One of the mainstay menu in Aceh is Kuah Pliek (Sayur Pliek U). Kuah Pliek is a mixture of several types of vegetables cooked with coconut milk. The main ingredient for cooking Kuah Pliek is Pliek U itself. This one commodity is only produced in Aceh. I do not know why it's called Pliek, and whatever that Pliek means. If we even ask the people who are still involved in the process of making Pliek U, it seems they do not know. They only understand it is the only method of processing coconut to extract the oil, which has been practiced for generations, since time immemorial. As with other local wisdom.

Here I mentioned the procedure of processing Pliek U. Not complete if you know Pliek U only from a cup of food that has been prepared in the restaurant. It's good we can see how the initial processing process, to become Pliek U and Kuah Pliek. Pliek U itself is a residue; Dregs from the extraction results. The main purpose of processing Pliek U is to extract coconut oil.
