Gorontalese cuisine or Gorontalo cuisine is the traditional cuisine of the Gorontalese People of Gorontalo Peninsula, North Sulawesi island, Indonesia.[1] It is also known as Hulontalo cuisine by perantauan (migrating) Gorontalo people after "Hulontalo", the name for Gorontalo in the local language.
Gorontalese cuisine is known for its fresh seafood, which is prepared using a full palette of spices and herbs.[2]
The strategic location of Gorontalo–which has the Celebes Sea and Pacific Ocean to its north and the Gulf of Tomini to its south–made the Gorontalo region a strategic shipping route in the past. This history has formed the roots of a unique and distinctive culture in Gorontalo, including its unique dishes.
Along with the division of Gorontalo into a province and its separation from North Sulawesi, Gorontalo's cuisine has become increasingly popular and well-recognized as part of Indonesia's national culinary heritage.[3]
