Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Street food aka street food is one type of food that is most loved by many people. Usually, snacks are always an option to satisfy hunger or accompany daily activities.
Every country in the world almost certainly has its own special snacks. In fact, some of them have historical stories behind their creation. Apart from that, each food also has a unique taste and is easily ingrained in the memory of the drinker.
Taste Atlas has just released its list of “100 Best Street Foods in the World” on April 15 2024. In this list, Taste Atlas ranks each typical snack from various countries and ranks them as the best in the world.
Indonesian dumplings have officially been named the most delicious snack, aka number one in the world. This food, which is generally made from chicken or fish, has even managed to beat the famous Chinese Kuotie and Mexican Tacos which are quite famous worldwide.
It is known that Siomay is one of the favorite snacks of Indonesian people which is served with peanut sauce. As a complement, Siomay is often served with eggs, potatoes, tofu, and bitter melon.
In its description, Taste Atlas states that Siomay comes from the Chinese language, Shumai and is believed to have originated from Chinese immigrants who came to Indonesia during the Dutch colonial period.
Not only Siomay, Palembang's typical Pempek has also made it into the Taste Atlas list of the top five most delicious snacks in the world. The food that occupies fourth position is made from mackerel fish and is served with cuko.
According to Taste Atlas, the presence of pempek originated from the people of Palembang in ancient times who were bored with the usual fried or grilled fish dishes. Starting from boredom, a new innovation emerged which was grinding fish meat and mixing it with tapioca flour.
“As time goes by, pempek is known as a snack worthy of praise and is now considered a traditional Indonesian food,” wrote Taste Atlas, quoted Tuesday (23/4/2024).
Apart from typical Indonesian food, the list of the top 20 tastiest snacks in the world is also dominated by Mexican specialties consisting of various types of Tacos.
