The topic I will discuss this time is the typical food from my own birthplace, Ketapang, West Kalimantan. The food I discussed was Ale-Ale.Ale-ale is a kind of water animal that resembles shellfish. This aquatic animal is also used as a symbol or tagline of Ketapang city. According to the myths in circulation, Ale-Ale is a kind of animal that comes from the fruit of Ketapang tree that falls into the river. It's hard to believe it, then it's more commonly referred to as a myth. For that I will tell you a bit about the origins of Ale-Ale

in ancient times there was a giant ketapang tree that grows very fertile ketapang area, so big and the forest tree covering the ketapang from the sun, so locals are very difficult to dry their rice fields. To the extent according to the story of the ancient community should dry their rice to the area of the padang mat. Once a ketapang town is a very strange area. The whole area is covered by a very large ketapang tree, until the area is almost no sunlight. But the development of the era then the people trying to get rid of the giant ketapang tree (cut down) so agreed that the tree should be felled.

Furthermore, after the cutting of the tree is collapsed in various ways that in the end the former fall of the tree in the long run formed a river where the former mother tree to form the main river (pawan river) and twigs to form small tributaries. Only then can the public see the direct sunlight in the ketapang city. Ketapang city is also famous for ale-ale, which is a sea animal resembling a clam which is only in ketapang, according to the story ketapang ale-ale people are the fruit of ketapang tree that falls into the pawan river that surrounds ketapang. Where now the animal is used as a symbol of ketapang by the outside community. So that the outsiders call ketapang with Ale-Ale city. The animal was used as a symbol on the roundabout of the Pawan I bridge, but now it has been renovated and the large ale-ale in the roundabout has been dumped.

Soft-skinned animal known as ale ale is much in Ketapang waters. The shape is similar to shells and is classified as shellfish species. The only difference is that the meat is white and the skin is smooth white shell. Ale-Ale is widely available in the river brackish waters. Do not know since when this animal is used for food sources of protein, so it becomes the identity of the district Ketapang is popular as the city ale ale. But although it has long been exploited, there has been no research on these hard-skinned animals.

While the skin used to be used as a hoarder or lime sirih.Populasi this animal never seems to be reduced, especially the erosion and sedimentation of the mud flow adds fertile estuary area, so that the animal became the mascot Ketapang continues its population. fishermen in the estuary area.In addition to protein sources and raw materials of lime, ale ale shell skin that many can also be used as handicrafts, unfortunately not many who started. Ale-ale can be enjoyed by boiling it first and mixed with salt. Meat ale-ale can also mix vegetables. That's a little story of the origin of Ale-Ale that I know.

The existence of ale-ale depends on the season. Under normal sea conditions, ale-ale is easily accessible. But if the sea waves are high, ale-ale will be hard to come by. Booking ale-ale in large quantities to be a solution so as not to run out of stock. Once boiled, stored in a refrigerant for durability.
