Indonesian cuisine
Indonesia is located in the tropics and does not produce wheat, so the residents' staple food is rice, corn or potatoes, especially rice. In addition to cooked rice, Indonesians also like to wrap rice or glutinous rice in a diamond shape with banana leaves or palm leaves, and then steam it, which is called "Keduba". Indonesians also like pasta, such as noodles and bread.
There are many kinds of snacks in Indonesia, mainly fried bananas, glutinous rice balls, fish meatballs, fried rice and various sesame cakes. Indonesians also like to eat mixed rice and mixed yellow rice. Indonesians regard yellow as a symbol of good luck, so yellow rice has become a gift meal and an essential food for weddings and sacrifices.
