Just so you know. The beef rendang is originally Indonesian cuisine for centuries but these past few years, malaysia has been trying to claim it as their cuisine. They need to be more creative with their cuisine and it is not fair for Indonesia: to have their best cuisines being claimed by another country like malaysia. Such a shame!
