Pempek is a typical Palembang food made from ground fish meat and tapioca. There are many types of pempek such as kapal selam, lenjer, kulit, adaan, keriting, and lenggang. It can also be served fried until crispy or steamed and then doused with cuko (traditional sweet and sour sauce).
Taste Atlas also tells about the origins of making pempek. At first, an old Palembang resident was bored with traditional grilled fish or fried fish. He also thought of a more innovative way of grinding the meat, mixing it with tapioca flour, then frying it. After that he started to introduce pempek by selling it around town to Palembang residents.
