Abstract

Lekun is one of the traditional cakes from Sikka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), and it is a part of Indonesia’s cultural heritage. Lekun, as a traditional cake, is difficult to find as it is usually made during wedding ceremonies of the Sikka Krowe ethnic group in Sikka Regency. This research aims to understand: (1) the philosophy, historical tradition, and social aspects of Lekun in Sikka Regency, (2) the standard recipe for making and serving Lekun, (3) the government’s preservation efforts, and (4) the presence of Lekun as a gastronomic tourist attraction in Sikka Regency. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, literature reviews, and documentation. The results of this study describe: (1) Lekun's origin and its philosophical, traditional, and social value closely tied to the Sikka Krowe ethnic group. Apart from being a traditional snack, Lekun is also used in wedding ceremonies. (2) The process of making Lekun into a product is important. (3) There is a need for government support to preserve Lekun by providing education and supporting Lekun producers to grow their businesses. (4) There is a need to preserve Lekun as a gastronomic tourism package, offering tourists a unique attraction when visiting Sikka Regency.
