On a Saturday morning at Flipflop Coffee, Gie Simatupang invited his friends to try a new culinary venture in Bandar Lampung called Nasi Liwet Sambel Alu. Excitedly, he suggested, "Let's order some nasi liwet and enjoy it together." Having already indulged in various traditional snacks that morning, they decided to order nasi liwet for dinner on Saturday night. After returning home to empty their stomachs and rest, they eagerly anticipated a delicious meal in the evening.
Although nasi liwet is not originally from Lampung, it has gained popularity in the region. In Indonesia, there are two types of nasi liwet: nasi liwet Solo and nasi liwet Sunda. Nasi Liwet Sambel Alu draws inspiration from the nasi liwet Sunda. Perhaps due to the significant number of Lampung residents with origins from Solo and Sunda, nasi liwet has become a sought-after dish in Bandar Lampung.
The unique flavors and aromas of nasi liwet have captivated the taste buds of many in Bandar Lampung. This traditional dish, with its fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and served with various side dishes, has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Whether it's the influence of Lampung's diverse population or the irresistible combination of flavors, nasi liwet has found its place in the culinary scene of Bandar Lampung.
Nasi liwet is quite similar to nasi uduk or nasi gurih. It is rice cooked with coconut milk. It can be served with shredded/chopped chicken or other side dishes.
Especially now, the trend of eating together in one container, known as bancakan, with the option of nasi liwet is gaining popularity. As a result, nasi liwet is becoming increasingly favored by the people of Lampung. For me, as long as it is still an Indonesian culinary heritage, there is nothing wrong with preserving and participating in the preservation of such cultural heritage.
