The Origin of The Name of Typical Indonesian Food
There is ketoprak, rujak cingur, misro, and also combro. Well, do our people know the origin of these four foods? After conducting a social experiment, it turns out that many do not know the origin of the foods I mentioned earlier.
Now, listen carefully, I will tell you the origin of rujak cingur.
So actually this is a story from a palace, where the king at that time really wanted to taste a delicious food. Finally, all the cooks in the palace were mobilized. But none of the food that the king tasted turned out to be able to arouse the king's appetite. Suddenly there was a child named Abdul Rozak. He then turned around to face the king, and then gave him his food. Well, the king then tasted the food that had been made by Abdul Rozak. The king enjoyed the food made by Abdul Rozak so much that while sweating, the king asked,
"What is the name of the food I am eating?"
And, Abdul Rozak answered that it did not have a name yet, the dish that was made apparently did not have a name. Then the king was confused, the king asked Abdul Rozak,
"What is the name of the meat that tastes so chewy on the tongue?"
Rozak answered
"It is cingur."
Well, the king then named it rojak cingur. Because maybe in Java they call it rujak, so the name is rujak cingur.
Well, now I will tell you the origin of the name of the ketoprak food.
So the story goes that there was a young man from Central Java who was good at cooking. The ingredients were ketupat, vermicelli, chili, peanuts, and garlic. Well, after he cooked it, he was confused about what to name this food. Finally, he wanted to serve it. When he was about to serve it to the table, ehh,,, unknowingly the plate that was going to be served fell, the sound of ketupraaak!
Well, do you believe it or not, that's where the name ketoprak came from. Well, friends, now do you know the difference between mie so, and also combro. Actually it's quite easy, the shape is different, and the contents are also different.
Now I will discuss the origin of combro food.
Actually, the word combro comes from comro, without using "B." This is a food from West Java, made from grated cassava, which is given oncom inside. That's why it's called oncom di jero, which means oncom inside. That's the origin of combro food, friends.
Misro is actually not much different from combro. This is actually a food from West Java, or Sunda. Misro is actually almost the same as combro, both are made from grated cassava. What makes it different is the inside.
If combro, the inside is oncom. Well, if misro, the inside is sugar, brown sugar is used. That's why it's called amisgijero, which means sweet inside.
I think I've put out all the menus for today. Hopefully it's useful.
Greetings always compact.
