Madura island (connected to Surabaya by the Suramadu Bridge — when opened in 2009, Southeast Asia's longest bridge) has a food culture built on two resources: beef (the Madurese are historically cattle herders, the major supplier of cattle to East Java) and salt (Madura's flat coastline and dry climate produce some of Indonesia's finest sea salt). The Madurese diaspora — one of Indonesia's most geographically dispersed ethnic groups, with communities across Java, Kalimantan, and beyond — has spread Madurese food culture, particularly sate Madura, to every Indonesian city.
