Happy B(EARTH)DAY

In the spirit of Earth Day that is celebrated on April 22 annually.
Let us think and be aware.

In fact, EARTH is the only place to live!
Starts from you and you'll inspire everyone.
No matter how others talked about you.
One more thing to acknowledge,

"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children"

Padang foods comprise chicken, beef, eggs, cassava leaves, vegetables, cabbage, and hot chili as the main menu. It has a special sauce called sambal ijo.

Its presentation is extremely unique where the servants would carry 20 plates of foods menu to visitor table in a single inter directly. It becomes a fun acrobatic performances presented with food and piled two levels.

Fun Awesome Attraction in Padang Eatery

Padang cuisine is considered as a symbol of community or kinship, as it is usually used as an area where families collect in one place to eat together. Minang ethnic have a culture of togetherness and commonly habituate to solve problems while eating whether it just keeps in talk or creating an exchange of thoughts. From children to grandparents and so are the grandchildren. Its spicy taste symbolizes the bravery of Minangkabau tribe as well. On the other hand, it is about to   introduce heritage to the younger generation.
