Steemit Philippines - Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 8 (Week 4) || "Famous Street Foods in your Place"

Hi steemian friends.

Talking about street food in our city there is one place that sells very delicious and famous street food, its name is "Lemang" (steamed rice using bamboo), this is a typical Acehnese street food that is very popular with the people in our city.

Especially during the month of Ramadan like this, lemang is one of the Acehnese people's favorite foods for breaking the fast, this is lemang which is sold at the Ramadan bazaar right in front of where we sell it.

This lemang is made with very simple ingredients, the ingredients are rice, coconut milk, banana leaves, bamboo and also srikaya jam. For how to make it also very easy, here's how to make lemang:

1. Wash the rice using clean water until the rice is clean and the washing water that comes out of the rice becomes clear.

2. Soak the washed rice using coconut milk for about one hour.

3. Wrap the rice that has been soaked with coconut milk using banana leaves.

4. Then put the wrapped rice into the bamboo cavity along with the coconut milk that was soaked earlier.

5. Then turn on the fire to cook/burn the rice so that it is cooked like rice.

6. After the rice is cooked/cooked
remove it from the bamboo and let it cool so it can be eaten with srikaya jam.

The lemang sold at the Ramadhan bazaar is sold for Rp. 20,000 or the equivalent of 6.4 STEEM for one portion. What makes this lemang famous is its delicious taste, even though it is cooked like rice, the rice used to make lemang is glutinous rice.

Glutinous rice gives a different taste when eaten, then what makes this lemang famous is the classic way of cooking it and burning it using bamboo which makes the taste even more distinctive, especially when it is dipped in srikaya jam it feels like we are eating heavenly food.

The cheap selling price also makes many people interested in buying and enjoying this street food with their families. Usually this lemang is only just taken out of the bamboo when someone buys it so that the distinctive taste is not reduced.

Look at the bamboo that has been split and placed beside the lemang seller's table, it really makes me want to buy it right away to enjoy it with my beloved family.
