A late submission for BEC’s English Friday challenge week 10: what is my favorite Indonesian food.
My answer is Pecel! I can never resist the temptation, at least to try how it tastes anywhere I find it. There are so many variations of it, but the one I like the most is the one known as Pecel Madiun. Wikipedia already has the full description of this food.
I love this particular food since it has so many vegetables in it. Most common vegetables that are used in Pecel are water spinach, spinach, yardlong bean and mung bean sprout. We can boil or steam those vegetables. When we serve it, only then peanut sauce is added. The peanut sauce ingredient itself vary depend on how you like it. Level of spiciness is also determined from the peanut sauce.
I prefer to have this Pecel served with fried tempeh, tofu, and egg. How about you? do you like Pecel?

I am a big fan of pecel for breakfast. However, I just learned that my favorite pecel in Malang, Pecel Kawi, closed down their business after more than three decade. Rumor has it that they are having internal conflict. Ah, pecel should only bring joy, not conflict.

Nadia Khaerunnisa
Exactly! But what is the difference between pecel and lotek?
dani
I’m not familiar with Lotek actually Nad, so I can’t answer what is the difference precisely between the two. 🙁
Nadia Khaerunnisa
Oooh… Maybe Lotek is when the nut sauce being blend with the veggies since on the grinder. So, it’s all mixed up. We usually have pecel where the veggie and nut sauce on the different plate, don’t we?
dani
Oooh. I see. Thanks Nad. 😀
Gara
Saya juga suka pecel! Lebih suka pecel malah, daripada plecing :hihi. Soalnya kalau disuruh pilih, saya lebih pilih pecel :hehe. Tapi yang malas adalah kalau disuruh beli, soalnya jalannya jauh :haha :digampar.
