Sega Krawu is a traditional rice dish from Gresik, typically served on a banana leaf with soft steamed rice, shredded sweet or savory beef, beef offal, two varieties of seasoned grated coconut—yellow and red—and spicy sambal terasi or sambal petis. The name "krawu" is derived from the word "krawukan," referring to the traditional way of serving and eating the side dishes by picking them up directly with one's fingers.

The centerpiece of the festival was a 4.5-meter-tall gunungan, a ceremonial mountain-shaped display constructed from 3,000 individually wrapped portions of Sega Krawu. The initiative was led by the Gresik Journalists Community, transforming a beloved local dish into a large-scale cultural installation that highlighted the region's culinary heritage.

Preparing the record-setting display required the participation of six micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). Together, they used 420 kilograms of rice, 210 kilograms of beef, 60 coconuts, and 25 kilograms of spicy sambal to prepare the thousands of meal packages that formed the structure.

With its impressive 3,000 packaged servings arranged into a 4.5-meter ceremonial mountain, the installation earned official recognition from MURI (Indonesian World Records Museum) as the largest gunungan made from packaged Sega Krawu. Beyond the record itself, the achievement showcased the rich culinary identity of Gresik while demonstrating how traditional food can become a powerful symbol of community collaboration and cultural preservation.
