Eat Salak Plik / Patarana

Salak Pliek U is one of Aceh's old culinary delights that are still in great demand by the people of Aceh as a snack on the way. They are often used as souvenirs to be enjoyed together while sitting relaxed with the family.

This culinary is a recipe passed down from generation to generation, made from zalacca fruit that has been chopped and soaked in salt water for 12 hours then mixed with Pliek U or patarana.

Pliek U is an old coconut which is fermented for several days. After peeling and removing water, the coconut flesh is left for two days so that it is soft due to the process of breaking down starch by bacteria.

Then, the coconut is measured, stored and stirred by hand so that it spoils evenly every day for a week.

Then, the coconut is dried in just two days to extract the oil so that it becomes a residue. The dregs are then roasted to make a basic spice for making Pliek U sauce, a type of Acehnese curry.

Meanwhile, for Salak Pliek U, so that the taste sensation is more savory, delicious and durable, salak is packaged in a separate form with Pliek U spices combined with sugar, salt and cayenne pepper, then ready to be marketed.

Salak pliek u is one of the potential for the people of Aceh which is being developed. Its existence has now begun to appear back, not only in Padang Taji but in other areas in Aceh
