Origin

Pempek is the best-known of Palembang's dishes.^[2] Its origin is undoubtly Palembang, however the history behind the creation of this savoury dish is unclear. According to local tradition, around the 16th century there was an old Chinese immigrant who lived near the Musi river. He noticed an abundance of fish caught by the local fishermen. In the Sumatran tropical climate, before the invention of refrigeration technology, most of these unsold leftover fish decayed and were wasted. The indigenous people, however had limited knowledge and techniques for processing fish. During that period, most of the indigenous people simply grilled, fried or boiled their fish instead of adding other ingredients to make new dishes. The old Chinese man mixed in some tapioca and other spices, which he then sold around the village on his cart. The people referred to this old man as 'pek-apek, where apek is a Chinese slang word to call an old man. The food is known today as empek-empek or pempek.

Another theory suggests that pempek was a Palembang adaptation of Southern Chinese ngo hiang or kekkian (fish slice) as asurimi (魚漿, yújiāng) based food. But instead of being served in soup or plainly fried, pempek is notable for its spicy palm sugar-vinegar based sauce.

1.      History Of Bandung City

Bandung (Indonesian: Kota Bandung) is the capital of West Java province in Indonesia, the country's third largest city by population, and second largest metropolitan area in Indonesia^{[citation needed]} with a population of 2.4 million in 2010. Located 768 metres (2,520 ft) above sea level, approximately 140 kilometres (87 miles) south east of Jakarta, Bandung has cooler temperatures year-round than most other Indonesian cities. The city lies on a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. This topography provides a good natural defense system, which was the primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government's plan to move the colony capital from Batavia to Bandung.

The Dutch colonials first established tea plantations around the mountains in the eighteenth century, and a road was constructed to connect the plantation area to the capital (180 kilometres (112 miles) to the northwest). The Dutch inhabitants of the city demanded establishment of a municipality (gemeente), which was granted in 1906, and Bandung gradually developed itself into a resort city for plantation owners. Luxurious hotels, restaurants, cafes and European boutiques were opened, hence the city was nicknamed Parijs van Java (Dutch: "The Paris of Java").

Since Indonesia achieved independence in 1945, the city has experienced rapid development and urbanisation, transforming Bandung from idyllic town into a dense 16,500 people/km² metropolitan area, a living space for over 2 million people. Natural resources have been exploited excessively, particularly by conversion of protected upland area into highland villas and real estate. Although the city has encountered many problems (ranging from waste disposal, floods to chaotic traffic system, etc.), Bandung still attracts immigrants and weekend travelers.

3.      History Of Tangerang City

Tangerang is a city in the Province of Banten, Indonesia. It is located about 25 km west of Jakarta. It is the third largest urban centre in the Jabotabek region after Jakarta and Bekasi, now 6th largest city in the nation. It has an area of 164.54 km² and an official 2010 Census population of 1,797,715,^[2] increasing to 2,001,925 as at 2014^[1] - making it the 8th most populated suburbs in the world at the latter date. The Soekarno-Hatta International Airport which serves metropolitan Jakarta is located within the city.

Overview

Tangerang is an industrial and manufacturing hub on Java and is home to over 1,000 factories. Many international corporations have plants in the city. Tangerang tends to be hot and humid, with little in the way of trees or geographical features. Certain areas consist of swamps, including the areas near the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

In recent years the urban expansion of Jakarta has covered Tangerang, and as a result many of its residents commute to Jakarta for work, or vice-versa. Many high-class and middle-class satellite cities have been developed in Tangerang, complete with their own shopping malls, private schools and convenience centers. The government is working on expanding the highway system to accommodate more traffic flow to and from the area.

Demographics

Tangerang also has a significant community of Chinese Indonesians, many of whom are of Cina Benteng extraction. Benteng means 'fortress' in Indonesian. They were descended from Manchu laborers who were brought there by the Dutch colonials in the 18th and 19th centuries. They are culturally distinct from other Chinese communities in the area: while almost none speak any dialect of Chinese, they are culturally very strongly Daoist and maintain their own places of worship and community centers. They are ethnically mixed.

Some among Benteng Chinese people surnamed 王 " Wang " ( Hokkien : Ong ) are descendants of the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty ( Manchu clan Aisin-Giorio or Aixinjueluo in mandarin ) . They are descendants of the illegitimate son of Qianlong Emperor and a beautiful girl surnamed Ong in Fujian province . Because the Emperor did not want the affair became public , so to hide that fact , the illegitimate son of his relationship was given the surname Wang (王) .

Wang 王( Hokkien : Ong ) is the Chinese character for " king " , which is used by people who are descendants of the ruler , but never in power . Incorrect information stating they use the surname Ong as the mother of an illegitimate child was also surnamed Ong , but actually this is a coincidence . Wang clan name first used by the House of Zi ( ruler of the Shang Dynasty ) , and then by the House of Ji ( ruler of the Zhou Dynasty ) when they are not in power anymore .

Not all Ong clans are descended from Aixinjueluo . Descendants of Qianlong Emperor now use Indonesian name Wangsa Mulya / Wangsa Mulia , to differentiate themselves from other Ong clans . The name itself comes from the Sanskrit language , Wangsa ( dynasty ) , and Majesty ( pure ) , when translated into English becomes " Pure Dynasty " . While the word " Qing " itself means "pure " . So Wangsa Mulia in Sanskrit literally means Qing Dynasty in English.

Over time , most people of Wangsa Mulya families do not realize that they are the descendants of the Qing Dynasty. However, blood and spirit of Qing Empire still flowing in them . They adhere to modern life but remain ultra-conservatives principles such as feudalism and anti - feminism . The latest information states that they inherit a large Landlordship which area is now part of the BSD and Gading Serpong real estate.

A large Chinese cemetery is also located in Tangerang, much of which has now been developed into modern suburban communities such as Lippo Karawaci, Summarecon Gading Serpong, Bumi Serpong Damai, Bintaro Jaya, Modernland, and Alam Sutra.

Most of the Chinatown of Tangerang is located at Sewan, Pasar Lama, Pasar Baru, Benteng Makasar, Kapling, Karawaci (not Lippo Karawaci). One can find any food and all things Chinese there. Lippo Karawaci, Bintaro Jaya, Bumi Serpong Damai and Alam Sutra are new locations of residential places (New Towns). A vast majority of the residents are newcomers, not genuine Benteng Chinese.

 

4.      History Of Surabaya City

Surabaya (Indonesian pronunciation: [surəˈbaja])

(formerly Soerabaja, Soerabaia or Surabaja) is Indonesia's second-largest city with a population of over 3.1 million (5.6 million in the metropolitan area), and the capital of the province of East Java. It is located on the northern shore of eastern Java at the mouth of the Mas River and along the edge of the Madura Strait.

To Indonesians, it is known as "the city of heroes" due to the importance of the Battle of Surabaya in galvanizing Indonesian and international support for Indonesian independence during the Indonesian National Revolution. Surabaya is also known as the birthplace of Indonesia first president, Sukarno.

Etymology

Surabaya is locally believed to derive its name from the words "sura" or "suro" (shark) and "baya" or "boyo" (crocodile), two creatures which, in a local myth, fought each other in order to gain the title of "the strongest and most powerful animal" in the area according to a Jayabaya prophecy. This prophecy tells of a fight between a giant white shark and a giant white crocodile, which sometimes interpreted as a conflict between Mongol forces and Raden Wijaya's Majapahit forces. Now the two animals are used as the city's logo, the two facing each other while circling, as depicted in a statue appropriately located near the entrance to the city zoo. This folk etymology, though embraced enthusiastically by city leaders, is unverifiable.

Alternate derivations proliferate: from the Javanese "sura ing baya", meaning "bravely facing danger"; or from the use of "surya" to refer to the sun. Some people consider this Jayabaya prophecy as a great war between Surabaya native people and invaders in 1945, while another story is about two heroes that fought each other in order to be the king of the city. The two heroes were Sura and Baya.
