Traditional Foods from Palembang

     I do not know exactlty why recently I really miss my hometown. I miss its traditional foods, its tourism places, its cultures, and so on.  One thing that I really miss is actuallty its traditional foods, especially pempek, tekwan, and model. Actually, I know how to make those kind of foods so well, it's just I AM LAZY to do that. I also do not have enough time for cooking. In addition,  If I buy those kind of foods, the taste will be different. Hm, by the way have you ever eaten pempek, tekwan, and model? If you have not eaten it yet, I will introduce it to you first. Yeah, at least you know how it is looked. Hihi.

Ok, let me introduce you about pempek first:

Pempek, mpek-mpek or empek-empek is a savoury fishcake delicacy from Palembang, Indonesia, made of fish and tapioca. Pempek is served with yellow noodles and a dark, rich sweet and sour sauce called kuah cuka or kuah cuko. YOU HAVE TO TRY IT GUYS! The following is the picture:

Next, I will introduce you to another Palembang traditional food which is tekwan

Tekwan is a fish soup typical of Palembang, Indonesia. The fish cakes are made from the dough of fish and tapioca similar to pempek. The fish cake is cut in small sizes and presented in shrimp broth with a distinctive flavor, served with rice vermicelli, mushrooms, sliced jicama, and sprinkled with sliced fresh celery, scallion and fried shallot. This is the picture: 

And then the last food is Model. 

Model is almost similar with pempek and tekwan. It is made from tapioca flavour and fish. Model Palembang is simply fish dumplings stuffed with firm tofu and served in seafood broth with bits and pieces of little morsels. This is the picture of Model Palembang:

     Well, after I show you about some traditional foods from Palembang "Would you like to visit my home town and try to eat one or all of them?" Hehe. :D
