Abstract 

The research examined the possibility of food being socialized as local food to 
replace local food’s role in food tourism. Food was one of the major attractions 
during a vacancy in ASEAN. The study of food in tourism rarely considered local 
food diversity in urban areas. The research addressed the other type of local food 
that is typical city food. In this case, there is no connection between the food and 
culture, traditions, history, or place, but the food is socialized as being indigenous. 
The local food consumption model was used to test whether the factors that affect 
tourists' local food consumption apply equally to foods socialized as local food. 
The research compared domestic tourist local food consumption factors in two 
food categories. 640 domestic tourists in a developed culinary tourism city in the 
Jakarta Metropolitan Area participated in this online survey. The comparative test 
of tourist characteristics found gender, the purpose of visit, age, and status of visit 
tourist characteristics associated with the food choice. The physical environment, 
exiting experience, and authentic experience were the motivational factors that 
differed between two food categories. It is possible that socialized foods will 
replace local food. The food locality did not always a matter. The results provide 
an overview of the position of local food in urban tourism. This has been 
considered the main attraction of food tourism in ASEAN countries.

Introduction 

Food was one of the major attractions for international tourists (Himanshu, 2015) and 
positively impacted tourism demands in ASEAN (Nguyen & Nguyen, 2021). A taste of the 
diversity and authenticity of the culture in Asia and ASEAN was experienced through food

26   “Local Food” Consumption: 

(Lee et al., 2020; Naruetharadhol & Gebsombut, 2020; Park, Kim, & Yeoman, 2019). The cuisine 
was featured in ASEAN’s cultural education, awareness, and literacy initiatives (Kheng-Lian, 
2014). The food was known as local food due to its heterogeneity and cultural authenticity. 

Local food was an essential attraction in the food tourism study. Tourists felt 
authenticity, a sense of place, cultural experiences, and satisfaction through local food 
experiences (Björk & Kauppinen-Räisänen, 2019; Hsu & Scott, 2020; Rousta & Jamshidi, 2020; 
Tsai, 2016; Uehara & Assarut, 2020; Youn & Kim, 2017). However, the research gave less 
attention to the diversity in local food. There was diversity in local food definitions (Avieli, 
2013). Due to the urban context, various food producers compete for customers by selling each 
other food, known as “typical food of the city” (Purnomo, 2022). The foods did not meet the 
local food definition as in previous studies. These foods have no culture or tradition tied to 
the area, and was relatively recent and can be found in other cities. However, they were 
particularly popular in the city as its typical food. The research called attention to the other 
“local food”, which has been socialized as local food. It differed from previous studies (Avieli, 
2013), which did not examine food consumption. Food consumption while traveling denoted 
the tourist gaze and determined what foods tourists consider local food (adapted from 
Korstanje & Seraphin, 2017; Urry, 1995). Tourists’ consumption of local food while traveling 
determines which foods are considered authentic. 

The research examines the possibility of food being socialized as local food to replace 
local food’s role in food tourism. Taking into consideration the importance of locality in the 
food that is socialized as local food, the research advances the conceptualization of local food. 
Previous studies discussed local food attractions in food tourism as the locality of place, 
culture, tradition, and history (Chang, Kivela, and Mak, 2010; Choe & Kim, 2019; Zhang, Chen, 
and Hu, 2019). However, those studies largely neglect the possibility that tourists feel locality 
from the other "local food." This article proposes two types of locality in food, stemming from 
the history and tradition of place and socialization. The modification of the local food 
consumption model (Kim, Eves, & Scarles, 2009) was used to test whether the factors that 
affect tourists’ local food consumption apply equally to food socialized as local food. The same 
impact indicates that food can be combined with local food in order to replace local food. The 
results provide an overview of the position of local food in tourism, which has been 
considered the main attraction of food tourism in ASEAN countries. The research result 
contributes to the definition of local food by including food that is socialized as local food in 
the tourist perspective. The research challenges a single view of locality in urban food tourism 
that has dynamic inventions. 

 

Literature Review 

Local Food and Food Socialized as Local Food 

Previous studies examined local food from three perspectives. First, local food was a 
specific geographical location (Hsu & Scott, 2020; Knollenberg et al., 2021; Rousta & Jamshidi, 

IN
 P

RE
SS



Journal of ASEAN Studies   27 

2020; Zhang, Chen, & Hu, 2019). Second, local food reflected cultural characteristics of a place. 
Local food indicated a place’s identity (Chang, Kivela, & Mak, 2010; Chuang, 2009), native 
culture (Zhang, Chen, & Hu, 2019), unique, original, traditional, special (Avieli, 2013; Choe & 
Kim, 2019), indigenous herbs and food history from a particular place (Sims, 2009; Youn & 
Kim, 2017). Third, local food refers to people or producers of food from certain places 
(Scheyvens & Laeis, 2019; Slocum, 2016; Stoffelen & Vanneste, 2016). Local food in food 
tourism represents the culture, tradition, and history of a place. 

Like the other ASEAN countries, Indonesia has a diverse food culture in each region. 
Every region in Indonesia has food that was linked to the region if it was sold anywhere in 
Indonesia. It was known as Java’s food, Sundanese Food, Sumatra’s food, Bogor food, or 
Balinese food. Indonesia also has food that did not indicate one particular region but denoted 
Indonesian food. For example, Indonesia’s government introduced fried rice as one of The 30 
Indonesian Traditional Culinary Icons. Fried rice was also known as the Indonesian Gastro 
Brand (Irwansyah & Triputra, 2016). Fried rice was a food found in almost all regions in 
Indonesia. It did not indicate a specific region. Both foods were local foods according to the 
definition of local food. How was the local food when the research took place in a particular 
city or region? The research proposes that the local food in a particular locality must fulfill the 
three local food indicators.  

The study of urban food tourism in ASEAN should examine the famous foods 
introduced as the cuisine of the city. For example, Bandung Makuta cake was not a Bandung 
cultural food but considered Bandung’s souvenir food (Chan, Tresna, & Suradipura, 2017). 
Famous Thai food poses a challenge to rice-based Thai ethnic cuisine in urban tourism (Berno, 
Dentice, & Wisansing, 2019), and Vietnamese food is considered Vietnamese even when it has 
been adapted from Chinese food (Avieli, 2013). Food indicated a specific city but did not meet 
the three local food indicators recommended as socialized as local food. 

The study focuses on two categories of food that tourists perceive as local food. Local 
food refers to culture, tradition, history, and food’s attachment to its place and maker. Local 
food was part of the unique culture of a particular region or city. Typical city food socialized 
as local food had no cultural, historical, or place attachment, but was considered typical city 
food. Food that is socialized is mostly known as souvenir food, national food, or other foods. 

Consumers may not distinguish between local and socialized food. Tourists may 
consider any food they consume as local food, following their information about the food 
(Avieli, 2013; Lin, Pearson, & Cai, 2011; Sims, 2009). Food as a cultural characteristic may be 
replaced by the invention of regional communities, food providers, and tourists (Avieli, 2013; 
Cohen, 1988). The invention and socialization process opens up the possibility that tourists 
might consider the food to be local food. 

The tourist played a role in determining what food was considered local food through 
food consumption. Food consumption in tourism was divided into four perspectives: tourists’ 
food consumption behavior or pattern; tourists’ special interests in various foods and related 
activities in destinations; food as a tourist product, and tourists’ special interests in various 
foods (Mak, Lumber, & Eves, 2012). The research is closer to the first perspective. The first

perspective discussed food consumption as a tourist’s food choice at tourist destination. It 
also discussed the factors that influence food consumption, and the perceived functional and 
symbolic nature of food choices. The tourists’ food choices denoted the perceived functional 
and symbolic food choices that influence food consumption. The claim implies that socialized 
foods can replace local foods when local food consumption factors produce the same level of 
effect as socialized foods. 

Previous studies explaining the tourist’s perspective of food consumption behavior 
were conducted on international tourists. International tourists identify authentic Indonesian 
foods from food authenticity, variety, and uniqueness (Wijaya et al., 2017) or heritage, serving, 
food environment, variety, availability, sensory, and ingredients (Hendijani, 2016; Roozbeh, 
Ng, & Boo, 2013; Wijaya, 2019). Indonesian local food for international tourists was associated 
with flavor (rice-based, spicy, tasty, and sweet), herbs, spices, sauce, and halal as a significant 
characteristic (Wijaya et al., 2016). Therefore, both local food and food socialized as local food 
can be considered as local food by international tourists. Meanwhile, domestic tourists can 
recognize local food better than international tourists (Chen & Huang, 2018, 2019; Kim, Park, 
& Lamb, 2019). A study on domestic tourists illustrates the diversity of culinary tourism in 
Asia (Park, Kim, & Yeoman, 2019). 

 
Research Framework 

The research uses a model of local food consumption (Kim, Eves, & Scarles, 2009) that 
conforms to the first perspective of food consumption. This model has been tested empirically 
(Kim, Eves, & Scarles, 2013; Kim & Eves, 2012). According to this model, food consumption is 
determined by food choices. A model was proposed to test the influence of demographic, 
physiological, and motivational factors on local food consumption and the relationship 
between these factors. Their model did not address the possibility of a diversity of local food 
in a place. The research used this framework to examine two forms of food choice (local food 
and socialized as local food). 

Physiological factors were not tested because these factors were primarily studied in 
local food consumption by international tourists (Hashemi et al., 2021; Jeaheng & Han, 2020; 
Osmana & Nazarib, 2020). Domestic tourists have a similar food culture. Thus, physiological 
factors as an impediment to local food would not occur (Cohen & Avieli, 2004). Furthermore, 
the research did not examine the relationship between factors in order to examine the different 
impacts of the two factors on food choices. 

The demographic factors are age, gender, education level, occupation, and income level. 
Additionally, two variables are similar to previous research, namely income rate (Choe & 
Kim, 2019; Kim, Park, & Lamb, 2019; Knollenberg et al., 2021; Rousta & Jamshidi, 2020), and 
occupation (Björk & Kauppinen-Räisänen, 2019; Choe & Kim, 2019; Rousta & Jamshidi, 2020).

Figure 1 Local Food Consumption Model (Kim, Eves, & Scarles, 2009) 

 

Tourist characteristics that influence consumption include more than demographic 
factors. Travel objectives are added to differentiate tourists who come specifically for culinary 
tours and tourists who come for other reasons (Andersson, Mossberg, & Therkelsen, 2017; 
Chen & Huang, 2019). The length of the visit is also examined, which finds that tourists can 
explore a variety of foods during longer visit times (Avieli, 2013; Choe & Kim, 2019; Tse & 
Crotts, 2005). The visit status is added to determine the difference between tourists who came 
for the first time, many times, or had stayed at the study location (Tse & Crotts, 2005; Wijaya 
et al., 2017). The tourist characteristic factors were a combination of demographic and 
socioeconomic factors. 

H1: Tourist characteristics have an association with food choices. 

 
Motivational factors include exciting experiences, escape from routines, health 

concerns, learning knowledge, authentic experience, togetherness, prestige, sensory appeal, 
and the physical environment (Kim, Eves, & Scarles, 2009). Previous studies have examined 
the same motivational factors (Choe & Kim, 2019; Hendijani, 2016; Kim, Park & Lamb, 2019; 
Rousta & Jamshidi, 2020; Uehara & Assarut, 2020; Wijaya et al., 2016, 2017; Zhang, Chen & 
Hu, 2019).  

Learning knowledge and togetherness were not tested in this research. The togetherness 
variable was not asked about its origin in a Greek study that included time together at 
mealtimes. This tradition was not found at the study site (Purnomo, 2022). Learning 
knowledge was also not asked. The preliminary research found there was no visitors’ interest 
in the process of making, the origin of food, and the socio-cultural context of food as an

indicator of learning knowledge. The research suggests that local and socialized food choices 
are motivated differently.  

H2: Motivational factors affect food choices differently.

Research Method 

Bogor is chosen as the research site because it has a variety of local foods well known in 
Indonesia (Purnomo, 2016). Furthermore, one local Bogor food is included in the list of The 30 
Indonesian Traditional Culinary Icons. Bogor had the highest regional income from culinary 
tourism (BPS-Statistics of Bogor, Bekasi, Depok & Tangerang Municipality, 2020), and 
culinary was a significant tourism marker compared to other cities in the Jakarta metropolitan 
area (Purnomo, 2021). 

The research uses mixed methods, where the main data collection technique is a survey. 
The survey population is determined based on the population of domestic tourists to Bogor 
City in 2018, 7.965.987 (BPS-Statistics of Bogor Municipality, 2019). The questionnaire is 
distributed online in March 2019 through social media. The samples are selected by a filter 
question, "have you visited Bogor City?" Of the 1414 questionnaires filled, only 640 are eligible 
for data processing. Respondents from Bogor City and Regency are excluded because they 
refer to the definition of tourists as people who come from "outside their environment" 
(UNWTO, 2020) or, in this research, tourists who come from other cities. The 640 samples are 
more than 385 people, meeting the confidence level (α) 95% (Adam, 2020). 

The qualitative data is used to explore the food categories in the preparation stage. The 
categorization of food is done by interviews with five Bogor cultural participants. According 

IN

to the interviews, twelve kinds of food have historically been known as Bogor local food. The 
foods are Bogor style sticky rice, Bogor style soup, Bogor laksa, doclang, Bogor style beer, 
Bogor noodle soup, cungkring, nutmeg ice, ngohiang, nutmeg sweets, golosor noodle, and 
Bogor pickle. Next step is interviews with food traders or producers. Interview with food 
producers found that one type of food is not available for sale (Bogor style sticky rice). One 
type is non-halal food (ngohiang), three types of food are manufactured by the traditional 
factory (nutmeg sweets, golosor noodle, and Bogor pickle), and seven types of food are sold 
by street food vendors (Bogor style soup, Bogor laksa, doclang, Bogor style beer, Bogor noodle 
soup, nutmeg ice, and cungkring). All food has been produced or sold for more than 50 years 
by the same producer or the second or third generation. Food that is not produced is excluded 
because tourists may not find it in the market. In addition, non-halal food is excluded to 
reduce the risk of halal issues. Therefore, the ten foods are defined as local food. 

The next step is structured interviews with 100 Bogor City residents. They are asked two 
questions: 1) Do you agree that these ten foods are included in Bogor specialties? 2) Mention 
other foods that you consider as typical Bogor food. The ten local foods were chosen by 80-
100% of respondents. The second question reveals the respondents’ top ten favorite foods. The 
ten types of food are confirmed through observation, social media searching, and interviews 
with the food producers. The six types of foods were famous Bogor souvenir foods (Air 
Mancur sweet pancake, unyil bread, taro layer cake, pia apple pie, grilled macaroni, and 
klappetart huiz), two types were a famous restaurant (Lodaya durian soup and Mang Endang 
oxtail soup), and two types were sold by well-known Indonesian artists (Bogor princess 
cake/Syahrini and Bogor rain cake/Shireen Sungkar). The same type of food can easily be 
purchased anywhere in Indonesia. Food is sold in restaurants with modern environment, 
except for Mang Endang oxtail soup. Five Bogor cultural participants denied that these foods 
had any connection with the food history and culture of Bogor. These ten foods are therefore 
considered to be locally socialized foods. 

The questionnaire regarding tourist characteristics is prepared based on Indonesian 
statistics’ age, education, occupation, and income groupings. Indicators of the purpose and 
length of the visit are compiled based on a preliminary study in 2014 (Table 1). Respondents 
fill in the motivational factors for the type of food that has been previously selected. The local 
food is identified as Bogor’s traditional food and socialized as famous food. Those questions 
are the most straightforward questions understood by respondents. 

Responses to motivational variables are measured using a Likert scale ranging from 1-5 
points for the scale (1=strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3=neutral, 4=agree, 5=strongly agree). 
It is recommended to use the midpoint of 1-5 points to measure the ordinal scale of statements 
that allows respondents to choose freely according to their opinion (Chyung et al., 2017). 
Questionnaire is designed for online use and easy completion. Respondents cannot fill out the 
questionnaires more than once on one device. The process of filling out the questionnaire is 
shown in Figure 3.

The validity test of 61 respondents is conducted using the Pearson Bivariate correlation 
techniques. The validity test results denote two indicators that measure the prestige variable 
that are omitted because they are considered invalid. The instrument reliability test uses the 
Alpha Cronbach formula because the research instrument is a multilevel scale. The reliability 
test results show an alpha value of 0,804. Therefore, it is concluded that the questionnaire has 
reasonably high reliability. 

Since tourist characteristics and type of food choice variables are categorical variables 
with nominal or ordinal measurement scales, the association between the two categorical 
variables’ level and type of food choice is measured by the Chi-Square test. The null 
hypothesis was rejected when the significance level was smaller than the specified error rate. 
An independent t-test is used to test the hypothesis since all the motivational factors are 
numerical variables and the type of food choice is a categorical variable. The null hypothesis 
should be rejected if the significance level is smaller than the specified error rate. Logistic 
regression is carried out to determine factors that influence food choice. 

 

Analysis 

Tourist Characteristics and Food Choices 

ASEAN member states have obligations under treaties to which they are party and to 
agreements to which ASEAN is a party. In the latter case, individual member states accede to 
the agreements following the completion of their internal approval processes. The agreements

usually have a threshold number of accessions before the agreement can enter into force. The 
other potential state parties can accede to the agreement at any time after it enters into force 
and is then bound to the terms of the agreement.

34   “Local Food” Consumption: 

A Pearson Chi-Square test is carried out on the association between tourist 
characteristics and food choice. Table 2 indicates that tourist characteristics such as gender 
and purpose of visit significantly affect the choice of local foods over socialized local foods. 
This is at the 0,05 level of significance. Age and status of visit significantly differed at a 0,1 
level of significance. Therefore, tourist characteristics such as gender, the purpose of visit, age, 
and visit status are associated with food choice. 

Table 1 indicates that females are more inclined to select foods socialized as local foods 
than local foods. Tourists who come for culinary reasons are more likely to choose foods 
socialized as local foods. Visitors who visit just for transit are more inclined to try local foods. 
Younger tourists are more likely to choose foods socialized as local foods than older tourists. 
Therefore, the H1 criteria are accepted regarding gender, the purpose of the visit, age of the 
visitor, and status of the visitor.

The Difference of Motivational Factors on Food Choices 

Motivational factors are measured on a Likert scale. Based on Table 3, exciting 
experience, escape from routine, and authentic experience had a higher mean value than other 
motivational factors. The three factors are the most influential in tourists’ decisions about 
food. However, the mean value cannot yet show the differences in the choices of the two food 
categories. 

An independent t-test for equality of means is carried out to test whether each 
motivational factor could have a different impact on food choice. Table 4 denotes a difference 
in motivational factors such as authentic experience, prestige, sensory appeal, and physical 
environment between purchasing local food and food socialized as local food. This difference 
is significant at a 0,05 level. Therefore, escape from routine was significant at a 0,1 significant 
level. Table 4 indicates the differences in the influence of motivational factors on food choices.

However, the results have been unable to demonstrate the degree of influence of one factor in 
comparison to other factors.

Table 6 indicates that motivational factors such as exciting experience, authentic 
experience, and the physical environment affect food choice. When motivated by exciting 
experiences or the physical environment, tourists are inclined to select socialized food over 
local food. An increased one-point average of exciting experience increases the likelihood of 
preferring socialized food over local food by 1.556 times. A one-point increase in the physical 
environment increases the likelihood of choosing socialized food over local food by 2.448 
times. When motivated by authentic experience, tourists are inclined to prefer local food over 
socialized food. A one-point increase in authentic experience, 0,310 times more likely to 
choose socialized food than local food or 3.226 times more likely to choose local over 
socialized food. In terms of exciting experiences, physical environments, and authentic 
experiences H2 is accepted.

Discussion 

Researchers found that socialized foods have begun to replace local foods as the 
mainstays of food tourism. Most respondents chose foods socialized as local foods (53,28%). 
This finding complements previous studies of tourists' preference for food other than local 
food (Chang, Kivela, & Mak, 2010; Lee, Scott, & Packer, 2014).  

The tourist characteristic factors associated with food choices include gender, the 
purpose of visit, age, and visit status. Females were more likely to choose foods socialized as 
local foods than local foods, different from previous studies (Chen & Huang, 2018). Tourists 
who came for the culinary experience are more inclined to select foods that are considered 
local than local food. It was a new sight to previous studies that found the exceptional 
attention to food tourists will more likely to choose local foods (Andersson, Mossberg, & 
Therkelsen, 2017; Chen & Huang, 2019). In addition, tourists who have visited more than once 
or have lived in the city prefer food socialized as local food. It contradicts the previous studies 
that found that local food choice in ASEAN is influenced by familiarity with local food (Lee 
et al., 2020; Mohiuddin & Al Azad, 2019; Park, Kim & Yeoman, 2019). Tourists who are 
familiar with the city usually choose food socialized as local food. The chance to explore food 
variety during visit times did not encourage tourists to choose local food as in previous studies 
(Choe & Kim, 2019; Tse & Crotts, 2005; Wijaya et al., 2017). 

Motivating factors that have an impact on food choice include exciting experience, 
physical environment, and authentic experience. Tourists with more exciting experiences and 
physical environment are more likely to choose socialized food. The exciting experience 
variable was measured by the questions "The food that is different from where I come from 
makes me excited to try," and "Enjoying food that is known as a specialty in the place where 
the food comes from makes me excited." The same question is asked in previous studies to 
find that it significantly influence local food consumption (Choe & Kim, 2019; Kim, Eves, & 
Scarles, 2013).  

The physical environment variable is measured by the questions “The dining area 
arrangement is interesting” and “I had a memorable experience where I bought the food.” 
The physical environment variable is not used in testing the local food consumption model 
(Kim, Eves, & Scarles, 2013; Kim & Eves, 2012) and is not used in previous studies (Choe & 
Kim, 2019; Hendijani, 2016; Kim, Park & Lamb, 2019; Rousta & Jamshidi, 2020; Uehara & 
Assarut, 2020; Wijaya et al., 2016, 2017; Zhang, Chen, & Hu, 2019). The local food consumption 
model is proposed to measure the physical environment variable to analyze how local food 
give tourists a different experience from their familiar environment (Kim, Eves, & Scarles, 
2009). The respondent’s preference is for a modern restaurant environment. Modern 
restaurants sell food that has been socialized as local food. Historical street food vendors and 
traditional factories sell local foods. The finding differs from the previous ASEAN study 
revealing that the regional restaurant dining environment significantly influences locality 
experience (Kim & Lee, 2022; Tan, Goh, & Lim, 2022; Zhu et al., 2022).

38   “Local Food” Consumption: 

Local food choices are significantly influenced by authentic experiences rather than 
foods socialized as local foods. The influence of authentic variables on local food choices was 
consistent with previous studies (Chang, Kivela, & Mak, 2010; Kim, Eves, & Scarles, 2013; Kim 
& Eves, 2012; Sims, 2009). The authenticity variable is measured by the questions “The taste 
of the food is unique/original from Bogor” and “The food makes me feel like I am in Bogor 
City.” The finding indicates that authenticity as the primary food tourism attraction is in the 
local food realm (Youn & Kim, 2017; Zhang, Chen, & Hu, 2019). 

Variables in the local food consumption model represent factors that influence tourists’ 
consumption of local foods. The authentic experience contributes significantly to the authentic 
cuisine choice. However, tourists with more exciting experiences or the physical environment 
as a motivational factor were more likely to choose socialized food. Moreover, the choice of 
tourists who came for culinary purposes, females, and younger tourists challenged the 
sustainability of the local food industry. 

 

Conclusion 

Food plays a crucial role in tourism in ASEAN. It is found that local food gives visitors 
an authentic taste of the heterogeneity and authenticity of culture in Asia and ASEAN. Food 
is the intangible cultural heritage in ASEAN. However, the results indicate that the sense of 
ASEAN’s heterogeneity and authenticity could be replaced by food socialized as local food. 

The research findings indicate that local food socialization has replaced local food in 
exciting experiences and physical environments. The urban context produces a food and 
dining scene that gives motivational experiences equal to local food consumption. Unlike 
Thailand or Vietnam, the famous food does not take on regional characteristics. The tourists 
consider the foods socialized as local food is newer than local food. In addition, tourists 
familiar with the city tend to choose foods that are perceived as local. It is different from the 
previous studies that find that local food choice in ASEAN is influenced by familiarity with 
local food. The tourist attracted by the modern restaurant environment. As a result, the 
traditionality of local food seller environments is challenged, which is different from the 
previous studies in ASEAN. 

The research proposes that food locality only sometimes matters. Local foods are being 
challenged by foods that do not relate to the region’s history and culture. The feeling of locality 
can be replaced by the invention of foods that are socialized as local food. The impact is on 
tourists who came for their culinary experience, females, and younger tourists. The group 
consumes a considerable amount of local food in the previous study. 

The research has made substantive contributions to the literature on food tourism in the 
urban context. The research challenges a single view of locality in defining local food with 
dynamic food inventions. Its limitation was in determining which types of foods were 
surveyed. The process of developing foods socialized as local foods cannot be elaborated by 
this method. The process was essential to understand how a novel type of food became an

intangible cultural form. This limitation was because the study was focused on the tourist's 
consumption. The other limitation was that the study used a single case. Further research in 
a city with a similar character in ASEAN is recommended. This will enable us to develop a 
generalizable understanding of the role of socialized foods in ASEAN's urban food tourism.
