===========================================================================
In the past, before Portuguese colonisation, Rotok was a favourite food for everyone in Viqueque and it continues to be a favourite today. In Viqueque, when there are visits from national figures, priests and bishops, the people of Viqueque always make Rotok to welcome them.
The process of making Rotok requires preparing many ingredients, such as: Brown rice, papaya leaf, papaya flower, spinach vegetable, cassava leaf, eggplant, long bean leaf, pumpkin, green bean, long bean, salt.

When all these ingredients are complete, then we will start cutting and chopping the ingredients until they are crushed, then mix all the ingredients and start cooking them by boiling with water until the water recedes and thickens until cooked. After cooking, we can taste it and eat it. For those who like some spice, they can mix a little with chili.

Rotok can be said to be a nutritious food that makes us really strong and tastes good also.
