Every place is
of course have a typical and unique food of their place. Like in Padang we will
find rendang, in Yogyakarta we are able to get Nasi Gudeg. And in Teluk Kuantan,
Kuantan Singingi, Riau we also will find many unique foods of their place. Here,
I would like to write some of that typical foods from many foods that we are
able to find them there.
Teluk Kuantan
is one of the Sub-district that we can find in Kuantan Singingi. Kuantan
Singingi is one the regency that is located in Riau. And what is the unique
food there? Just continue in reading.
First is “Galamai”.
Galamai has a unique taste and different with the others food of course. Actually
galamai looks like dodol in some places like Java but if we touch and eat it,
it is a little bit oily than dodol. Galamai is made by combination of glutinous
rice flour and palm sugar, and usually it is wrapped by a dried leaf of banana
or woven pandan leaves.
The second one
is “Lamang”. Lamang is made by glutinous rice and coconut milk. After combining
those materials, it will be put on a bamboo and then that bamboo will be burnt.
The next food
is called “Bajik”. Actually Bajik is divided
by two kinds, Bajik Lopuar and Bajik only. Between both of them, it is of
course have difference. They are also made by glutinous rice, but the
difference is on the sweetner, if Bajik use Palm Sugar and Bajik Lopuar use the
white sugar one.
There is a
unique Curry also in Teluk Kuantan, there are not only snacks like galamai,
lamang, and bajik but also there is Curry is use for side dish. The kind of those
Curry are: “gulai cipuik, gulai nangka, and everything can be made for a kind
of Curry actually but these are the typical one. Gulai Cipuik, Cipuik is same
as snail but it is not as big as you think, it is only a small snail. We
combine the coconut milk for the sauce and cipuik with the shells also and if
we want to eat the part of the snail we should to take it by using our own
mouth. Then, gulai nangka, listening from the name we know that gulai nangka is
made by coconut milk and jackfruit. We can not use the old jackfruit for this
one.
If you come to
Teluk Kuantan, just try to eat this food and trust to me that you will buy many
more for your family who is never eat it before because it has a unique and delicious
taste and of course will make you being addicted, thank you
