In West Sumatra's highland areas cattle are more pentiful and thus more meat is used in West Sumatran cooking than on Java. Tumeric and red peppers are used more often as well. The most famous dish of West Sumatra is rendang padang, big pieces of roast buffalo or beef cooked for days in coconut milk until the meat becomes black, tough and a bit stringy. It can keep for a month; a good traveling food. It's served in a gravy so thick it's almost a paste, and hot as blazes. But deng deng is hotter still; thinly cut pieces of dried beef are served in a chili sauce, with more red chilies sprinkled on top. Makes your teeth bleed. But delicately flavored black tea with lime or lemon puts the fire out. Afterwards for dessert bananas, bananas, and more bananas. Sample also gu/ai itik (duck goulash), bu/ai be/ut (eels goulash), gulai rebuang (goulash with bamboo shoots), and samba/ /ado (chilies and other spices). Compared to Java and Bali, restaurant food is expensive in Padang. Kindness Restaurant, JI. Prof. Yamin 185, is the tourist restaurant of Padang and sometimes has a sign out front that says 'We sell fruit salad'. About Rp200 a meal, but not Padang food; excellent gado2 (Rp100) and a fair mie goreng, es durian (Rp 100). Kindness has a garden patio facing the street-life. Good martabak is served in the restaurants of JI. Prof. Yamin. Simpang Ampat, JI. Prof. Yamin 120, has bistek, nasi and mie goreng, real rendang (only Rp50 a serving), a plate of genuine pickles (RpSO). Also try Items, JI. Prof. Yamin, right next door to Simpang Ampat, RplOO at plate for Padang food. Tepi Pasang, on JI. Tepi Pasang, is an often crowded Chinese-run open air restaurant with two woks working full blast, turning out delicious fried chicken, Rp500, cap cai, Rp350, and bihun mie, Rp275.
