Abstract
One of the typical foods of China, known as bakpao in Indonesia, has the name Roubao (Hanzi: ⾁包) in Chinese language. The word
“Roubao” is taken from the Hokkien language spoken by most Chinese people in Indonesia. “Pao” can be interpreted as a package, and “bak”
means meat. Bakpao can be interpreted as a package filled with meat. In general, dumplings contain pork because we know that most Chinese people
eat pork. But the meaning of "Bak" does not mean pork, but meat. The term pork if interpreted in Mandarin is "Tie Bak". However, pork buns are
known as “Tie Bakpao.” such pork, dumplings, in China also makes dumplings with chicken filling called "Koi Pao" or "Kehpao" and also
dumplings with beef filling called "Gu Pao." Similarly with culinary in Indonesia. The method used to trace for bakpao uses a qualitative descriptive
method. The result is that the food from China is fused with local wisdom in Indonesia, and becoming typical Indonesian traditional snacks that were
initiated from bakpao.
