2. This food is a mixture of sago tani and cork
fish or mackerel which is boiled and then
rolled. It is called tepek because of the way
it is made by tapping or flattening it in the
Jambi language. The shape will be like a
parallelogram. It has a soft and chewy
texture. Tepek curry is only served at certain
times such as weddings, traditional events, or
welcoming guests. Therefore this food is not
sold freely

5. Jambi is not only a durian producer, but also
a cempedak producer. It is an alternative
food for someone who is vegetarian or does
not eat meat. The spices used are similar to
rendang in general, but the difference is the
shorter cooking time. Because cempedak is a
plant that absorbs spices more easily than
meat. Some people in Jambi cook this
rendang cempedak using firewood instead of
a stove because it tastes better and has a
more distinctive aroma

6. Nasi Minyak is one of Jambi's authentic dishes, again this
food can only be found at a few events such as Aqiqah
(aqeeqah is the Islamic tradition of the sacrifice of an animal
on the occasion either 7-14 days of child's birth).
Circumcision (in Islamic teachings circumcision is meant by
cutting the skin that covers the head of the testicles for men
or cutting the flesh that protrudes above the vagina, which is
also known as the clitoris). Weddings and holidays. This food
is made from rice cooked with several spices, namely
shallots, garlic, ginger, pepper, anise, cinnamon, star anise,
cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, salt and sugar. All these spices
are mixed and boiled, then the juice is used to cook rice
which was previously added with ghee and tomato sauce.
Although the name is nasi minyak, the rice is not greasy and
produces a distinctive aroma that is appetizing.
