Pempek

Pempek is a traditional Indonesian fish cake delicacy from Palembang, South Sumatra. Made from ground fish and tapioca, Pempek has a chewy texture and is often filled with savory egg yolk or other fillings. Served with diced cucumber and a rich, tangy-sweet vinegar-based sauce called cuko, Pempek offers a delicious balance of flavors — umami, spicy, and refreshing.
