Lontong sate ayam

Rice grains boiled in banana leaves to make aromatic rice cakes that goes well with many savory dishes. It’s like eating rice in a cake form!

Lontong or loosely translated as Rice Cake is very popular in South East Asia especially Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. It is made of rice grains wrapped and cooked in banana leaves. It is slightly greenish in color (color transferred from the banana leaves) and it goes with many dishes such as Satay Padang, Ketoprak, sometimes in Gado Gado, and my absolute favorite is lontong sayur. These are just to mention a few.more delicious plus chicken satay and peanut seasoning
