• Fruit rujak: a special fruit rujak is made for this occasion, and later served to the mother-to-be and her guests, primarily her female friends. It is widely known that the sweet, spicy and sour tastes of fruit rujak are adored by pregnant women. It consists of slices of assorted tropical fruits, such as jambu air, pineapple, raw mangos, bengkoang, cucumber, kedondong, raw red ubi jalar and jeruk bali. The sweet and spicy-hot bumbu rujak dressing is made of water, gula jawa, asem jawa, ground sauteed peanuts, terasi, salt, bird's eye chili, and red chili pepper. The recipe of rujak for this ceremony is similar to typical Indonesian fruit rujak, with the exceptions that the fruits are roughly shredded instead of thinly sliced, and the jeruk bali is an essential ingredient. It is believed that if the rujak overall tastes sweet, the unborn would be a girl, and if it is spicy, the unborn baby would be a boy.
• Tumpeng: the tumpeng is made of white rice, encircled by six smaller tumpengs. The dish is served in tampah, which is made of bamboo wood and banana leaf.
