00:00 Hi hi hi, you know this one Javanese specialty dish, right?
00:06 Yep, Aci, aka Aci.
00:10 Aci is a food made from tapioca flour.
00:14 This bouncy texture food is made into various types of dishes that are liked by many people and easy to find.
00:23 Aci comes from Sundanese, which means tapioca flour.
00:28 Or in Javanese, it can be called "tepung kanji".
00:33 Hmm, how to make this Aci?
00:37 Basically, this Aci flour is made from tapioca plant root.
00:42 This flour has a slippery texture and is white and clean.
00:47 When cooked, the texture of the flour will change, becoming more sticky.
00:52 The color also becomes more transparent and tends to have no taste.
00:57 [music]
01:07 In the 20th century, the increase in tapioca production made Sundanese people take the initiative to find alternatives in tapioca processing.
01:17 One of them is by making this Aci flour.
01:20 It must be really boring if you eat tapioca all the time, especially if it is processed, baked, steamed, or fried.
01:30 That's why Aci is a different type of tapioca food.
01:36 Creative, right, citizen?
01:38 If we have discussed the history and method of making Aci, now we will try Aci-based dishes in Bandung.
01:47 Let's go!
01:48 The first one I want to try is Cireng or Aci Digoreng.
01:53 This alternative Cireng is quite legendary, citizen, because it has been around since 1990.
02:02 The Cireng I often eat usually contains chicken, cheese, or corn.
02:08 But this one is really unique because it contains peanut sauce.
02:13 Hmm, yummy, right?
02:15 The next Aci dish I want to try is Cipuk.
02:19 When I first heard it, I was confused.
02:22 What is Cipuk made of?
02:24 It turns out that after I found out, this Aci process is coated with a corn starch, then fried, and seasoned with flavor enhancer powder.
02:34 When you bite it, the outside is crispy, but the inside is chewy.
02:38 It's unique, citizen.
02:40 Well, this one is definitely not boring anymore.
02:44 Aci Digemol or in short Cimol is a dish of Aci that is shaped into balls.
02:52 How to cook it?
02:53 It can be boiled, it can also be fried.
02:56 If boiled, Cimol can be eaten with peanut sauce.
03:00 But if fried, it is suitable to use chili powder or other flavor powder.
