TEMPO.CO, Batu - A visit to Batu, a highland located at 25-km distance from Malang, East Java, won’t feel complete without tasting ketan, a sticky rice dish sold by Pos Ketan Legenda 1967.
Instead of conventional sticky rice, the legendary shop serves ketan with variety of flavoring such as milk, chocolate, cheese, chicken or durian.
The dish is sold from Rp4,000 to Rp12,000 depending on the flavor. There was long queue at the shop during Eid holiday.
"It`s delicious, one hour on queue was worth it," said Nanik Rachmawati, a visitor on Wednesday, July 2015.
"I also bought ketan here last Eid homecoming season."
Wrapped in banana leaves, ketan is best enjoyed with hot milk produced by Batu’s livestock breeders. The drink, made of milk, egg, honey and ginger a la Batu Town, will definitely warm up the body under Batu’s cold weather.
