Serabi Solo

I don't really know whether this really originated from Solo, a place in Java, but this is a traditional cake called "Serabi", and Serabi Solo is one of my favourite type of Serabi. Yes, serabi has many varieties
This one is chocolate flavour one of serabi solo

Serabi solo is made from rice flour and coconut milk, steamed,like so many other Indonesian traditional cakes. The taste is sweet and then we can add toppings like chocolate milk or meises like this one, jackfruit, banana, cheese, and jams. It's soft and warm, and best eaten warm. Its really lost its appeal when you eat it cold

Name : Serabi Solo
Type : Sweet cake
Ingedrients : rice flour, coconut milk, yeast, sugar and toppings
Price : This variety is Rp 2.000 ($0.2) each

Selasih

Well... This is the second sweet, it's a beverages that commonly found in Indonesia on a hot days. It's a simple beverages, mix of Selasih, some syrup (usually rose syrup) and ice. You could also add some fruit and jelly to it. It's reasonably cheap because usually the ingedrients is not expensive but giving us a new freshness in a hot afternoon

Name : Es Selasih
Type : Sweet, beverages
Price : Range, it is usually sold by front-of-elementary-school skewer for Rp 1.000 ($0.1) but if you get this in a restaurant you should expect to pay Rp 10.000-Rp 15.000 ($1-$1.5)

Permen Gula "Sugar Candy"

Everybody of my age in Indonesia ought to remember the sweetness of childhood through this sweet : Permen Gula

The name of this sweet if translated literally becomes "Sugar Candy". Sounds very sweet, huh? In fact, it is, because it's made entirely with sugar, but the sweetness is subtle. It is made with a mix of brown sugar and white sugar, melted together, dyed, and then shaped into particulary anything, and left until hard enough to bite. 

You would see some of these sold with predetermined shapes (like flowers or birds), but if the seller is in the middle of making it, you could make a request and he will make it, as long as it is not too complicated. This is grouped as traditional snack and a bit hard to find in the cities, especially big ones. I often had this snack when I was really young, so this is a bit of nostalgia. It is cheap, too, you should be able to buy it for Rp 1.000-5.000

Hi, I will tell you what...

Hi there... I was struck at the idea to made this blog by... something. I think it will be quite a good idea. I see that several people have attempted to do this, but well, failed. I would like to try again. Anyway, like my address, I am an Indonesian who love street food very much. And I love travelling. While I am away, usually I will photographed anything I tried on that country, especially their street foods, because it is the cheapest one, hahah!

So this blogs will contains foods I have come accross in my journey, the range price, the taste, etc. and also some bits of my experience in said place :)

Have a good day!
