'Sekubal' is a traditional dish typical of the Lampung region. It is made from glutinous rice and coconut milk, then wrapped in banana leaves and steamed.

'Sekubal' has a chewy texture, rich taste and is often considered a special dish, indispensable during major holidays, especially the Muslim Eid al-Fitr (Lebaran).

This cake can be served with savory dishes such as curry, rendang (beef stew) or eaten as a dessert with tape ketan (fermented sticky rice)./.
