UNIQUE VILLAGE DESTINATION a village that does not eat rice as

 

hetradition of not eating rice has been passed down from generation to generation by the people of the traditional town of Cirendeu. Historically, this tradition has existed since the early days of the spread of Islam in the Banten region in the 10th century.

At that time, the local people still practiced idolatry and it was said that eating rice was already part of their religious ceremonies.

However, with the advent of Islam,the residents of the traditional town of Cirendeu began to replace rice as a source of carbohydrates with sago, which is used to make porridge.

Used as a substitute for rice in the traditional village of Cirendeu, sago porridge is made from sago trees that grow around the village.

The process of making sago porridge begins with processing some of the sago tree trunks that contain sago flour into the basic ingredient for making porridge. The material is then processed by boiling and stirring until thick.

In addition to sago porridge, the residents of the Cirendeu Traditional Village also eat vegetables and sea fish as garnishes.

This is because the Traditional Village of Cirendeu is close to the beach so it is easy to catch sea fish. The tradition of not eating rice at Cirendeu Traditional Village is an attraction for tourists who want to experience the uniqueness of Indonesian culture.

Every year this town is visited by tourists from inside and outside the country. Tourists can enjoy sago porridge and other special dishes at the Cirendeu Traditional Village. Additionally, tourists can witness firsthand the process of making sago weave and the making of other food ingredients.

However, the tradition of not eating rice in the Traditional Village of Cirendeu also faces several challenges. One of these challenges is the influence of foreign culture entering this town. The influence of foreign cultures can influence eating habits and the local culture that was previously planted.
