visited Lapangan Banteng coz @jeff_frej2007 wanted to see the flora show. We got hungry after that so I asked @agp27 if he wanted to share a "kerak telor" with me coz I've never had one before and have been wanting to try but never had the opportunity. When the mas asked me "mau yng ayam atau bebek?" (Do you want the chicken or duck?) I looked at @agp27 and he said let's go for the duck one. In my heart I was wondering if this kerak telor had chicken meat or duck meat in it, and after sitting down in front of the old man while he was making this "kerak telor", I then realised that he asked if we wanted one with chicken egg or duck egg one? 😂😂😂 Kerak telor (English: Egg crust) is a Betawi traditional spicy omelette dish in Indonesian cuisine. It is made from glutinous rice cooked with egg and served with serundeng (fried shredded coconut), fried shallots and dried shrimp as topping. It is considered as a snack and not as a main dish. The vendors of kerak telor are easily the most ubiquitous during annual Jakarta Fair and it has also become a must-have menu item for visitors at the event. Each of the portion is made by order. The kerak telor vendor puts a small amount of ketan (English: sticky rice) on a small wok pan and heats it on the charcoal fire. Add an egg (chicken or duck, but duck eggs are considered more delicious), and add some spices and mix it. The dish is fried on a wok without any cooking oil so the omelette will stick on the wok and enable to put it upside down straight against charcoal fire until it is cooked. The spicy serundeng (sweet grated coconut granule) with ebi (dried salted shrimp) and fried shallots are sprinkled upon the omelette. 😋🐣 #todayihad #whatieat #keraktelor #keraktelorbetawi #lapanganbanteng #eggcrust #makanankhasbetawi #foodoftheday #foodlover #culinaryjkt #foodhunter #foodporn #foodgasm #jktgo #foodstagram #foodtography #Jakartainfood #Ilovetoeat #makan #makansutra #makanIndonesia #jktfoodbang #foodblog #foodie #foodism #diningout #wisatakuliner #jakartaeats #diningoutJakarta #jakartaculinary (at Pameran Flona Lapangan Banteng)
