Cédric and Ochi Vongerichten, the power couple behind the two popular NYC restaurants Wayan and Ma·dé, are thrilled to introduce a beloved form of dining from Indonesia to their second popular restaurant Ma·dé Padang style dining. Originating in the coastal Indonesian province of West Sumatra, Padang style of dining is omnipresent in cities across Indonesia and in neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Singapore. Various dishes are served family-style all at once, often on a long table, to be shared communally and eaten with the hands, although the use of a fork and spoon is acceptable as well. Influenced by Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine, Padang dishes consist of three main elements: gulai (curry), lado (chili pepper), and bareh (rice), and often uses coconut milk and spicy chili, creating a symphony of bold flavors. All spreads contain a main protein, rice, and accompanying vegetable and meat/egg/seafood dishes.
