black). In the 1800s Siborong Borong was also the capital of the Batak land.

The typical food of Siborong Borong is ombus ombus. Ombus Ombus is made from a dough of rice
flour or sticky rice, and inside there is grated coconut mixed with white sugar or brown sugar, and
wrapped in banana leaves and steamed, this banana leaf makes the distinctive smell of this ombus
ombus. Ombus is a Batak language which means to blow, so this cake is called ombus ombus
because it is usually served warm, so if people want to eat it they have to blow it first.
