Indonesia is a country that has many types of food. Whatever the ingredients, it can be processed very well. Any food must have its own characteristics based on their respective regions. In fact, there are many foods that seem very similar, but if they are processed in different regions, they will have different names.

I like the many types of food in Indonesia, but most like the food from the Padang area, West Sumatra. Because I lived in Padang for 4 years to continue my undergraduate studies at Andalas University, Padang.
During those 4 years I learned a lot about food, because eating is one of my hobbies.

The memories are very clear in my head for food adventures there, and one of my favorites is Catfish Asam Padeh. So, I like catfish when I'm in Padang. In fact, in my life, I have never eaten catfish because our family doesn't like it at all.

Catfish has a unique texture, especially in the skin and belly fat, it's a very delicious part and I can't skip it if I eat catfish, even though many people don't like the fat from catfish, they say it's fishy and weird, maybe it's because I'm very crazy about catfish fat? Hahaha

My husband and I are two very different people when it comes to eating catfish. My husband really doesn't like catfish, he said it was too funny to swallow. The throat feels like it has mucus and is fishy.
So while we were married, I tried to get him to like catfish. But of course, it's been 5 years I failed to make him like it.

But it's very different when I try to cook Palumara CatFish. I forced him to try it, and I succeeded in becoming a wife who could make him like catfish. Finally he ate the catfish with gusto.

- Palumara catfish is ready to be served.


Try serving the Palumara catfish with a bowl of hot rice and boiled vegetables. The food is very tasty, easy and cheap tho. My mainstay if you want to cook food easily and deliciously, this food is also healthy because it only uses less oil. Especially now that palm oil is very expensive, I have to rack my brain to make simple and cheap dishes without having to use or minimize the use of palm oil.

So, anyone want another recipe? Comment below!
