Lompong Sagu: The Sweet Delicacy of Sumatra Barat

Because of its uniqueness, the name of this food is dedicated in a song by Oslan Husein, with the lyrics, ‘lompong sagu bagulo lawang’.

As it is a traditional food with its sweet delicacy, lompong sagu deserves more recognition from the Sumatran people or Indonesian people in general. Because this sweet delicacy will go down if the younger generation do not take part in the preservation of this food or worse it will be extinct. 

So, in order to keep it alive, we should recognize and appreciate our own food like our life depends on it. We shall keep lompong sagu alive, serving, and striving like many of our other local culinary.
