hi all, how are you guys today? I hope you are always healthy and enthusiastic.
Yesterday my parents and I went to my grandmother's house in Ponorogo, East Java, Indonesia. Honestly, I haven't been to Grandma's house for a long time, because the first one is far away and the second I work in the capital so it's quite far. when I came here again it turned out that a lot had changed, starting from the streets, house building. One thing that hasn't changed is dawet jabung.
Dawet jabung is a traditional dawet drink from Ponorogo, East Java. The contents of dawet jabung consist of coconut milk, salt, palm sugar, tape made from black sticky rice, cendol made from palm flour.
oh... what is characteristic of dawet jabung is that the seller usually gives dawet to the buyer through a small saucer, but the buyer has to take the bowl without a placemat.
Why is that? According to ancestral tradition, when a man asks for a placemat, it is a sign that the man wants to married the seller. If the seller gives the placemat to the buyer, it is a sign that the seller wants to be married.
there is also an ancestral story that dawet jabung has something to do with the legend of Warok Suromenggolo.
Warok Suromenggolo is famous for his supernatural powers. the short story is, warok suromenggolo joins a duel against the tiny klenting genie who has mastered Mount Dloka and also has a mainstay heirloom, namely Aji dawet upas. Ajian dawet upas is in the form of cendol dawet, the main ingredient of which is the human eye. Warok Suromenggolo was hit by the spell of dawet upas, his body was burned and he fainted. In the end he was helped by a cowherd named Ki Jabung. then created dawet jabung
actually all of the myths of the old beliefs. We may believe it or not, but we must still respect it. sometimes things that don't make sense can also be real. especially for Javanese people who are thick with Javanese culture
oh .. here not only dawet jabung. The seller also usually sells fried tempeh, fried tofu, fried bananas, and various wet foods. this original is really good. the dawet is fresh and delicious
If you have the opportunity to go to the East Java area, don't forget to stop by the city of Ponorogo, especially to Dawet Jabung. especially when the day is hot, the throat will feel fresh. I, too, every time my grandmother's house would always stop by Dawet Jabung. the dawet is also natural without preservatives :)
