) heritage cuisine getting popular! Let's be positive and not nit-pick!

@pashaa182 While it is true rendang has its origins in parts of Indonesia, rendang has become a national favourite of Malaysia whose national heritage is closely connected with Indonesia. So, we make no apology for highlighting it as part of our Malaysian food series.

@lockjawtheory You do know that there is a State (you call it Provinsi/Propinsi) in Malaysia called Negeri Sembilan where majority of them are of Minangkabau origin, right?

We even have The Higest Kings (Yang diPertuan Agong) of Malaysia (higher status than Prime Minister) coming from this state over time. Now tell me, How many Padang's natives of Minangkabau origin had bcame Indonesian President?

My point is: This dish belongs to the PEOPLE not the Country. U should be proud. Not offended.

@linkse11 We don't claim noth

ing. It is OURS as much it is as YOURS. Melayu Jawa share the same forefathers as orang Jawa of Pulau Jawa today, and so on. We inherited it by blood and birth like you do.

I hope you get the idea.

If Malaysia can't call it as it's culture, so does Indonesia. It belongs to the people, not the country, remember? :)

[dogoly2k]

@linkse11 I know that. But what you failed to grasp from my previous comment is that ? Javanese of Java and and Melayu of Sumatera are MALAY in Malaysia.

For example, Barongan (you call as Reog) and Kuda Kepang (Kuda Lumping?) are practiced mostly by Melayu - Jawa). Melayu-Minang of Negeri 9 don't play these.

So, when Melayu Minang, Melayu Patani, Melayu-Riau, Jawa, Sunda etc became lords of Tanah Melayu, Their culture became the culture of the land also. Why do u find it wrong? :)

[linkse11]

@dogoly2k so you guys just please stop claiming something that is MOSTLY used or develop in Indonesia originally as Malaysia's. Because it seems like u guys have no own identity.

[linkse11]

@dogoly2k oh man, u goin too far to relate the point to rendang..

Well, to answer you, my point is: because Javanese, Sundanese and Melayu people (which is based in Sumatra) has their very own culture, so that they differentiate (not insult) each other. And, you stated that the food (in this case: rendang) belongs to people, and i agreed with that, so why now it should become a land's heritage?

Anyway no offense, I am bengkulunese who also like rendang very much.

@ningrestaurant

debating about culture with concept of country or etnhic is sometimes make us counfused.but past is past and now is now and because of "those white bastards",we r now separated.if u realize that this cuisine doesn't belong to any country but to the etnic,please be fair to write it with title"minang food" and not malaysian food.it'd be very sensitive if u write so.cause some indo's ppl would think that malay try to claim.i suggest u to be more careful when u wanna tell something.
