  • Fruit rujak, if the rujak is sweet the baby is expected to be a girl; if it is spicy, the baby is expected to be a boy.
  • Tumpeng,the tumpeng is made of white rice,encircled by six smaller tumpengs.The dish is served in tampah,which is made of bamboo wood and banana leaf.

Family members and friends gather for the occasion.
