Kue Serabi Solo

Kue Serabi is the traditional pancake in Indonesia. The main ingredient is rice starch/flour mixed with coconut milk.

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

Bubur Biji Salak & Sum Sum

If you are craving for sweet porridges, you can find it easily on the streets in Jakarta.

The man is selling it on his motorcycle.

Although the direct translation from Bubur Biji Salak is Snake Fruit's Seed Porridge but this porridge isn't made from the real seed of Snake Fruit ;)

The Biji Salak is actually made from sweet potato and tapioca/sago flour.

Bubur Sum Sum is known as the Indonesian Rice Pudding; made from rice flour, coconut milk, salt and pandan leaves.

It's Rp. 3.000 per cup

People usually will eat the Bubur Biji Salak together with Bubur Sum Sum.

Ta Wan (2)

Mom and I had lunch at Ta Wan restaurant in Mall Taman Anggrek. Usually, we always ordered the set menu for 2 people but this time, we were trying the porridge which is well known at Ta Wan. The porridge tasted really good because of the soft texture.
