Tumpeng

I tell a little bit story of what is "TUMPENG". Tumpeng is yellow rice formed in shape of cone. There are many shapes of tumpeng now day but the cone shape is an old fashion way and popular. Most Indonesian specially people who come from Java island like to celebrate life with tumpeng. It could be a celebration of happiness such as birthday, anniversary and wedding.

Generally tumpeng is served along with some of Indonesian food and add some of food craving as a decoration. Side dishes come along with this tumpeng is;

1. curly fried eggs

5. urap is like salad with coconut flakes

6. serundeng is mix of coconut flakes with Tempe and some spices

7. stir fry green beans and shrimp

This is a FRIENDSHIP CELEBRATION. Our friend Sinar and her son Christopher came from Washington and stay for a couples of day. So I though this will be a good day to celebrate our friendship that has been tied in for over some years.

Only few of Indonesian people live in this township. They are all came and bring some comfort food then we decorate those food on the side of tumpeng.
