Including Bubua Kampium, Ampiang Dadiah, Lopi, Cindua Langkok, Kolak Pisang/Ubi, Lamang Tapai, Bubua Hitam, and Bubua Putiah.

Each of these dishes is made with a combination of traditional ingredients, including rice flour, coconut milk, and palm sugar, which provide a unique flavor and texture.

1. Bubua Kampium

Bubua Kampium is the ultimate dessert from West Sumatra. Its taste is authentic due to the use of coconut milk and palm sugar.

And it is served with various complementary ingredients such as candil, banana pudding, glutinous rice, and sarikaya.

When visiting West Sumatra, you can find bubur kampiun being sold along with lemang, lopis, and black glutinous rice in the morning for breakfast.

Ampiang is a type of cereal made from young red or white glutinous rice that is pounded and sun-dried until it is dry.

Dadiah is made from fermented buffalo milk, known as buffalo yogurt. It is served with glutinous rice, shaved ice and drizzled with a sweet brown sugar syrup.
