Gulai Pliek is a typical culinary Aceh made from various vegetable mixture plus spices that are only available in Aceh, pliek u. Pliek u is a spice made from dried (decayed) grated coconuts for days. Because it has been stung for days by sun, this pliek can stand up to years. Pliek u not only used as a spice vegetable, also delicious when eaten as coconut fruit mango 'putiek' or guava stone.
U in Indonesian is coconut, but hard to translate pliek into indonesian language. But if anyone asks the people of Aceh, they will answer 'pliek u' that Patarana. Clearly in Big Indonesian Dictionary the term patarana is unlisted. This is just a jargon for last name pliek. This jargon arose when an Acehnese wanted to buy 'pliek u' to an Indonesian.
Buyer: "Hi Bang, na pliek u?"
Seller: "What is a pliek u?"
Buyer: (confused translating pliek u in Indonesian) "Patarana, Bang" Answer buyer without thinking.
No one knows why the buyer is the same patarana and no one knows the story is a fact or just fictitious, obviously patarana it is pliek u.
