Pempek is a famous Indonesian fish cake dish originating from Palembang, made with ground fish and tapioca flour. These chewy and flavorful fish cakes are typically deep-fried and served with a unique sweet, sour, and spicy vinegar sauce known as cuko. Pempek is often accompanied by sliced cucumber and noodles, making it a delicious snack or light meal. Its rich seafood taste and tangy sauce make Pempek one of Indonesia’s most beloved traditional street foods.
