Crispy fried omelette. It’s savory and salty with vegetables and beef and egg fried crispy on the outside, it’s verrrry goood.
I asked a couple guys what martabak was, and one of them said just wait, threw some money on the counter and asked the other guy to make me one.
I tried to pay him several times but he wouldn’t hear of it, and we ended up having a really interesting conversation; he shared a bunch of the local mythology with me, and then we shared the savory martabak, with apparently I couldn’t put off eating long enough to get a better picture of.
It was a very solid meal that I am finishing off now while I wait for the heaviest of the current monsoon to ease.
Love me some thunder!


Ooh, that sounds awesome
You are a hundo correct, it really hit the spot and it was great to share with a new friend. I had to share it, there were 12 pieces and I was pretty full after the second piece, haha.
There’s an interesting sweet and salty chili sauce to that goes with the martabak that was pretty good.
Already found a half dozen recipes, for both sweet and savory.
Awesome. The sweet ones are apparently more popular here, but I prefer savory myself.
If you like cooking, this shouldn’t be too tricky and the end result definitely rocks
And feel free to post here if you do end up making one, that would be great. Or post wherever and tag me so I can see the result!
