such as ‘Kerak Telor’.
It
is definitely agreeable. In Jakarta Fair event, every year there are
rows ‘Kerak Telor’ stalls mushrooming on the street sides directed to
Jakarta Fair venue. Not to mention the ones who have their stalls in
the venue. In order to reserve such specific cuisine, the organizer of
Jakarta Fair has held a program to make ‘Kerak Telor’ that will be
recorded in Indonesian Record Museum on July, 2006.
President Director of PT. Jakarta International Expo, as the organizer of Jakarta Fair, Siti Hartati Murdaya,
said that the desire in making a record in Indonesia is to add the
merriment in celebrating Jakarta’s birthday and an actualization of
awareness about this Betawian cuisine.
“With its unique composition, it is hoped that this ‘Kerak Telor’ would carry rhe concept of 479th Jakarta’s birthday,” stated Siti Hartati Murdaya.
the ingredients to make ‘Kerak Telor’ are consist of 479 eggs, 7 kg of
sticky rice and 9 different spices, which is read from left to bottom
will make a formation of 479, as follow:
479 eggs
7 kg of sticky rice
9 types of spices
Hartati added that ‘Kerak Telor’ will be worked by 4 men, which is lead
by the leader of the Association of Kerak Telor Seller in Jakarta, H.
Amarullah, and will be held in Gambir Expo area of Jakarta Fair,
Kemayoran. The duration to cook this food is about 47 minutes.
“The executors in making this giant ‘Kerak Telor’ are from the
Association of Kerak Telor Seller, in collaboration with PT. JIExpo and
PT. MICE INDO. When finished cooking, that ‘Kerak Telor’ will be given
to 500 visitors of Jakarta Fair,” added Siti Hartati. She also
persuaded people to come to the venue of Jakarta Fair 2006 to get a
bite of this humongous ‘Kerak Telor’.
Meanwhile, the Vice Governor of DKI Jakarta, Fauzi Bowo, or famously known by his nickname, Bang Foke, has a great response in having the activity of making this gargantuan ‘Kerak Telor’.
