Rendang


Rendang (/ˈrəndɑːŋ/ REN-DUNG; Indonesian
pronunciation: [rənˈdaŋ]) is a Minang dish originating from the Minangkabau
region in West Sumatra, Indonesia. It has spread across Indonesian cuisine to
the cuisines of neighbouring Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia,
Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines. Rendang is often described as a rich
dish of meat — most commonly beef (rendang daging) — that has been slow cooked
and braised in a coconut milk seasoned with a herb and spice mixture, until the
liquids evaporate and the meat turns dark brown and tender, becoming
caramelized and infused with rich flavours.



As the signature dish of Minangkabau culture, rendang is
traditionally served at ceremonial occasions to honour guests during festive
events; such as wedding feasts and Lebaran or Hari Raya (Indonesian popular
words for both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha). Rendang is also traditionally
served among the Malay community in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei,
as well as the Maranao in the Philippines.



Rendang is officially recognised as one of Indonesia's
national dishes. Six types of rendang preparations have also been designated as
intangible cultural heritage by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and
Culture. A broad survey in 2011 placed beef rendang as the most delicious dish
in the world.



Rendang is revered in Minangkabau culture as an embodiment
of the philosophy of musyawarah, discussion and consultation with elders. It
has been claimed that the four main ingredients represent Minangkabau society
as a whole:



  • The meat (daging) symbolises the Niniak Mamak, the
    traditional clan leaders such as the datuk, the nobles, royalty and revered
    elders.
  • The coconut milk (karambia) symbolises the Cadiak Pandai,
    intellectuals, teachers, poets and writers.
  • The chilli (lado) symbolises the Alim Ulama, clerics, ulama
    and religious leaders. The hotness of the chilli symbolises Sharia.
  • The spice mixture (pemasak) symbolises the rest of Minangkabau
    society.

Volleyball

 Do you know what is Volleyball ? Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules. It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since Tokyo 1964. Beach volleyball was introduced to the programme at the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympics. The adapted version of volleyball at the Summer Paralympic Games is sitting volleyball. The complete set of rules is extensive, but play essentially proceeds as follows: a player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to three times to return the ball to the other side of the court, but individual pl...
