Rendang is one of my favorite foods. I started liking rendang when I was little. at that time my mother cooked lunch for us. my mother cooks meat mixed with lots of spices. my mother cooked the meat so long that we all almost starved waiting for the meat to cook. but that's how to cook rendang to get the taste and characteristics of soft and delicious rendang meat. after cooked my mother served it on the dining table. But my expectations when I saw rendang were very strange because I have never seen food like this. When I ate and tasted this dish, my expectations immediately changed drastically. I was so amazed by the delicious taste of rendang that I told my mother to cook me rendang every day. That's where I started to like rendang and continue to like rendang until now.
