Entering August, every year is the most memorable month for the Indonesian people. August 17th is the anniversary of our country's independence. Not only decorating villages and residences with various knick-knacks and typical 17's attributes, in some areas other traditions are also usually held to make the celebration even more lively.
Cooking together and eating together is one of the family traditions that will never be forgotten during this moment of independence. Indonesian specialties are definitely the main choice to be able to eat together. Nasi tumpeng is an Indonesian menu that is perfect when celebrating something special. The generous portions and the varied flavors of the various side dishes make Nasi Tumpeng the right choice to be enjoyed together.
Tumpeng itself is a cone-shaped rice made of fluffier rice which is compacted upwards. A tumpeng usually consists of the tumpeng itself which is always located in the middle, surrounded by various side dishes and cakes (jajanan pasar). All the elements of the tumpeng are arranged, placed on a tray that has previously been covered with banana leaves. A tumpeng is sometimes accompanied by four smaller tumpeng with shallots and red chilies on top. Tumpeng arranged in such a way shows the beauty and aesthetics of food in one dish.

Initially, tumpeng always came in white. But for beauty, people started to give yellow color to tumpeng. At certain moments, such as this Independence Day, it is not uncommon to find a red and white cone that matches the color of our flag. The red and white tumpeng is also contested on several occasions and in several regions. Apart from being a thanksgiving, this also fosters the level of creativity of the community.
