the flavor is better when the dish is cooked in a clay pot over a wood fire. Sie Reuboh is a popular Acehnese meal to celebrate the meugang tradition, in which a cow is sacrificed and after a ritual is held people share the meat with neighbors. This ritual is usually held to welcome major holy days, such as a day prior to the start of Ramadhan, Eid-al-Fitr and Idul Adha (Day of Sacrifice).

Eungkot Paya(JP/Wienda Parwitasari)

According to Tribun News, eungkot paya means fresh- salt-water fish, cooked curry-style in coconut milk, with bamboo shoots, banana blossoms or saba banana (pisang kepok).

I am not going there no matter how delicious their food is. I can have Mie Aceh in Tangerang and wash it down with an icy cold bintang. Then go to church on Sunday.
