Abstract:
Indonesia is an archipelago with more than 17,000 islands and more than 300 ethnic groups. Today, the country
has 35 provinces, and each province has its own local culture, language, and ethnic food. Medan is the capital of
North Sumatra province which is one of the most populated provinces in Indonesia. One of the popular and
authentic food souvenirs for tourists who visit Medan is Bika Ambon. Arguably, it is one of the most delicate cakes
in terms of preparation and taste. The ingredients of Bika Ambon are tapioca or sago, wheat flour, sugar, coconut
milk, and eggs and added bread yeast for fermentation. Bika Ambon has been a magnet for both local and
international tourists visiting Medan.
