Kue Ape


Kue ape is one of the traditional Jakarta snack which you can find on the street. It's like pancake but crispy surround it. Some people also named it as Kue Tetek (trans: breast cake), hehehe

  6. LOL

    Are you serious that there's an Indonesian woman named Tetek? Hahaha... Well, tetek means breast. I guess if you put 2 kue ape side by side, it kinda give you the imagination of breast? :D

  8. lilyng: I found this kue ape recipe:
    500 gr rice flour
    3 glasses of coconut milk
    350 gr sugar
    3 eggs
    1 tbs baking soda
    Mixed them altogether and then ready to put on the wok. This recipe will result about 40 pieces.

  9. Jalan Sabang in Jakarta is full of good food -- not far from the National Monument and Bundaran Hotel Indonesia (Hotel Indonesia roundabout)
