Tape Uli



Today, I get tape uli ice my co-worker friend. Tape uli is one of traditional food from Betawi [Jakarta, Indonesia]. This is my first time I drink tape uli, i ate tape and uli so many times before, but as a drink (?)
Tape is fermented ricem usually ketan hitam (type of rice which has black colour)  used to make tape in Indonesia  , and uli is rice [ketan in Indonesia] mixing with grated coconut.
The taste of this drink is sweet and slightly sour.

I learn that to deserve this drink is not easy, so many process to make tape and uli. Honestly I don't know how to make it, but my grandmother always make tape or ketan to celebrate Idul Fitri. And form her,  I learn  to be patience in every step of process.
