Do you ever go to Aceh. What region you visit? I hope you've been to Aceh Besar, where I was born. The place I grew up, and where I live now. We have a good habit, which is give food to each other. When do an event at home, usually residents of Aceh Besar provide Bu Kuwah Beulangong.
Do you know about Bu Kuwah Beulangong? (Aceh, Bu = rice. Kuwah Beulangong = meat curry from a large frying pan). Typically, the Aceh Besar slaughter a bull or goat to be cooked. They invited many people. When fully ripe, all are called to the kitchen, to eat the food. Very.. very delicious!
Do not expect any tables or chairs to sit and enjoy, it will never exist. Everyone takes a plate of rice that have been given Kuwah Beulangong, then bring it anywhere we like, to enjoy the food. Of course we have to return the plate. Hehehe
Kuwah Beulangong is the most favorite dishes in Aceh Besar. Every event, this must be the main menu. Kuwah Beulangong cooked with various herbs and spices. Basic ingredients are meat, young jackfruit, banana young or gourds. Marinade an awful lot, maybe I'll write a special post about how to cook Kuwah Beulangong.
For this post, I just want to show you how the excitement of the people in my village, when they eat Bu Kuwah Beulangong, on my wedding party, in December, last year.
