00:00Kue Keranjang is one of the Kudapan served at the altar of prayer, when worshiping in Kelenteng or in the ethnic family of Tionghoa,

00:27during the celebration of Imlek or Chinese New Year.

00:31The high demand for round-shaped cakes made from sweet rice flour,

00:37made one of the makers of Kue Keranjang, Stefanus Yulianto, a flood of orders.

00:45When met at Ngemplak Simongan, Semarang City, on Thursday, January 16,

00:51Stefanus admitted that he had received an order a month before Imlek.

00:57In his production, Stefanus still uses traditional techniques to maintain taste and quality.

01:05The main key that plays a role is the use of charcoal in the cooking process.

01:13According to the man who has started the business of Kue Keranjang since 2008,

01:18charcoal gives a special aroma in his production.

01:24In one day, this place is able to produce about 500 kg of Kue Keranjang.

01:32There are four flavors available, namely vanilla, chocolate, frambos, and original.

01:39The price starts from 200,000 rupiah for 10 kg, and 420,000 rupiah for 15 kg.

01:56At first, I used gas, but the taste was a bit lacking.

02:01I tried using wood, and it turned out to be better.

02:05The aroma is also preserved.
