Many people like Mie Ayam

It's no longer a secret that Mie Ayam is very popular with many people, its unique taste and affordable price make this food so popular. It's just that, many people have other opinions besides the opinion above. Whatever it is, let's discuss it one by one.

First, this food is an amalgamation of two different cultures. Noodles are the staple food of the Chinese community (besides rice), this is because China can grow wheat as food. From the 17th century until the early 20th century, many immigrants from China came to Java (especially in Semarang) to trade. Once immigrants arrived in Java, they began to introduce their food, one of which was Mie.

Second, the noodles that are usually consumed by immigrants (Chinese) usually use pork, so why replace it with chicken in Indonesia. Of course, we can answer this one question, there is an extraordinary difference between these two cultures (Javanese and Chinese), one of which is the culture of the Chinese community who usually consumes pork, while the Javanese people do not eat pork because of religious influences. Finally, the local people changed the Pig to Chicken. Because of this localization, the noodles that should use pork were changed and replaced with chicken meat.

Third, the many variations of Mie Ayam make this food can be enjoyed by anyone, I often encounter Mie Ayam with different versions, the most obvious difference being Mie Ayam sweet and Mie Ayam savory (salty). There are also other quite striking differences, for example, sometimes I find a different way of processing chicken stews.

This difference is not rare, I can find differences in many places, let alone two different areas, and sometimes I can find differences in the same area. This is what makes Mie Ayam can be enjoyed by many people, its varied taste can spoil the tongue of many people. So that people can choose the version they like.

Those are three factors that I think are the reason why Mie Ayam is so popular. Of course, the filling and cheap factors are still the main factors.

Mie Ayam will probably continue to be popular with many people in the future, especially Mie Ayam is comfort food so it is suitable for many people, hopefully, with this, we will all know more about something that we did not know before, this food that is often enjoyed, namely Mie Ayam.
