This activity was carried out on 10 October 2022, we were given the task of making a project precisely at the Lala Kuli Festival. The concept in our project is that we as a class will guide the community or foreigners by introducing various activities. The lala kuli festival culinary event which was held for 5 days (5-9 October 2022) was attended by traders and MSMEs who processed local Sambas Regency products. In this Lala kuli festival activity, there are many people who sell various kinds of handicraft production business results of the local Sambas community. At this event there are also many processed traditional Sambas foods on offer such as amping, processed chips, various kinds of cakes and others. In the sambas regent's office area there are many booths provided by the committee, which are very indulgent to hunt for processed food and crafts from the local community of sambas.In these activities visitors are very enthusiastic because a variety of culinary and snacks are available. People just have to choose and feel the types of superior products offered by the Sambas community.

My friends and I acted as tourists who would visit the Lala Kuli festival, and some people were appointed as our guides. During the activity, we were directed to enter while looking at the stands of the local community of Sambas. Many stands sell traditional products, but if you have seen stands that sell food, you will definitely want to buy and make our stomachs feel hungry then look for food that can fill and increase energy. After eating, we continued to look at the umkm product stands and were introduced one by one to what the products were made of, how they were processed, and where they came from. Where does it come from?

Then we will visit one of the dodol seller stands and conduct a little interview related to the dodol that you sell. Gapura pineapple dodol with the GPR brand produced by Sari Indah Makmur village, is really appetising, the taste of this fresh pineapple fruit makes dodol connoisseurs will definitely feel addicted to the taste. This pineapple dodol has a soft texture and is also very sweet on the tongue.
