Pempek
According to lore, the name pempek refers to the old Chinese man who first produced these fish and tapioca cakes from Palembang in South Sumatra.
Now a Palembang specialty, pempek or empek-empek comes in a variety of shapes and sizes.
The most famed, kapal selam, literally submarine, contains a chicken egg and is rumored to be the most nutritious form of the spongy dough balls, which are sprinkled with shrimp powder and served withcuka, a dark dipping sauce made from vinegar, chili and sugar.

No, have not tried this dish yet.

Not really like Indoneisa food but post to share all ASEAN countries food in this thread.

Already covered Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines and now Indonesia food.

Continue with Indonesia food.

Perkadel
So simple it’s often overlooked, Perkadel’s unassuming appearance belies its flavorful punch.
A distant relative of Dutch minced-meat frikandel, these croquettes are either potato based and filled with beef or made from corn (perkadel jagung).
In Bandung, crowds line up late night in seedy alleyways to snack on potato fritters made soft from frying in hot oil.


Martabak
Think of a spongy, thick crepe made with 10 times the lard and you’ll be somewhat close to imaging martabak.
The sweet version looks more like a pancake filled with gooey chocolate, peanuts or cheese, while the savory one is made from crispy pulled pastry like filo that is flattened in a wok as egg and minced meats are rapidly folded in.


Sayur asem
This clear, refreshing soup derived from tamarind pairs well with fried food since it’s stocked with vegetables and some of Indonesia’s most interesting ingredients: melinjo, bilimbi, chayote.
A very close relative called sayur lodeh is made with coconut milk and has a sweeter flavor.

Hi AhSoonNo1. The Indonesian bakmie means noodles with meat.

For the Balinese babi guling, coconut water is poured on it while it's roasting to make this roasted suckling pig skin crispy.

Can we buy balut, the famous Filipino duck's egg, in S'pore? If yes, how much? Bon appetit.
