- [Five Tropical Birds Every Traveler Should Know](https://jungledispatch.com/five-tropical-birds-every-traveler-should-know/): From hornbills to hummingbirds, the tropics may be separated by oceans, but their forests are filled with familiar characters. Learn five bird families and you'll never walk through a tropical landscape the same way again.
- [Everything the Crepe Wishes It Was, the Dosa Already Is](https://jungledispatch.com/everything-the-crepe-wishes-it-was-the-dosa-already-is/): The dosa has anchored South Indian breakfasts for over two thousand years. The crepe is younger, flatter, and considerably more celebrated. One of these facts deserves correcting.
- [The Original Upcyclers](https://jungledispatch.com/the-original-upcyclers/): We meet the Sundanese of West Java, Indonesia to better understand how the byproducts of tofu and peanut oil production are upcycled into a highly bioavailable protein.
- [The Land That Gave Us Quinoa](https://jungledispatch.com/the-land-that-gave-us-quinoa/): The story of the Indigenous cultures of the Altiplano and their battle with the West over quinoa.
- [A Day in the Life of Mbok Jamu](https://jungledispatch.com/a-day-in-the-life-of-mbok-jamu/): A celebration of the women that prepare and deliver the jamu across Indonesia.
- [The Resistance Tasting Menu: Afro-Caribbean Cuisine](https://jungledispatch.com/the-resistance-tasting-menu-afro-caribbean-cuisine/): For our very first Resistance Tasting Menu, we've put together 14 courses highlighting the unheralded Afro-Caribbean cuisine.
- [The Flower That Bites Back](https://jungledispatch.com/the-flower-that-bites-back/): Examining the culinary mistake 19th-century European botanists made by treating torch ginger as a decoration.
- [Beware of Colonizers Bearing Gifts](https://jungledispatch.com/beware-of-colonizers-bearing-gifts/): How a collection of starchy roots became part of the West African cultural firmament.
- [The Islands that Bought Manhattan](https://jungledispatch.com/the-islands-that-bought-manhattan/): The story of nutmeg, cloves, and the regenerative agricultural practices that helped them thrive.
- [The Calendar That Connects Half a Continent](https://jungledispatch.com/the-calendar-that-connects-half-a-continent/): While much of the world rang in the New Year four months ago, a billion people across South and Southeast Asia celebrated it yesterday — and they have astronomy on their side. April 14th marks the New Year across several South and Southeast Asian countries and cultures. While most of the world uses the Gregorian calendar, introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, much of tropical Asia relies on a lunisolar calendar, a system devised by Indian astronomers thousands of years ago to calculate the dates of key festivals, harvests, and auspicious dates. The lunisolar year is approximately 365 days long…
- [The Death (and Return) of the Rijsttafel](https://jungledispatch.com/the-death-and-return-of-the-rijsttafel/): For centuries, Rijsttafel sat at the apex of the Indonesian food hierarchy. Certainly, as far as the archipelago’s Dutch colonial rulers were concerned, the extravagant rice table — with up to 40 dishes served with piles of fragrant white rice — was the Indonesian food experience. The dishes were a literal procession of ingredients from across the vast archipelago.Unctuous coconut milk-infused opor ayam, crunchy kerupuk crackers, spiced rendangs, lighter chap chays, and endless sambals as sides. Cardamom, clove, pandan, nutmeg, galanga, star anise, soy sauce, lemongrass, coconut — the wealth and bounty of the empire was laid out for colonial officials,…
- [The Mystery of Venezuelan Cocoa - Part 1](https://jungledispatch.com/mystery-venezuelan-cocoa-part-one/): The world's best cocoa comes from a land that barely produces chocolate.
- [The Breadfruit Heist](https://jungledispatch.com/the-breadfruit-heist/): Hollywood’s romanticized epic of colonial misadventure isn’t the full story. We dig deep to find out what the mutiny on the HMS Bounty was really about.
- [Can you love your coloniser?](https://jungledispatch.com/can-you-love-your-coloniser/): Can you love your coloniser? The pain inflicted by colonialism can’t really be enumerated. In many ways, it defies description. People lost lives, land, dignity, and perhaps worst of all, identity. Whole regions were starved and millions enslaved. Entire nations and civilisations collapsed. In order to bring all this about, large swathes of humanity were subjected to humiliation, torture, and extraction on an unprecedented scale. The world as we know it was shaped to its core by colonialism. The hierarchy that emerged from that system placed the coloniser on top, and the people of the Global South at the bottom. The…
- [Dreaming of a Tropical Christmas](https://jungledispatch.com/dreaming-of-a-tropical-christmas/): Much of the world has been sold a very specific version of Christmas: snowy lanes, cozy fireplaces, and a guy in a heavy red suit flying out of the North Pole. But for the millions of us living in the tropical region, December isn’t about freezing temperatures. It’s about peak humidity, blazing sunshine, and sweating through your best outfit. The winter aesthetic might look good on a card, but the reality here is a whole lot brighter and louder. In the tropics, we live Christmas outside. In the streets, on the beaches, in the markets. From the historic Fanti carnival in…
- [From The Jungle Book to Raya and the Last Dragon: Animation and the Tropics](https://jungledispatch.com/from-the-jungle-book-to-raya-and-the-last-dragon-animation-and-the-tropics/): Animation is an undervalued art form in many aspects, being snubbed both by social culture and during formal accolades; you can’t tell me that Dreamworks’ The Wild Robot (2024) belongs in the same category as Ghost in the Shell (1995) or Satoshi Kon’s Tokyo Godfathers (2003).  This art form is wildly experimental in many aspects, not bound by the rules of gravity and the physicality of the human body. From the expressions of characters, movement or positions of the camera, exaggeration of colours, and the outlandish rules of the fantasy universe; there is nothing too unrealistic or unbelievable when it comes…
- [Tempe-tation: Tempe World’s Domination](https://jungledispatch.com/tempe-tation-tempe-worlds-domination/): If you are part of the (or is close to someone of the) vegan community, you might have noticed that tempeh is strutting its stuff and popping up on plates around the globe. True fermented phenomenon! As an Indonesian, tempeh is as common as a burger for Americans, kimchi for Koreans or pizza for Italians. Okay you get the point. So when I hear the word ‘tempe’, I don’t do as much as bat a single eye. My love-and-hate connection with Tempeh deserves its own post, but I will emphasize that as I grow older (and researched for this blogpost), I…
- [Coconut Oil: The Comeback Kid of the Pantry](https://jungledispatch.com/coconut-oil-the-comeback-kid-of-the-pantry/): Remember when coconut oil was the health villain everyone loved to hate? For years, it seemed like this tropical staple—once revered for its versatility in kitchens and beauty routines across the globe—couldn’t catch a break. Nutritionists shunned it, doctors warned against it, and we dutifully swapped it out for bottles of heart-healthy vegetable oil. But these days, if you take a peek inside any well-stocked pantry or beauty cabinet, coconut oil is back. So, how did this maligned ingredient go from culinary outcast to modern-day essential?  From Hero to Zero: The Fall of Coconut Oil Let’s rewind. For centuries, coconut oil…
- [Jungle Kitchen's DILF Awards: Your Tropical DILF and what food we think you'd like from their country.](https://jungledispatch.com/jungle-kitchens-dilf-awards-your-tropical-dilf-and-what-food-we-think-youd-like-from-their-country/): We know what you’re here for….a meal recommendation, of course! Why else did you click on this article? Totally not for the handsome, tanned, and hot (no pun intended) DILFs the tropics has to offer. We have to maintain some decorum, right? To convince my editor to post this, I have to, of course relate this to food in some form or another, so while you’re here perusing, let me recommend some food I think both you and your chosen TDILF (Tropical Dad I’d Like To ….) would enjoy, trademark pending.  In honour of archivedilfs’ yearly ranking awards, we decided to…
- [Plant-Powered Lattes: Why are Indonesians So Obsessed with Vegan Coffee?](https://jungledispatch.com/plant-based-coffee-trend-in-indonesia/): In a country where lattes fuel the beating heart of its people, it’s about time they include a healthier alternative. Indonesia is a nation where coffee isn’t just a drink, it’s a ritual, and sweet teas are more than refreshments—they’re a way of life. From the bustling street vendors to serene mountain cafes, the love for cold brews and sugary sips runs deep, fueling a culture where every cup tells an exciting story…. but, where does vegan coffee fit into all this? What drives Indo’s Coffee Culture to try Plant-based? Well first, plant-based alternatives offer unique flavors and textures, adding a…
- [Rice Dating Simulator: Let's Date Variations of Rice](https://jungledispatch.com/the-bachelorice-dating-the-variations-of-rice/): Rice is such an interesting staple main that we don’t talk about enough. How many dishes are there in the world from numerous cultures that use rice or consume rice on a daily? Did you know that there are thousands of rice varieties found across different regions? If you don’t believe us, Google it. But today, we’re not going to bore you with listing out all the varieties. Instead, we’re playing a game of the Bachelorette but instead of tall, white men, the contestants are personified types of rice cultivars, and YOU, dear reader, are subjected to the role of the…
- [Why are we laughing at chicken?: Chinese Buddhist Mock Meat](https://jungledispatch.com/why-are-we-laughing-at-chicken-chinese-buddhist-mock-meat/): Chinese mock meat is an intriguing ingredient, almost artistic in its conception. How does one turn seitan (wheat gluten), tofu, and general plant-based proteins into something that resembles, tastes, feels, and looks like…meat?  Now, despite the fact that there are numerous cultures and Western versions of the ‘fake alternative meat’ variation, the Chinese or Buddhist mock meats are some of the most interesting. Historically, Buddhist monks in China are credited for the creation of mock meats by, well, mocking meat! While the monks subscribed to the traditional vegetarian lifestyle, following the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism to not consume meat or fish…
- [Cooking in the Tropics](https://jungledispatch.com/cooking-in-the-tropics/): I’ve been living and traveling in the tropics for about 13 years – in and around Southeast Asia, to now in Sri Lanka, and the food is some of the most exciting, inventive, and downright brilliant in the world.  Spices, flavours, textures, and the heat that the chilis bring is one of the reasons I have spent most of my adult life here. Food is not only important, it is the best way to appreciate and experience cultures that are not your own. Noodle soups and curries, tropical salads and the sweetest fruit, rice prepared 1000 ways, and the list goes…
- [Keep it in the (Jackfruit) family: Chataigne!](https://jungledispatch.com/keep-it-in-the-jackfruit-family-chataigne/): On one leg of my nomadic life journey, I moved to Singapore and lived there for several years. From day 1, I could not help but notice the similarities between this Southeast Asian country and my Caribbean home-country of Trinidad and Tobago. There was something in the air… dense and humid; greenery everywhere, making its presence felt even in the heart of the city. And the food! I found so many of my childhood staples readily available in supermarkets and local food stalls. Vegetables (zaboca – avocado), fruits (five fingers – star fruit), beverages (sorrel – roselle). The connections between Asia…
- [The Asam Archives](https://jungledispatch.com/the-asam-archives/): We love Asam Pedas. No, you don’t get it, we love Asam Pedas. It’s not exactly a unique, quirky character trait, since we share the same sentiment with about 34 million other people in Malaysia. If you know a Malaysian or someone who grew up in Indonesia or Singapore, chances are they grew up eating some variation of this dish. And yes– some variation; we’ll explain this in a little bit. The origin of Asam Pedas is said to be from the Malay communities in the Malay Archipelago, (which includes parts of Malaysia and Singapore) and the Minangkabau cuisine from the…
- [Three Southeast Asian dishes that taught me to love eating herbs](https://jungledispatch.com/three-southeast-asian-dishes-that-taught-me-to-love-eating-herbs/): These regional dishes changed my perspective – and palate – on herbs forever. When I was young, I thought of herbs merely as decorations. I blame the Chinese restaurants for that one – it seemed like their signature to crown just about any dish with little sprigs of coriander, yet nobody ever ate the coriander. Therefore, it was obviously not very important. Then I grew older, and my outlook on fresh herbs turned increasingly negative. I was firmly in the ‘tastes like soap’ camp on raw coriander. Pungent garlic chives did nothing for me in otherwise perfectly good fried eggs. And…
