Chicken Rendang

Love the colors and spicy thick sauce, that can only be achieved through simmering slowly for a long period of time until tender and the meat almost falls off the bones. I've been eating this at cafeteria and intrigued with what Rendang means so here it is:
Rendang is a spicy meat dish which originated from the Minangkabau ethnic group of Indonesia, and is now commonly served across the country. One of the characteristic foods of Minangkabau culture, it is served at ceremonial occasions and to honour guests. Also popular in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the southern Philippines and southern Thailand, rendang is traditionally prepared by the Indonesian community during festive occasions.
