I was just staring at the fruit basket and I have no idea what will I make with my half-ripe mango, which has sitting for two days, the reason I didn’t bother to touch because it taste terribly sour and it would make my tongue gone numb.
But then, you see…it turns to a delicious matchless, perfect !
It call Rujak serut literally means "shredded fruits salad", and is another variant of Indonesian fresh fruit salad * Rujak. The ingredients are such mango, carots, cucumber, pineapple, pomelo or even raw sweet potato, by the exceptions that the fruits are not cut into bite-sized pieces, but shredded into a roughly grated consistency.
I was invited to the prenatal ceremony last year, it called Tujuh bulanan in Javanese traditions and it held during seventh month of pregnancy.
The mother-to-be is wrapped in seven layers of batik and doused with water, to wish her good tidings. In this sacred ceremony Rujak serut is include as a important dish among other food
The believes is if most the guests have met the Rujak is sweet the baby is expected to be a girl-- whereas if it is spicy then the baby is expected to be a boy, believe it or not...
Through the background story above, I am thinking that my absolutely sour mango just nicely fitted to its typical afters.
