Going out of town for a vacation or on business matters is something we usually do, and even though we have often visited the places we go to, if the place is out of town, we still don't miss buying something that is characteristic of the city. because we rarely find these foods where we live, or is it just me or are you just having habits like this? Because there are some of my friends who, even when traveling far away, are not as enthusiastic as I am in hunting for souvenirs or hunting for typical culinary delights from the cities they visit.
Armed with the knowledge that I searched for from the Internet about culinary specialties in the city of Lokhsumawe, Central Aceh, I got lots of delicious culinary delights here. Starting from main dishes to desserts with a sweet and appetizing taste, however, because I don't really like sweet foods, I chose souvenirs to take home and I ate in the middle of the trip when I rested later.
Stop by at the gift shop that I searched for from the internet which gets good reviews from visitors, I see every review given by this shop is positive, starting from the price, the service of the shop owner and the various types of souvenirs here, souvenirs – by those here at a starting price of Rp. 5000 to 45,000 depending on the type and weight of the food. There are several types of souvenirs that became my choice, namely.
1. Coffee
There are various types of coffee in this shop, ranging from Arabica and Robusta with various well-known brands in this city and various prices, different brands will have different tastes from the coffee, but because I don't really like my coffee I don't know the difference between good and bad coffee, unlike my husband who understands the taste of coffee itself. The price of this coffee itself starts from Rp. 20,000 per pack with an average weight of 150 grams
2. Dodol
Dodol is a sweet food made of glutinous rice and mixed with palm sugar and coconut milk. because I don't like food that is too sweet, I didn't buy this dodol for myself, I only bought this dodol for souvenirs from my friends, this dodol in Aceh is wrapped in a long and unique shape, the price for this dodol is Rp. . 8000 per pack
3. Apem cake
This apem cake is yellow in color and made from rice flour without coconut milk, I love this cake, the taste is not too sweet and good for my health and my pocket, ha..ha.. the price is very affordable, these 3 big apem cakes are just appreciated Rp. The 5,000 apem cakes are also decorated with colorful raisins around them to add a slightly sour taste to this apem. This is my favorite cake
4. Breadfruit chips
These breadfruit chips are souvenirs that are often hunted by tourists after coffee, breadfruit is the name of a fruit like jackfruit which is then thinly sliced and fried for snacks. The price of breadfruit chips is more expensive compared to potato chips or other chips, because unprocessed breadfruit is also expensive, 1 pack of breadfruit chips weighing approximately 100 grams costs Rp. 100,000
Of the various souvenirs that I have mentioned there are many more souvenirs in the city of Loksumawe Aceh, I hope you can visit here yourself, greetings from us Tomi and Maya from the city of Binjai, Indonesia
