Food Review - Pempek Kapal Selam from Pempek Sriwijaya

Fattummy.id rating : 8/10

Good morning..
Happy weekend, Tummers !!
I'm having Indonesian #fishcake aka #pempek from @pempeksriwijayamedanfor #breakfast .

Pempek, mpek-mpek or empek-empek is a savoury fishcake delicacy from #Palembang, South Sumatera, #Indonesia .
It is made of fish and tapioca.
Also sometimes there's #egg for variations like what I have here.

Pempek is served with rich sweet and sour sauce called #kuahcuka or #kuahcuko(literally vinegar sauce) , or just #cuko .
It consists of palm sugar, vinegar, and tamarind.
Sometimes it also comes with dried shrimp powder on the side.

I'm having a variant called #pempekkapalselam which is made from a chicken egg wrapped within the pempek dough and then deep-fried.
The shape is similar to Chinese dumplings but larger in size.

It is chewy, crisp at the outside yet moist and firm in the same time.
Cuko is good as well.
With the egg addition, I assume it's rich in protein, fat, vitamin A, mineral and carbohydrate.
And this is the most nutritious variety.
