Many things can only be found in a particular place. Just like the different types of food each region. This is due to various factors such as culture, customs, religion, and others. On this occasion, I gather a variety of foods that can add to your insight. And maybe also just find in Toraja area. Here is the list of foods in question:

1). Pa'tong or RW
Pa'tong or RW is actually a meat-based dish. But because the word "dog meat" is too "hard" to agree to give him the name Pa'tong or RW (taken from the term in the Community Manado). This food becomes one of the favorite menu, which may be considered the menu "HOT" by the outside community. Not all Torajans eat Pa'tong, one of the reasons for disgust. Usually dog meat cooked dry with galangal with additional spices according to taste.
