Abstract

The evolution of bakso, especially the variant known as bakwan in Malang, illustrates the complex entanglements of Chinese culinary traditions and Javanese food culture. Historical records, early Chinese agricultural treatises, colonial accounts, and contemporary media provide a foundation for tracing meatball-making techniques and migration routes of Hakka and Teochew communities who helped shape Java’s culinary landscape. Autoethnographic reflections enrich this historical reconstruction by capturing sensory memories, family traditions, and field observations from the 1980s onward. Changes in form, flavor, preparation, and commercialization highlight ongoing negotiations between halal practice, Peranakan heritage, and local taste. The argument frames bakso/bakwan as a cultural node where diaspora history, personal memory, and transregional culinary networks converge.

Abstract

Dampu Awang is a legendary figure who is always mentioned in various legends about Cheng Ho/Zheng He on Java. By looking at these legends in the current context, this article re-reads the figure of a legend who was always attached to this figure of Cheng Ho as a reflection of the stereotypical perception of Javanese people towards the Chinese in relation to Islam and Java (Indonesia). An image that existed long ago until now, namely as a creature full of paradox and ambiguity: from being admired and respected to being hated and reviled. This article was closed with a reflection of the relations between China, Islam and Java during the Post Reformation which represented Cheng Ho as the carrier of peaceful Islam.
