Rice sticky rice steamed into a pulut called bulukat, has significance in the tradition of the Aceh community. In fact, almost every ceremony held in Aceh, never escaped with the dish of the menu of bulukat. The people of Aceh called it Khanduri Bulukat (keturi ketan).
It is said that in the Malik Diwa Saga which is told from generation to generation, bulukat means taking blessing and avoiding the anger of Malem Diwa character. Since then, the bulukat served at each ceremony has various purposes. On other occasions, there is also a particular purpose of the presentation of bulukat.
In blog tambeh.wordpress.com, TA Sakti wrote, bulukat has a symbolic meaning. In addition to good food, also blessed food, sacred, and has a magical element. Of course the expected blessings come from the khalik.
In the past, when the parents took their children to the study, the boy was required to carry a tray containing bulukat to the recitation. Bulukat this not only as a symbol of the hands of the teacher of the Ngaji and all santri who gain knowledge there. However, as symbolic so that the lessons that will be received by the child, stick in his brain. The symbol is based on a lot of gum bulukat that serves as a glue.
for the type of bulukat was adjusted to the day the child went to pengajian. When children are delivered on Wednesdays, they are usually brought in by teuwot (glutinous coconut rice mixed with granulated sugar or sweets). If using a sweets and reddish bulukat, called red u u red.
In addition there are also bulukat juz teungoh (ketan juz tengah). Usually, this bulukat is delivered when the child has studied half of the Qur'an. Exactly in the sentence Walya Thalaththaf which often printed bold on the Qur'an,
Furthermore, when the child has Khatam Qur'an, parents bring back peuruamat Quli (ketan Khatam Alquran). The anticipated bulukat in the meeting center symbolizes the togetherness between fellow satri and teacher of Koran. This is a factor supporting the strength of the people of Aceh to withhold the Dutch intervention first, to be forced to fight the Muslim guerrillas for 70 years.
At that time, there are also offerings of bulukat for vows. Usually, the one distributed for vows is the uuw tuwot bulukat. Not only that, the bulukat is also symbolized by a sense of security, peace, happiness, and blessing. Bulukat with this symbol is usually presented at the selamatan event, such as khanduri thon (annual saloon), ek u rumoh baro (ride a new house), Seunujoh (kenduri seven days after the dead, khanduri koh boh (selamatan khitan), and so on.
There is also a so-called bulukat u teuprue (sticky rice with coconut sauce just sugared). Bulukat is served to villagers or relatives who want to work to help kenduri. As a morning meal, guests were served a glass of coffee and a plate of bulukat.
Bulukat most often found in the event of fresh flour or in Aceh called peusijuek. At big events and loaded peusijuek events, usually prepared a large tray of bulukat. After the peusijuek ritual, the bulukat is eaten together.
