Actually, there are many varieties of Kue Serabi.
Last time, I posted about Kue Ape or Kue Tetek (trans: Breast cake) which is also Kue Serabi, originally from Jakarta.
And now, I'm posting this Kue Serabi Solo which is originally from Solo (a city in the Central of Java).
Isn't this interesting, Kue Serabi Solo is being sold and cooked from a private car that just is parked on the street? ;)
The Serabi's batter
There are different toppings like banana, jackfruit, cheese, chocolate sprinkle or if you don't like the toppings, you can ask for plain Kue Serabi.
One thing that I noticed, this man is using little woks to make the Kue Serabi. The real Kue Serabi Solo is usually cooked in small clay pots.
1 piece of Serabi = Rp. 1.500

Oo...nice to learn about foods in different places. This reminds me of apong balik in Msia.
ReplyDeletepigpiscorner: Is "apong balik" similiar like kuih apom?
ReplyDeleteOMG! This apom balik look lethal to my diet. With cheese some more =.="
ReplyDeleteMust diet a bit for Chinese New Year. :P
They look and sound really wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI like these kind of cake with lots of sugar, cheese and chocolate sprinkles.
ReplyDeletethis new to me
ReplyDeleteI didn't see yet in my home town.
wonder how it taste like?
email2me: Hahaha... no need to diet lah.. as long as you eat moderately ;)
ReplyDeleteAh... Chinese New Year is around the corner... can't wait for the delicious food!
pam: This is a famous dessert/snack in Indonesia :)
worldwindows: Yes... the sugar, cheese and chocolate sprinkle make the cake totally yummy ;)
pisang goreng: It tasted rich because of the coconut milk, a bit salty but the sweetness of fruits or chocolate sprinkles make a perfect combination to the taste :)
looks quite like one of those many different pancakes they do in pasar malams here in malaysia tho we never tried one yet nor know the name
ReplyDeletebackstreetgluttons: As my understanding from the other bloggers, in Malaysia, kue serabi is called as "Apom Balik" :)
ReplyDeleteCool! I will have one with jackfruit, please :)
ReplyDeleteolivia: Good choice!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteit's nice to have the small vendors surviving. but of course must be clean. here everything is clean because need license etc. but by the time pay everything, already bankrupt. the poor has no chance of survival here.
ReplyDeleteselby, is it alright for anyone to just open a small stall? because this way, even the poor can survive.
ReplyDeletemistipurple: Here in Indonesia, most of the vendor on the street do not need any kind of license. They can open it freely, but at some places, those vendors need to pay unlegal livies.
ReplyDeleteWell, speaking the truth, here in Indonesia, as long as you have the "capital/asset" for doing business (even very small amount), you can do business. Like on rainy days, if you need to cross the street or walk on near distance, you can find a lot of boys on the street with umbrellas and you can borrow their umbrellas for a very cheap price like 10 cents.
Or some people are selling their cooking in front of their house's door to make a little money :)
They look beautiful. How I wish I have a chance to eat them ;D
ReplyDeletenoobcook: come.. come.. come visit me in Jakarta, then I'll bring you around to try the Indonesian desserts ;)
ReplyDeletelooks very interesting..and hes not just selling it from the car..hes also cooking it inside!..amazing..
ReplyDeletejoe: Hahaha.. true, the man is also cooking the Kue Serabi inside his car :D
ReplyDeletelooks cool, with those special ingredients like jackfruit and cheese. In Malaysia our apom is made with jagung or egg instead :)
ReplyDelete-vkeong
vkeong: Oh... so Kuih Apom is made with jagung or egg, that's interesting :)
ReplyDeleteOhh...i like this apom cake...very similar to what we have here in M'sia... but Kue Serabi Solo sounds more glamorous!
ReplyDeletepureglutton: it sounds more glamorous? really? Hehehe...
ReplyDeleteThis type of apom balik has so many ingredients...
ReplyDeletea good snack that will go well with a cuppa tea or coffee...and i can think of lotsa filling to go with it! ;)
ReplyDeleteck lam: Now, I'm really wondering how the apom balik in Malaysia looks like :)
ReplyDeletenic: Hehehe... sounds perfect to me :D
Looks like Msia apom balik. This man is so "canggih"! What did he use to cook the kue?
ReplyDeletefood for tots: Hahaha... quite canggih! :) He uses those small woks and gas to cook the serabi.
ReplyDeletePENGIN PULANG BELI SRABI
ReplyDeleteIs it on Jalan Agus Salim d/h jl Sabang? The vendor has quite yummy serabis -- but you definitely have to try serabis in jalan Notosuman, Solo. Notosuman serabis are baked medium done -- steak-wise speaking -- leaving moist dough at the center laced with coconut milk flavour
ReplyDeleteumar khatab: Yup, you are right! This Kue Serabi is on Jl. Sabang :) I've not tried the Notosuman Serabi from Solo yet, hopefully someday.
