The typical food of Surabaya is indeed appetizing with pasta in every processed dish. Because of this, many tourists, both domestic and foreign, like food.
History of Shrimp Petis in Indonesia, which is made from small shrimp or known as rebon. Petis made from shrimp is called shrimp paste. But there are also petis made from fish, and in other places petis are also made from beef.
As an authentic Indonesian cuisine, Petis holds a 'mystery' about its origin. There are several versions that explain the origin of petis. One of Cirebon's chronic literature explains, petis has existed since the days of Padjajaran.
Precisely when Prince Walangsungsang or known as Prince Cakrabuana was crowned. King Padjajaran who was the son of King Siliwangi ruled around the 14th century AD. That means you need to buy 600 years.
At that time the Cairebon Kuwu (like Cirebon in the past) offered the catch of the fishermen in the northern region of Cirebon to the king, as a form of respect for the country. Tribute consists of boiled boiled shrimp.
The water left over from the decoction is then processed into pasta. Produced petis in the future with the initial consideration with the beginning of shrimp paste, because the shrimp log submitted to the king is then referred to as shrimp paste, provided that the word is sour which means it is shaken.
Viewed from the origin of the city of Cirebon which used to be called Cairebon, which consists of two words namely Cai which means air and rebon which means small shrimp. From this literature it can be concluded that Petis is indeed from Cirebon.
Sources are quoted from the origin of the Pantura ship, most of the Sidoarjo region which has been known as a producer of petis. Initially it was destroyed similar to what happened in Cirebon, all because of an accident.
That's when the fishermen beat the catch, so there is an idea to boil the catch so that it will last longer. From the situation, it turns out that it can produce a by-product in the form of boiled water. Then the cooking water was given spices by the fishermen's wives, from where petis began to appear.
In Sidoarjo itself the basic ingredients are making different containers with pasta in other regions. In Sidoarjo petis is made from kupang (Corbula Faba) or a small shell. This is different from Cirebon paste made from the basic ingredients of rebon shrimp.
Petis inherits to Indonesia The origin of petis is not important. Usually petis has become a type of culinary specialty, which exists in Indonesia, in contrast to trasi (competitive products) which is also known in the Southeast Asia region.
Petis has enriched Indonesian cuisine, plus spices made for several food menus such as cingur salad, chicken spices, and other menus. In addition, petis is suitable for eating fried foods.
This paste is far better than tomatoes, plus if you see ingredients that are rich in protein. This petis is a substitute for sausage and mayonnaise, not a bond due to cultural ties, but the preparation of the paste is indeed much higher than mayonnaise sausage. Let's preserve local cuisine.
