Nasi Tumpeng is a typical Indonesian dish that contains deep meaning in local culture and traditions. Shaped like a mountain, Nasi Tumpeng symbolizes prosperity, success and harmony, with the yellow color of turmeric symbolizing wealth. Apart from being delicious, the manufacturing process can also foster the values of togetherness and harmony. With its rich taste and symbolic meaning, Nasi Tumpeng is not only a dish, but also a reflection of Indonesia’s rich culture that is worth preserving.
In the Advanced Level KNB Program Listening class, lecturer Ilfat integrated cultural material on the topic of Nasi Tumpeng interactively by inviting students to compete in arranging Nasi Tumpeng Mini. That way, apart from learning language skills, students also get to know Nasi Tumpeng, and directly go through the process of making and arranging it. Through this method, students can feel the excitement and sense of togetherness that is felt in making Nasi Tumpeng.
