For the first time in forever, I visit Palembang, my fiancee's place of birth. And I'm such a lucky that he and all of his friends came together and brought me to Palembang Culinary. When I talk about Palembang, one thing in my mind is mpek-mpek or pempek or empek-empek. It is a savoury fishcake served with sweet spicy sour sauce called cuko. But fortunately, there're a lot of local food there beside mpek-mpek. And this is my version of must-eat-in-Palembang. 1. Mpek-mpek beringinThere do sell a lot of thing here. All kind of Mpek-mpek, masuba, srikaya, celimpungan, burgo, tekwan, etc. They already served spicy cuko on their table, but you can asked sweet cuko by request. My friends said that all Palembang people, even though they can't handle spicy things, they can handle spicy cuko or rather they say spicy cuko is a must. So I just request spicy cuko just for me. Lols. This is the first restaurant I visited when I first arrived at Palembang and I got carried away with all the things that they sell here. And they do know how to pack their things for souvenirs. Address Jalan Rajawali No.14, 9 Ilir Ilir Timur II telp 0887-7383-241 2. Warung UpnormalWarung Upnormal already open their branch in Jakarta, but I got excited to try it here. We ordered drinks and ropang (Roti panggang). All of it is too sweet for me. But it's a good place to hang around with friends. I saw many high school children hang out with their friends here, and I assumed after class. Address Jl. R. Sukamto No.88 8 Ilir, Ilir Tim. II Telp : (0711) 378681 3. Lomie TaksamA perfect place for breakfast!! It's not Halal guys.. for all of my Muslim friends, please don't drool even though it do tantalizing. I love their smooth noodle, the thick soup and especially the meat!! This is what my boyfriend always miss and now I know why.. They sell 2 types of lomie, with pork and without pork. I choose with pork of course! Besides pork, they're also shrimp, egg, fried shallots, and grated garlic. I don't recommend to add another seasoning, cause the basic is already remarkable. Price for each bowl Rp 50.000 but so worth it. Address Jl. Letda Abdul Rozak No.23 Duku, Ilir tim II telp : (0711) 714103 4. Berkunjung ke pabrik krupukI heard they supply crackers to big shop, like beringin. But I can't find their address in internet. I came here because my future mother in law is acquinted with the owner. So if you want to buy it, I suggest just went to beringin. It's also a perfect souvenirs for family and friends. Each pack Rp 25.000 here. 5. Tekwan ToshibaA small crowded place with a lot things to buy. But I just try their tekwan toshiba. Don't get confused with the toshiba named, they don't sell air conditioners. Lols. They're famous of their tekwan. Tekwan is a fish soup typical of , made from the dough of fish and tapioca, quiter similar to mpekmpek. You can choose plain, with noodles, or with vermicelli. I recommend their noodles, even though it similar to usual noodles. Price Rp 15.000 per portion Address Jl. Dempo Luar No.923 15 Ilir, Ilir Tim. I telp : (0711) 360099 6. Es Campur MamatIt's a must!!! Es campur MM, originally es Mamat. I tried this es campur mamat at different place, but it's not as good as this one. So, when you come to tekwan toshiba, please please save your tummy for this es campur. Shaved ice with avocado, jackfruit, and beans (all by request) topped with condensed milk, cocopandan syrup and chocolate sauce. Price Rp 11.000 per portion Address Jl. Dempo Luar No.923 15 Ilir, Ilir Tim. I telp : (0711) 360099 7. Nasi Bakar Oplet IjoThey came the name from public transportation in Palembang. Lols. Seafood and Indonesian food in one place. They have indoor and outdoor area, and I recommend their outdoor area, especially their pendopo. I went it for dinner, so it's quite chill but I don't know how it will be if I go for lunch. Since, it is so hot in Palembang. We ordered quite a lot varian, but I recommend their nasi bakar and ayam bawang (fried garlic chicken!?). Address Jalan Petanang No. 6737 9 Ilir, Ilir Tim. II telp : (0711) 5556397 8. Mie Celor PujaseraThere's one foodcourt that I went with my friends. After a quick observation, we chose Mie celor. Mie celor is a noodle dish served in coconut milk soup and shrimp broth. You can find it like everywhere in Palembang, since it was quite famous here, and I tried one of them. I just realized that all the food here is about noodles. Lols... it's just what I chose here. But I do love their food. Price Rp 25.000 per portion 9. Seafood & CoOne of seafood restaurant in Palembang and I ate a lot!! They first served mpekmpek and srikaya for appetizers, count for what we ate. And then came the main hero... seafood! The portion is huge! especially their crabs! Love all their fresh ingredients and flavours. Address : Jl. R. Sukamto No.426 Pahlawan Kemuning 10. Srikaya mpek-mpek saga sudi mampirI'm glad go-jek already come to Palembang. So I can ordered Srikaya. Even though they named it with Srikaya, it taste like pandan, no srikaya in it. Srikaya is like a pudding for me. Usually Palembang people eat it with sticky rice or bread or you just enjoy it right away. Last but not least...And here is my last meal here.. Chinese bakpao, but it was made by my friends mom and not for sell... so I just want to post it cause it was awesome!! Anyway I do enjoy my little trip to Palembang and a very special thanks to my boyfriend and all friend there! Especially my friends, Arif and Haekal (whose mom made this bakpao) for taking care of me and show me around.
