The Jaje Laklak Seller

          My name is Luhde. I’m from Padangan village. I will tell you about my 'occupation'. But, before I continue it, I would like to know your knowledge about Balinese foods. What Balinese food do you like best? Do you know what is the most delicious food in Bali? And do you know a kind of Balinese food which has circle shape and very soft? Ok, I give you a clue; it’s always served with sweet sugar and scraped coconut on it. Do you still confuse? No No No! You are wrong!/ Yes, You are right! The most delicious Balinese food is called “jaje Laklak”. And I’m a traditional Jaje Laklak seller!!!

            Actually, I do not only sell Jaje Laklak, but I also make it by myself. Maybe not all of you know how to make this food. Today, I’m very happy, so I will tell you how to make the best Jaje Laklak in the world!!!

            Ok, first you have to know that my jaje laklak is made from a high quality wheat flour, sweet sugar, and delicious salt. Well, to make this food, I need a bowl, a spoon, and some water. I pour the flour into the bowl. I add some sugar and a little salt. Next, I add some water in it. After that, I stir them into a nice batter. Next step is light the stove. Because there is no stove, imagine that this chair is a stove! Then I put this thing on the stove. This  is The Jaje Laklak mold. It’s made from clay. This is the most important thing in the way to make Jaje Laklak and very important too for me because I got it from my mom, my mom got it from my grandmom, and my grandmom got it from my great grandmom!! Ok, forget it! Let’s continue to the next step! Next, I pour the batter on the mold. After five or seven minutes, The Jaje Laklak is ready to be served.

            Well, I will continue to the next step. It is how to serve the Jaje Laklak. To serve the Jaje Laklak to my costumers, I need banana leaf, “semat”, scraped coconut, and special palm sugar called “Gula Ganting”. I take a banana leaf, then I put some Jaje Laklak on it. After that, I spread some scraped coconut and Gula Ganting on it. I wrap up it like this and use “semat” to keep the Jaje Laklak and all the contents stay in. Finally, I smile to my customers and give the best Jaje Laklak for them.

            Ok, that’s my explanation about my occupation, if you want to try my Jaje Laklak, just call me at 081916281143. A pack of  Jaje Laklak costs Rp.2000,00. Thank You.

writer note:

This is my first writing that use English when I was in university. I think it's little bit strange. At that time, my English was not quite good  XD . Pada saat itu, tugas dari dosen saya adalah menuliskan deskripsi jika saya menjadi seseorang dengan profesi yang tidak biasa. Nah, entah kenapa kemudian penjual kue tradisional yang sering berjualan di kampung saya itu menginspirasi saya untuk menulis tulisan ini. Hasil tulisannya...hmmm.... sangat diluar dugaan.  Luar biasa. Dan...mata saya sampai berkaca-kaca. Saya REMIDI. Jelas lah, grammar-nya sungsang gitu...kekeke~ XD
