That foods are all laid out on metallic trays and then placed on the low tables and consumed while sitting on the floor.[7] This procession opens with the performance of Minangkabau arts and begins with the recitation of traditional Minangkabau proverbs as well as proverbs from the Koran[8] by elders and leaders.
