Ah Lian: “Eh, I’m thinking to go for a trip leh, go Tioman or Rendang better?”

Ah Huey: “I think Rendang is better.”

Obviously these 2 young chicks don’t know the correct pronunciation and spelling of Redang island. Never mind, let’s do some learning here.

Redang Island, locally known as Pulau Redang or just “Redang” is one of the largest and most beautiful of the islands off the east coast of Malaysia. It is a popular holiday island for Malaysians, most of whom come on package deals to one of the resorts. Redang is one of nine islands, which form a marine park, and which offer snorkeling and diving opportunities.

Rendang is a dish which originated from the Minangkabau people of Indonesia. It is one of the characteristic foods of the Minangkabau culture, and it is served at ceremonial occasions and to honor guests. Being also popular in Malaysia and Singapore, rendang is traditionally prepared by the Malay community during festive occasions. Though rendang is sometimes described as being like a curry, and the name is sometimes applied to curried meat dishes in Malaysia, authentic rendang is nothing like a curry and doesn’t contain curry powder.

Class dismissed.
