Abstract: Abstract Bubur Ase, a Betawi cultural heritage cuisine in Jakarta, Indonesia, is the subject of this research. The study investigates food, culture, and history with elements such as rituals/ceremonies, spices/spice, and stories of Bubur Ase. By analyzing literature, historical records, and conducting interviews with local experts and community members, this study sheds light on the beginnings and development of Bubur Ase. The findings suggest that Betawi culture and customs have been transmitted down through generations to Bubur Ase. The cultural importance of Bubur Ase's key ingredients—rice, coconut milk, and spices—is investigated. Betawi Bubur Ase preparation, cooking, and regional variants are also covered. This research also looks at Bubur Ase's participation in Betawi religious and ceremonial rites, family reunions, and social bonding. Bubur Ase represents warmth, togetherness, and communal harmony, as well as the preservation of cultural history and the building of community identity. The study also demonstrates how Bubur Ase has been impacted by globalization, changing diets, and the decline of traditional cooking techniques. In order to maintain the historical importance of Bubur Ase, the paper discusses the local communities' culinary festivals, educational initiatives, and public awareness campaigns. By highlighting Bubur Ase's historical, gastronomic, and cultural attributes, this study supports Bubur Ase as a Betawi cultural symbol. The findings highlight the need to raise awareness, support local efforts, and preserve Betawi traditional heritage, particularly Bubur Ase.
