This is tumpeng, or as us bulehs call it, volcano rice. It is a cone of yellow (saffron) rice with a chile at the top. Around it is a variety of foods: cucumbers, tomatoes, strips of egg, chicken wings, tempe with a spicy peanut sauce (amazing to my tongue but NOT to my stomach!), and fried potato cake things (can you tell I didn't try those?!).
The tradition is that the birthday person cuts the top of the volcano, so Becca got the honor :) We had lots of fun eating a traditional birthday food and then enjoying an American birthday cake afterwards :)
