Jonathan Safran Foer –
“Food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, craving and identity.”

This rice is provided by Javanese descent next to the Malaysian West Coast during banquets such as the feast of the spirit (Tahlil) and the thanksgiving feast. In ancient times, this rice was put into molds or containers before serving. With this, this rice will be chewy and not easily scattered. Which makes this unique Ambeng rice is the side dishes of Tempe, Crispy, Rempeyek, Coconut, Mee or Fried Bihun, chicken and other appetizers including fruits. They are all placed on rice with a banana leaf and a tray.
Each meal is for 4 people. Usually they are the heads of each family. Originally the rice was not eaten. It’s just a touch of taste. Then it is divided into four and packaged to take home as a blessing (a hand) to a family waiting in the house. The symbolic of the preparation of rice is to save the cost and work of the functions. In addition, the practitioner of rice can believe that this practice can bring harmony or happiness in the family.
