The month of Ramadan always carves a lot of stories and carries out various special things from an area. Aceh, the westernmost region of Indonesia, for example, has so many privileges that have been inherited from ancestors since generations.

If you want to experience the obvious atmosphere of Ramadan, Aceh is one of the most recommended regions in Indonesia. This you can feel for yourself if you set foot on this Veranda of Mecca. Starting from the culinary, community creativity, and customs during the month of Ramadan.

Talking about culinary, one of the typical snacks of Aceh is cake, bro rom rom. This cake is in the form of a small sphere, at first glance the shape looks like dumplings. However, this boh rom rom cake is made from rice flour containing brown sugar, and wrapped in grated coconut. This cake is also available in original and pandan flavor. Somehow the history of this cake has become one of the characteristics of Aceh, but what I know is that this boh rom rom cake has become a mainstay menu for Acehnese, especially when the fasting month arrives. I have eaten it since childhood.

Actually, this cake is not a food that is hard to find in Aceh. However, indeed this cake mushroomed when the fasting month arrived. Therefore, the offer of breaking the fast in Aceh is identical to the cake boh rom rom, besides there are also several other dishes.

Even the ingredients and how to make them are also not difficult (see cake recipe for rom-rom). This tiny cake when eaten normal is not enough just one. Besides being cute, the sweet and savory taste makes us want to eat it again and again. For those of you who have never tried this cake and haven't had the opportunity to visit my homeland, here are recipes that you can try yourself at home.
