The culinary tourism website *Taste Atlas* released a list of the 10 best Southeast Asian foods and drinks in mid-March 2023.

Several Indonesian dishes are included in the list. Nasi Padang ranks highest, topping the list as the tastiest food in Southeast Asia according to *Taste Atlas*, with a score of 4.9 out of 5.

According to *Taste Atlas*, Padang cuisine is characterized by its generous use of spices and seasonings, especially fresh chilies. Padang restaurants are also praised for their unique serving style.

“Servers (at Padang restaurants) typically present rice and various dishes, or à la carte, where customers can choose the dishes they want placed on top of the rice,” *Taste Atlas* stated in its report on Monday, April 10, 2023.

Besides Nasi Padang, other Indonesian culinary products on the list are siomay and pempek.

Although its name is similar to the Chinese dish *siu mai* or *shumai*, siomay is known as a typical Bandung culinary creation combining steamed minced meat with boiled eggs, cabbage, potatoes, bitter melon, and peanut sauce.

Pempek, a specialty of Palembang, is a mixture of fish and flour batter served with *cuko* or vinegar sauce. Siomay and pempek received the same score as Thailand's *Thai iced tea*.

*Taste Atlas* is a Croatian culinary website that reviews traditional dishes and authentic restaurants. It has reviewed over 10,000 foods and drinks from various countries.

Here is the complete list of the 10 best foods and drinks in Southeast Asia according to *Taste Atlas*:

1. Nasi Padang (Indonesia): 4.9 points
2. Phanaeng Curry (Thailand): 4.8 points
3. Roti Canai (Malaysia): 4.8 points
