MALUKU AND PAPUA SPECIAL DISHES


SPECIAL DISHES FROM MALUKU AND PAPUA !

Introduction to MALUKU AND PAPUA:)) 
The Province of Maluku is blessed with fabulous sea gardens, idyllic, tropical beaches and spectacular landscapes rich with an enormous variety of endemic plant and animal species. Maluku is also remarkable in that it lies across the most visible zone of transition between Asian and Australian fauna and flora, and also because of its Malay-based cultures of western Indonesia and Melanesia. While, Papua is a land of exceptional natural grandeur. Its jungles are among the wildest, most impenetrable in the world. Eternal snow capped mountain ridges more than 5,000 meters high, with walls plunge hundreds of meters down onto floors filled with small glacier lakes. It has scenic beaches in abundance as well as immense stretches of marshlands. Cool grassy meadows lie at the foot of the towering mountains. Rivers cut through dark forests until their sluggish, crocodile infested mouths disgorge the water into the sea.

11.   Papeda is sago porridge that made from sago-flour. It looks like glue. Sago-flour usually is made by the natives of Papua. It is made from trunk of sago tree (Metroxylon sago Rottb.).That is why sago-flour contains much carbohydrate.


2.     Asida is made from wheat flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon powder mixed with a little cardamom. Asid sometimes served at a particular event.

Good Afternoon,

My name is Layse Farias and I am a program assistant at the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO). I am writing to you because I would like to ask you for your support with a project our organization is developing.

Let me first explain the situation to you. UNPO is a membership organization. Our members are unrecognized nations, minorities and indigenous peoples around the world. Because the current situation of many of our members is not well publicized in the media, we are developing several projects to promote their cause. One of them is a Cook Book, in which we hope to gather traditional recipes from the regions our members come from.

South Moluccas has been a member of the UNPO since 1991. Ever since then, we have cooperated in several projects together to promote their cause and guarantee better conditions for their people. We would like to include a Papeda recipe in our book, as we were told this is the staple dish of Maluku people. The only problem is that we are not able to hire a professional photographer to take the pictures for us, which is why we are looking for photographers who would be willing to cede us the right to use their pictures for our book. We found your picture very nice and would like to ask you if you could help us by allowing us to use it in the UNPO Cook Book. We would also certainly make sure you get proper accreditation for your picture.

Please let us know what you think by replying to my UNPO email address: l.farias@unpo.org

If you would like to find out more about our organization, you can visit our website at: www.unpo.org or our facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/UNPO/393260647387831?ref=hl

Kind regards,

Layse Farias
