EURIMOO is a Papua snacks made of sago starch, bananas, and grated coconut. This snack is said to come from Timika --- an area that is planned to be the capital of Central Papua province. It is cooked by boiling, and are included in the category of "wet cakes." Eurimoo is often served at traditional events such as wedding parties, circumcisions and other traditional types of parties.

Bananas used in this cake is believed to have several benefits for the body, among other things: it can treat stomach ulcers, can smooth the skin, as an energy source, can heal burns, carry oxygen to the brain, good digestion, rich in vitamins and fiber, boost immunity and prevent heart disease.

Certainly most of us have never heard of, or know of, this cake. Perhaps because of this cake comes from a far away Indonesian region and rarely talk about it (maybe the only news about there is the frequency of aircraft accidents there, tribal warfare, or other negative things).
