Authentic Dayak Food at Ruman Makan Samba - Palangkaraya Kalimantan Tengah
I have waited 12 years to come back. The food here was unforgettable and I can still remember the fragrance of the fire grill treatment and the lusage of local Dayak sauces and spices. This is the place where the top folks of this city will go. You have the governor as well as chiefs of the various governmental institutions catching a breather with great food in privacy.
Proposals to shift the capital from Jakarta to Palangkaraya has been rumored for a long time but never materialised. It is almost in the middle of Indonesia: between Aceh in the west and Jayapura in the east. The rumours have not died....
The food here is Dayak and you get the freshest. Food here get the full Dayak spices v treatment.
My favourite has to be the Helicopter Catfish. Its wild and the morsels were firm and sweet. Coupled with great sauces and grilled over fire we got the smoked smell and great taste. Then there is the patin with a good coating of spices.
The other vegan favourite of mine would be the sour Paku Pakis. It looked innocuous and simple but the taste was exquisite and the vegetable was so tender and young. And the bamboo shoot in simple thin soup was refreshing. Both allowed the vegetables taste and freshness to surface unhindered.
