Pecel
Pecel (, Javanese:ꦥꦼꦕꦼꦭ꧀) is a traditional Javanese salad with peanut sauce, usually eaten with carbs (steamed rice, ''lontong'' or ''ketupat''). The simplicity of pecel preparation and its cheap price have contributed to its popularity throughout Java. It has become a food that represents practicality, simplicity, and travel, since the dish is often found along the train journey across Java. Pecel was introduced to Malaysia, where it is known as pecal, by Javanese immigrants. Pecel is also very popular in Suriname, where it was introduced by the Javanese Surinamese. History In Babad Tanah Jawi (circa 17th century), Ki Gede Pemanahan referred to the dish he presented to his guest, Sunan Kalijaga as "''pecel''-ized boiled vegetables". In Javanese language, "''pecel''" used to refer to the act of squeezing the water out of something. Sunan Kalijaga was not familiar with the dish as he came from northeastern part of Central Java, while the dish was native to Yogy ...

Lotek (food)
''Lotek'' (alt. spelling: ''lothek'', Javanese: ꦭꦺꦴꦛꦼꦏ꧀) is a Javanese (Indonesian) vegetable-based salad with peanut sauce. While the sauce ingredients are the same with that of ''pecel'', ''lotek'' sauce is typically much sweeter to taste, a nod to a classic "Matraman" (adj. belong to the Mataram Sultanate) cuisine. ''Lotek'' is popular in the southern parts of Central Java, and Yogyakarta, where sweet taste is traditionally preferred. It may also be called '' lontong pecel'' since it's basically ''lontong'' and ''pecel'' served with ''krupuk'' and ''gorengan''. Etymology The word ''lothek'' derived from a Javanese word which means "a wooden or bamboo spatula", used to scoop out sambal, sauce, or any paste, from the grinding bowl. In modern Indonesia, the "th-" sound is replaced with "t-", which non-Javanese speakers find easier to pronounce. As Javanese traditional villages turn urban (and welcomed people from other ethnic groups), the "t-" sound version is u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
