INDO 1011
Food of Kalimantan

In Kalimantan, Indonesia, there are very unique and specific culinary traditions that
play a dynamic part in the island’s rich culture. In the highlands of Toraja, Kalimantan, it
is not uncommon to witness large feasting rituals involving the sacrificing of cattle for
the purpose of “redrawing social status lines.” The distribution of the animal depends on
the class or social standing of an individual within the community and often inherited
lineage and family history play an intricate role in this. Three delicious sounding
Indonesian food recipes which I found to be native of Kalimantan are Dayak-Style
Shrimp, Fresh Vegetable Saute and Sayur Asam Kutai. These recipes sound delicious and
are making me hungry just thinking about them!
