It doesn't feel right, when you go to Ulee Madon, without trying the special dishes that are appetizing. To be complete, I also don't want to miss out on the tastings, which are great, it's culinary time. So, at Ulee Madon's coffee shop, the famous ones are timphan and pulut, but actually there's a lot more, not just timphan and pulut, but I just tried this, because this is my favorite menu. The legit and sweet sensation, when combined with the savory and soft jam bread, does give a sensation of its own on the tongue. Legit and savory, that's what I felt when I tasted the roasted pulut in the Uleemadon area, North Aceh, which is also one of the delicious snacks when stopping at a local favorite coffee shop.

Made from glutinous rice, which is mixed with coconut milk, and a little sugar, to give it a sweet sensation. And, to make it more savory, it is usually given a little salt, before being wrapped in young banana leaves, with the size of two fingers, and ready to be roasted over coals until cooked. After dawn, usually immediately invaded by buyers. In addition to the original flavored pulut, as well as black sticky rice, other dishes are also available, such as fried bananas, to timphan, which has become an icon of Acehnese cakes.
