Notes......

Satay sauce mixture or seasoning also can be found in several Indonesian or Asian supermarket. This will reduce time in making Satay sauce and seasoning, it will be easier in adjusting the right flavour too! However the grilling and skewing process might take awhile. Therefore prepare to be more than an hour in the kitchen...! Good luck to all of you. Hopefully it will be one of your favourite dish! ^^

Pempek, Indonesian Food!

One of the famous Indonesian Food!

P E M P E K     P A L E M B A N G

originated from Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia

Famous Musi River, Palembang

History

According to local tradition, around the 16th century there was an old Chinese immigrant, who made this type of new food. He was often called 'apek' by local people. Later, this dish is called empek-empek or Pempek.

What is Pempek??

Basically it is kind of fish cake

Pempek is mixture of corn flour and minced mackerel fish (or any fish with similar texture.

For the sauce(cuka) it was vinegar mix with grinned chillli, palm sugar, tamarind water, and dried shrimp.  

The dough for Pempek is deep fried and presented with cuka or cuko. 
Normally in Indonesia we have 2 type of cuka, one is spicy and the other is not. So it is based on your own preference to use which type. Most people preferred the spicy cuka(me too^^) I really love this food a lot!



Type of Pempek

• Pempek kapal selam: (submarine Pempek), which is made from a chicken egg wrapped within the pempek dough and then deep-fried. The name derived from the shape of Pempek that resembles submersible midget submarine       

• Pempek lenjer: long cylindrical pempek     

           

• Pempek kulit 

           

• Pempek bulat

           


It is quite hard to find Pempek in Sydney. one of the restaurant I would recommend is Pempek Clovelly at Kensington. 

~ I hope you will enjoy and like Pempek as much as I do ~
