The protagonist of Leila S. Chudori's work, Pulang, is centrally portrayed as Dimas Suryo. The individual in question, who experienced and was subsequently forced to leave during the significant event of the cataclysm in 1965, skillfully utilizes traditional Indonesian cuisine and spices as tools for memory retention, allowing him to maintain a sense of control over his memories of Indonesia. This study employs a descriptive analysis approach to elucidate the symptomatic and factual aspects of his complex association with Indonesian heritage food and spices. The empirical data derived from this investigation shed light on many objectives for which he utilized Indonesian cultural cuisine and medicinal plants. Establishing the Tanah Air restaurant was a commercially feasible endeavor that offered a vehicle for him to alleviate his longing for Indonesia, showcasing his culinary versatility. Furthermore, Dimas astutely utilized these culinary and olfactory components in a deliberate manner to impart to his daughter, Lintang Utara, a deep admiration for the Indonesian culture and its lasting customs. A comprehensive analysis of the interconnection between Dimas and Indonesian cultural cuisine and spices highlights the significant significance of exploring these culinary traditions in order to safeguard personal and collective memories.
