Yep, this time I will explain about one of the typical food in sumatra. So, for this time we will travel to South Sumatra, more precisely to the regions of Palembang. In this region there is one food that is very well known and liked by family and even tourists who come. That food is pempek.

Pempek is a food made ​​of sago and fish. Presentation was quite with noodles, cucumber and sauce. Cuko, pempek sauce is very typical. Cuko made ​​from boiled water, then add brown sugar, shrimp, dried shrimp and crushed chili, garlic, and salt. For the indigenous people of Palembang, cuko than once made ​​spicy to increase appetite. But with the entry of migrants from outside the island of Sumatra is now commonly found cuko with a sweet taste for those who do not like spicy.


Pempek lot of kinds, but the most famous or popular is pempek submarine. Pempek submarines are chicken eggs wrapped in dough pempek. When you come to Palembang, will not be difficult to find a store that sells this pempek. Because pempek could very easily be found throughout the city of Palembang.

Actually a lot of Indonesian food is spicies peanuts. Although both seasoned nuts, but it taste different. It's hard for me to explain here, you should try it, just to know the difference in taste.

anyway, I will discuss one of the few Indonesian food spiced nuts. Food was named ketoprak, and is a typical food Batavia or Jakarta area. What makes this different foods are vegetables that are still in a state of fresh or raw. And use ketupat or rice cake materials as a substitute for rice.

The contents of ketoprak is, pieces of rice cake, pieces of fried tofu, bean sprouts, vermicelli noodles are then doused with peanut sauce was a little soy sauce. Do not forget, given the krupuk on top.

Intrigued by the taste, taste it as you come into Indonesia, especially when in Jakarta.

note:
lontong: food consisting of rice steamed in a banana leaf.
ketupat: rice cake boiled in a rhombus-shaped packet of plaited young coconut leaves.

Green banana ice is ice that typical from macassar.

This ice contains with banana wrapped in skin cooked flour, plus a custard filling that has chocolate, vanilla, jackfruit, strawberry and some other flavor. Do not forget sprinkled with grains of red beans and chocolate and dairy creamer. Each portion was cooled with ice that is more enjoyable. And if you want even more special, you can add a sprinkling of cheese on each portion.

It is conceivable, if drinking ice when the sun is heated and was hungry, really very delicious. Because all the material composition in cold conditions, and perfect for a hungry stomach prop.

Yup, hawker market from Solo is this very famous and well liked by every family. In addition to a savory blend of taste and sweet, the price is very affordable. This hawker named serabi. It's like pancake.

This pancake made ​​from coconut milk and rice flour. At first, this making of solo pancake just to meet the wishes of the king or emperor in a ceremony or a big celebration. However, as the development era, it was well-liked snacks the whole society.


Famous pancake region at Solo is pancake Notosuman, which was initiated until the fourth generation. However, to get a pancake Notosuman is not easy. The buyers had to queue first, and do not be surprised if the queue was so long. And many buyers willing to queue from early morning. Because the pancake shop is only open until 3 pm, can even more quickly than that. Passing of time can be confirmed buyer will not get the pancake because run out of. This is because so enthusiastic buyers enjoy this comestible.

Krupuk is one of the snacks that are preferred by the family in Indonesia. Not only as a friend to eat meals, but also snack when gathered together with family or watching tv. Krupuk consist of a variety of shapes and flavors. There are large and small sizes with a variety of forms, from which only the round, shaped box - even star.

Not only a tasty course, the Krupuk were a wide sense of the flavor of fish, cheese, onions and so forth. Privilege of Krupuk not only lies from the taste, but also a sensation when eaten. yes, it sounds kriuk-kriuk. Not only that, where the Krupuk were very unique and has been used since. Storage cans are usually often used to store Krupuk in a restaurant or food stall, even in homes also use the can.


As well as sambal, krupuk was a friend to eat food that can not be separated.

If you come to Indonesia and tasting the food, the thought is definitely a spicy taste. yes, because the Indonesian people can never eat it perfectly when no seasoning on this one. This spicy taste, even more appetizing meal.

So many types of chili sauce that is known here. Each region has a distinct spicy blend. There are types of tomato sauce, green chili sauce, sambal tempe, sambal bajak and much more. Spicy taste level also varied, from being merely spicy to a super spicy, dubbed "devil sauce. " If you liked the challenge of trying to eat with sambal devil is this, and feel wonderful pungency. When eaten anything can make you sweat, hheheheh

when you come to Indonesia, is incomplete if it did not enjoy traditional food and drinks here. in each district has special food and drink is typical, I do not know too detailed. I think, in some areas of food and beverages are look the same. it's just that what distinguishes them is the name of the food.

yep, now that I will discuss is the typical drink in the area of ​​the island of Java. I certainly like it. people refer to this drink ice cendol, but in some places on the island of Java is better known as ice dawet.

dawet or cendol is known to be very refreshing beverage. dawet made ​​from coconut milk, palm sugar, slices of jackfruit and its main ingredient is rice flour. This rice flour is commonly called sweet basil. There are two kinds cendol known in Indonesia, namely cendol cendol green and black. green cendol take natural dyes from pandan leaves. whereas the black comes from the juice cendol straw burned.
