Martabak Durian Acuan
Sunday morning, wake up early with the constant noise pollution from that bastard 30m away with their damn speaker facing 4 directions. I just hate Sunday morning here, it can never be peaceful sleep or even stay at home.
Anyway, I am sharing with you all another great snack from Pekanbaru, Indonesia. This snack is available Indonesia-wide, but this one is special and cost 4x the normal cost. That’s because they are using butter instead of margarine. What the name of it? We called it Martabak. Maybe in Singapore and Malaysia, most of us have known Martabak which is sold at most Mamak stall that is made from egg with sardine or meat. But for that type, we called it Martabak Kubang. Only it is added on with some vegetables, and some light vinegar gravy.
As for this martabak, it is different. It is Martabak Bandung. The additional name after Martabak is the name of the town of its origin. There are many ingredients you can choose from, that are peanut, chocolate, cheese, durian, pineapple paste, or any combination of that.
As for this one I am sharing with you is the top choice during Durian season. If I was not wrong, there is also additional cheese in it.
What are the ingredients they use to make this? Mixed flour spread on to the pan, add on lots of sugar sprinkle on top (that’s why it is so sweet and not suitable for diabetic), butter. After these ingredients added, it will be left cooking for awhile. Once cooked, it will be removed from the pan, put on cutting table, add in the chosen flavor, as in this case Durian and Cheese. Then it will be folder into half, add on butter on the outer layer, and cut into pieces. Voila…
This is what left after three of us take our share in it. 
It is really filling up though. But a nice snack once in a while. Just not that healthy if you consume it too often. Diabetic!!! Another great choice of flavor can be Chocolate Cheese.
So… if you happen to be around Indonesia, do try out this Martabak Bandung out. But make sure you have enough companion to share it along.
