The Background of Study
There are
so many cultures in thisworld, especially in Indonesia.
Indonesia has many different
cultures in their society. And one of the cultures is Pulut Kuning from Malay society. In thispaper,
I want to explain about the meanings of
Pulut Kuning for Malay society in Hamparan Perak.
Pulut kuning or saffron sticky
rice has a relation of religion and treatment
for Malay Society since long time ago.
Pulut Kuning come into Indonesia carried by Malay’s Kingdom from the
river upstream Batanghari, Jambi,
Sumatera Utara. Then, together with the development of Malay tribe, Pulut Kuning is spread in the islands of Indonesia.Some opinion about the yellow
colour of sticky rice. In the text of Malay
history, yellow is a King colour. The other civilian may not use yellow colour for their clothes, accessories, and the
housewares. Yellow is a very honourable
colour. The useless in the sticky rice show that pulut kuning has a place from Malay Society. It almost use in
every Malay tradition ceremony. For example,
in the wedding ceremony, the egg flower put on the wedding. This thing do for give a honour to a couple of bridegroom
who be king for one day. The present of
Pulut Kuning brings a new spirit for the couple who will face their new day together.
It is a must, bring the yellow
sticky rice in any ethnic Malay cultural activities. However, now the yellow sticky
rice to be found not only at certain times
only. Pulut Kuning is not only traditional food which cooked for a symbol or assential to do some ceremonial event.
Although not currently perform 13 traditional ceremonies or other celebrations,
Malay society cook Pulut Kuning for daily
consumption. No need to plan it at the time when it will be made.
Pulut Kuning is also can be a
present. It can shared to other people like
family or neighbour. Malay society called that it is like family strengthening.
Some people have make Pulut
Kuning for their profession. They cook it and then sell it to another people.
Not only the Malay tribes, other
tribes in Indonesia was already familiar
yellow sticky rice very well. They can cook it as their usual food. Almost can be sure of yellow sticky rice is a typical
Indonesian food despite the arrival of the
Malay tribes.
