Still for this Indonesian Week, I decided to cover traditional food from the far far land in the eastern side of the country. Papeda is a sagoo dish for people in Papua and certain part of Maluku Island. It’s funny that here in Malaysia, people from Sarawak has similar sagoo dish as well. The difference is, Papeda from Papua is eaten with Ikan Kuah Kuning while in Sarawak they eat their sagoo with sambal belacan.
It’s been quite a decade plus since the last time I ate Papeda back in the year 1998. I used to live in Papua for 14 years to actually miss this food so much.
Akai meroooo, it brings back memory today.
