Pempek


Pempek, or fish cake, is a delicacy from Palembang that is so famous that it’s been exported to other big cities, like Jakarta and Yogyakarta, in Indonesia. You can even find Pempek in Malaysia and Singapore.

I told you earlier that I ate Pempek endlessly, right? People in Palembang eat Pempek as often as other Indonesians eat rice! It comes with almost every meal and yes, they can eat it every day.
Pempek in Palembang is served by boiling the fishcake. The dish comes with a small bowl of Cuko. Cuko is a sauce that is made from water, palm sugar, chili, garlic, salt and vinegar. Locals usually drink the sauce / cuko directly from the small bowl. Feel free to only dip the Pempek to the sauce because sometimes the Cuko is quite spicy.
In Palembang it’s common for people to cook Pempek at home, yet going out and eat Pempek at a restaurant is pretty popular too. Pempek comes in several shapes and there are different types. For example, you can find Pempek with egg in it. Some restaurants in Palembang also offer Pempek Panggang (grilled fish cake) and Lenggang Panggang (Pempek dough mixed with duck egg and grilled). You can also ask them for a fried Pempek, more popular way to serve Pempek in Jakarta.

A Haunted Hous e by Virginia Woolf             Whatever hour you woke there was a door shutting. From room to room they went, hand in hand, lifting here, opening there, making sure—a ghostly couple.             “Here we left it,” she said. And he added, “Oh, but here too!” “It’s upstairs,” she murmured. “And in the garden,” he whispered “Quietly,” they said, “or we shall wake them.”                But it wasn’t that you woke us. Oh, no. “They’re looking for it; they’re drawing the curtain,” one might say, and so read on a page or two. “Now they’ve found it,” one would be certain, stopping the pencil on the margin. And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the wood pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing ma...
