About this dish

It is a staple food of the people indigenous to Eastern Indonesia, namely parts of Sulawesi, the Maluku Islands and coastal Papua. It is also widespread in Papua New Guinea and serves as the counterpart to central and western Indonesian cuisines that favour rice as their staple food. Papeda is of Ambon Malay origin and attested in Vocabularium ofte Woort-boeck (1623) by Dutch clergymen Caspar Wiltens and Sebastiaan Danckaerts.
