JAKARTA - After nine days in the Holy Land, presenter Ruben Onsu finally returned to Indonesia. However, there is one thing he immediately looked for when he arrived in his homeland, namely his favorite food.
Not a fancy meal, Ruben actually admitted that he was very "hungry" to eat Nasi Padang.
"I want to eat Nasi Padang!" he said enthusiastically.
This longing arose because during his stay in Mecca and Medina, he could not find the typical Minang dish. In fact, according to him, almost all other types of Indonesian food are available there.
"Because there I got Gado-gado, all Indonesian food is there, there is black squid, and it tastes the same," he said.
"What I didn't get was Nasi Padang, from yesterday I was looking for Nasi Padang, I didn't get it," he complained.
Ruben's love for Nasi Padang shows another side that is "grassroots". Behind his image as a top artist, his taste is still the taste of Nusantara.
In addition to Nasi Padang, he also has a mandatory menu during the fasting month. He is well aware that during fasting, often only "hungry eyes".
"Anyway, I think the most important thing is kolak, dates are mandatory," he said.
"Usually when fasting, the fuss is at the beginning, then if you eat, you only eat a drop and you are full," he said.
