[javascript] use a javascript array to fill up a drop down select box

I have a text file which I am reading and storing the data in a javascript array, it's a list of cuisines. I want to use the array to fill up a drop down select box. I know how to hard code in the values for the drop down box (using correct me if i'm wrong) but I want to be able to use the array to fill it up instead.

<script type="text/javascript">
var cuisines = ["Chinese","Indian"];            
</script>

<select id="CusineList"></select>

I have hard coded an array for simplicity, the "CuisineList" is my drop down box

This is a part from a REST-Service I´ve written recently.

var select = $("#productSelect")
for (var prop in data) {
    var option = document.createElement('option');
    option.innerHTML = data[prop].ProduktName
    option.value = data[prop].ProduktName;
    select.append(option)
}

The reason why im posting this is because appendChild() wasn´t working in my case so I decided to put up another possibility that works aswell.
