Jemunak is a typical culinary for breaking the fasting of Magelang people. It is quite unique, namely Jemunak. Indeed, it takes much time to make the culinary.  So, it is sometimes boring. Therefore, it takes patience and diligence in the process of making it. To make it, glutinous rice and cassava are grated, then it is cooked in a different place. After it is half cooked, the two ingredients are mixed and stacked until soft. Then, just cook them again until they are completely cooked. After it is well-cooked, the dough is given brown sugar and a sprinkling of grated coconut. If it is going to be marketed, this culinary is usually wrapped in coconut or banana leaves.  

Jemunak tastes sweet, because there is a liquid brown sugar called 'Kinco'. This sweetness is mixed with the savory taste of the dough made of yams and glutinous rice. This combination of flavors makes Jemunak taste more delicious. Besides being delicious, this culinary is liked by many people, because it can immediately restore your stamina after a day of fasting.  

Previously, Jemunak was only made in one place, namely at Mbah Mulyodinomo's house in Karaharjan Hamlet, Gunung Pring Muntilan Village, Magelang. From generation to generation, the grandfather's family inherited the Jemunak-making skills. However, now Jemunak is completely produced by many residents of Magelang. Thus, it is easy to find out this culinary in the month of Ramadan. The price of Jemunak  is Rp. 2000 to Rp. 3000 per pack.
