MATARAM NTB
HISTORY
In Lombok, the
name Mataram is mentioned in various ways. Some call it Mataram, Metaram,
Mentaram, or Mataharam. Some literature also mentions that the word Mataram
comes from Sanskrit from the word mata meaning mother and aram which means
entertainment. In addition, it is also mentioned that Mataram means an offering
to the motherland. Another version says that Mataram comes from the word matta
which means joy or passion and aram which means entertainment. Thus, matta-aram
or Mataram means the construction of a kingdom or city as a symbol of the expression
of the joy of entertainment as well as a symbol of the excitement of life to
build a land of hope that promises a brighter future.
In the
Chronicle of Lombok, there is an expedition to conquer the Nusa Tenggara
region. This expedition was led by Sunan Prapen who departed with missionaries
and his fleet supported by dozens of ships with 10 thousand troops from areas
on the island of Java such as Mataram, Majalengka, Madura, Sumenep, Surabaya,
Semarang, Gresik, Besuki Gembong, Candi, Betawi and others. They were led by
leaders such as Arya Majalengka, Queens of Madura and Sumenep, Duke of
Surabaya, Duke of Semarang, Patih Ki Jaya Lengkara, and Raden Kusuma Betawi.

Province, Mataram City has a strategic value to the surrounding districts.
FOOD &

The most
famous Mataram specialties include:
Taliwang
Chicken
Taliwang
chicken was first introduced by the cook of the Sultan of Sumbawa who was
placed in Lombok during the time of the King of Karangasem.
The basic
ingredients use young free-range chicken, so the meat is tender and easy to
separate from the bones.
The choice can
be grilled or fried, then seasoned with special seasoning ingredients that are
processed, including dry red chili, onion, garlic, tomato, fried shrimp paste,
kencur, brown sugar, and salt.
Mataram
special satay
Mataram also
has a culinary master of satay. Not only one type of satay, this city which is
famous for Lombok has at least three types of satay which are its specialties.
The three
types of satay are Sate Beluyak, Sate Tanjung, and Sate Rembiga. What
distinguishes these three types of satay is the basic ingredients of the meat.
Beberuk Terong
Beberuk Terong
is generally also used as fresh vegetables and as a complement to Taliwang
Chicken. As the name suggests, this dish is made from purple eggplant which is
cut into small pieces. The eggplant is mixed with tomatoes and various other
spices such as shallots, tomatoes, cayenne pepper, salt, sugar, oil, and water.
After mixing,
the Beberuk Terong is doused with lime juice. The various tastes such as spicy,
sweet, and sour make this dish suitable to be eaten during the day because of
the freshness of the ingredients.
As for the
typical Mataram drinks, the most famous are:
Ginger Sherbet
From the name
alone we already know that this drink comes from ginger which is rich in
benefits. This drink is believed to reduce inflammation, lose weight, improve
blood circulation, relieve nausea, and warm the body when it's cold. Not only
ginger, this drink has added brown sugar. So that it can create a sweet, warm,
fresh taste and of course very delicious when you taste it.
Bird's nest
ice
Bird's nest
ice is one of the typical drinks of Nusa Tenggara that you must try. Not only
delicious, but also this bird's nest ice is definitely very refreshing.
The name
itself comes from its shape which is indeed like a bird's nest. This ice is
made from shaved jelly so that it looks like a bird's nest at first glance.
Other
additional ingredients include lychee fruit, syrup, basil seeds, ice cubes, and
water. This ice is very refreshing so it is perfect to quench your thirst after
traveling.
BREM
This drink is
very similar to alcohol and is often served during traditional events in Nusa
Tenggara.
Similar does
not mean the same, this drink does not include alcoholic beverages. This drink
comes from fermented glutinous rice so it can give a fresh taste.
But it is also
possible that there are also Brem containing alcohol. This is because when the
fermentation process takes too long, the sticky rice will produce alcohol.

Ethnicity and Race
Sasak tribe
Quoting from
the book Introduction to Sasambo written by Bunyamin published by the Ministry
of Education and Culture of the Language Development and Development Agency,
the Sasak tribe is one of the oldest tribes in Indonesia. The name Sasak,
according to the oral tradition of this tribe, comes from the word sa'-saq
which means 'the one'. This name can not be separated from Lombok from the word
lomboq which means 'straight'.
The Sasak
people are still thick with their local wisdom. Uniquely, there is a tradition
of 'elopement' or known as the Merarik tradition. This tradition is carried out
when the couple who are about to get married and like each other. Together with
relatives, the groom will 'kidnap' the bride and leave it to the man's family.
Samawa Tribe
The Samawa
people who speak the Samawa language use this regional language in their daily
life. In a few words in the Samawa language, it is an absorption from ethnic
Javanese, Madurese, Balinese, Sasak, Bima, Sulawesi, Sumatran, Kalimantan,
Chinese, and Arabic. During the colonial period, this language also absorbed
foreign vocabulary from Portuguese, Dutch, and Japanese.

Jereweh, and Tongo dialects. This tribe calls itself the Tau Samawa.
Mbojo Suku
The Mbojo
tribe, also known as the Bima tribe, has many similarities with Ancient
Makassar. The reason is found similarities in both characters. If we examine
the roots, the Sanskrit script can be ascertained as the origin. Since the 17th
century, in the historical records of the Bima Bo Sangaji Kai Kingdom, the
Mbajo script was mostly written in Arabic and Malay.
Based on
language and race, this tribe is divided into two groups, namely the Old Bima
(Mbojo ma Ntoi) and the New Bima (Mbojo 'Bou). The Bima Lama language, including
the Donggo language, includes Donggo Ipa, Donggo Ele, and Donggo Kolo.
