Transcripts

(MUSIC)

Pedas yang membuat lidah membara rasa manis yang mengesankan seakan ada di surga

aroma rempah-rempah yang menggetarkan selera

ribuan makanan dan minuman lezat menyebar di pulau-pulau antara dua samudra

ya, Inilah kita

INDONESIA:)

tapi tak seperti Jepang yang punya sushi India yang punya kari dan Italia dengan pizza dan spaghetti

tidak ada makanan Indonesia yang mendunia

mungkin karena Kita sendirilah yang melupakannya

maka inilah seri

Nusantarasa untuk menggali setiap rasa dari setiap masakan Indonesia yang punya cerita yang berbeda

rahasia apa yang tersembunyi dibalik kelezatannya

inilah Dia rasa Kuliner Nusantara

tidak ada negara yang memiliki ragam kuliner sekaya kita

bermacam hidangan Nusantara jadi cerminan betapa beragamnya negeri kita

keragaman yang bukan hanya di alam tapi juga pada manusianya

riwayat budaya

agama

politik

hingga kisah penaklukan di masa silap semua berperan besar di setiap citarasa Kuliner Nusantara

Ayo kita telusuri jejaknya

Dahulu ada satu tujuan yang diincar di seluruh dunia

tak disangka tempat itu adalah Timur Indonesia para penjelajah menuju Maluku dan Maluku Utara

tanah surga tumbuhnya rempah-rempah

dari sanalah orang-orang kemudian berlayar ke Jawa para pedagang Arab menetap di pesisir Utara

sedang Selatan Jawa masih erat dengan Belanda

tempat yang bertanah basah dihujani keringat warga yang menjalani tanam paksa

padi mereka direnggut hanya disisakan tebu dan gula

lalu di Utara Sumatera tempat pedagang Cina seringkali

bersinggah ada satu tanaman unik yang ratusan tahun membentuk selera pedas warga

dan tak jauh dari sana

Aceh jadi Pelabuhan penghubung Maluku dengan para pedagang asing

menjawab misteri dibalik masakan Masakannya yang kayak bumbu

meskipun tak ada rempah yang tumbuh di tanahnya sendiri

Gerbang masuk Nusantara tak hanya di Maluku dan Aceh

ada Sumatera Barat yang juga melahirkan jiwa-jiwa perantau

dan karenanya butuh masakan yang bisa bertahan lama menemani perjalanan

beralih ke seberang lautan ada tempat singgah lain orang Spanyol dan Portugis dari Maluku

Sulawesi Utara

tapi dari besarnya jalur Niaga rempah ini pun ada daerah yang tidak tersentuh olehnya di pedalaman Kalimantan

tempat satu para penguasa alam

suku Dayak

ribuan tahun tinggal di dalamnya tak ada yang lebih mengenal hutan daripada mereka

mereka pun memasak dengan bumbu-bumbu yang berbeda dari yang biasa dipakai seluruh dunia

zaman telah berganti kisah panjang lahirnya masakan-masakan yang sering kita jumpai kini telah bercampur dengan kemajuan zaman

kini kisah panjang itu terancam menjadi sebatas legenda

karena nyatanya sedikit kesadaran kita untuk mencatat Launcher it akan kembali kekayaan Kuliner Nusantara

sedikit kesadaran kita untuk memisahkannya lebih dari sekedar resep dan hidangan di atas meja

padahal tanpa mencatatnya cerita tentang bagaimana sebuah masakan muncul di masa lalu bagaimana mereka berubah dan berkembang

akan lebur bersama waktu

Semua akan terkubur ditelan roda zaman yang terus melaju

pada akhirnya resep semua masakan kita ada dari nenek moyang

tugas kita adalah mempertahankan

kualitas itu semua bahkan mengembangkan

resep-resep turunan hingga bisa lebih baik tugas kita menjaga semua ini turun-temurun sampai ribuan tahun lagi

itulah mengapa kau bisa akan menyajikan Nusantara saat sebuah serial tentang kisah kuliner dari ujung barat sampai timur Indonesia dan

kita enggak sendiri Kita akan berkolaborasi dengan chef keren satu ini
