This time I will introduce you to unique snacks from Indonesia, especially West Java Province. Actually, this is the umpteenth time I have tasted this food. However, there is an obligation for me to introduce it to you. Are you curious about how it feels? Is it made of glass? And does it taste like glass?
Indonesian people are actually used to snacks with a spicy taste. They can enjoy it every day. These spicy snacks come in the form of chips, crackers, or made from noodles and others.
Kripca is an abbreviation of "keripik kaca" aka glass chips. Maybe your first thought is, is it made from dangerous materials such as glass? Certainly not. Kripca is made from starch or what is more popularly called "aci". With certain methods, this processed flour can be made into chips with a very thin thickness so that it is shaped like glass and transparent. Maybe transparent here is not like clean glass, but looks opaque. Apart from that, kripca is added with spicy spices such as chilies, flavor enhancers, salt, lime leaves and other spices to make it taste strong. This food is actually not a food that has been discovered long ago. Most likely, this snack became popular 5 years ago. There are quite a lot of enthusiasts, most of them are young people and adults.
How to eat it? Quite simple. You can make this food as a snack in your spare time. Mixing it with rice is a common alternative among Indonesian people, especially Sundanese. However, be careful when eating them, because the structure of these chips is quite sharp at the edges so they can injure your mouth. If you are careful, of course you can enjoy it safely. The taste is at a high spicy level, coupled with the savory and fragrant taste of lime leaves, and there is no sweet taste. These chips are dominated by spicy and salty savory. These chips are a little tougher than chips in general. But don't worry, these chips are already cooked.
If you like spicy snacks. This is one of the chips that I recommend to you. Especially if you like something unique and never found anywhere else. I used to really like these chips when I was pregnant with my second child. Maybe at that time I was craving it. This snack can also be used as a mood booster when you don't feel well. In Indonesia, the majority of kripca fans are women. Because Indonesian women like spicy food. They like something spicy to improve their good mood. It should be emphasized that when you want to enjoy this snack, you have first eaten a heavy meal. Because, this snack could hurt your stomach.
I do not recommend it to those of you who have stomach diseases, diseases that cause digestive problems, or those associated with migraines. Because these chips will trigger bad conditions for your health. I also don't recommend it to those of you who don't like super spicy snacks, full of flavor enhancers and a strong smell. However, if you are still curious about tasting it even though you have problems with digestive health, prepare medicines to anticipate when you finish eating this snack. You can also combine it with drinking milk after consuming kripca.
OK, that's my brief review regarding kripca snacks. Hopefully my writing is useful. Please write your response in the comments column. And don't forget to always be happy. Bye...
