Kapanlagi.com - After enjoying the delicious traditional Eid dishes such as ketupat, chicken opor, and rendang that are rich in coconut milk and fat, many people begin to seek out fresher and different culinary variations. The boredom with coconut-based foods drives many to hunt for various other cuisines after the holiday is over. From soupy foods like meatballs to fresh dishes like rujak, all of these become the favorite targets for many people after Eid.
Not only about taste, the search for certain foods after Eid is also triggered by the body's need to return to a more balanced diet. Consuming fatty and coconut-based foods for several days can make the body feel heavy, so many switch to lighter, spicier, or fresher foods to neutralize the taste on the palate. Therefore, dishes like soto, chicken noodles, or rujak often become the main choices after Eid.
