The culinary tourism website Taste Atlas has released a list of the top 10 street foods in Asia in March 2023. Several Indonesian street foods made the list. Pempek, ranked third with a score of 4.8 out of 5, is a Palembang, South Sumatra specialty. Taste Atlas recounts that pempek originated from a Palembang resident who, tired of traditional fried or steamed fish, ground fish meat, mixed it with tapioca flour, and fried it, creating this delicious snack. "Over time, pempek became a highly praised snack and is now considered a traditional Indonesian food," Taste Atlas wrote in its report on Tuesday, May 30, 2023.

Other Indonesian street foods on the list are siomay and serabi, both scoring 4.7 points. While siomay is often associated with the Chinese shumai, it's considered a Bandung specialty. It's a cone-shaped fish dumpling steamed with egg, potato, cabbage, tofu, and bitter melon, served with peanut sauce. Serabi, a traditional pancake made from rice flour and coconut milk or grated coconut, is found throughout Java but is particularly associated with Bandung and Solo. It ranked among the bottom three of the top 10 Asian street foods.

Taste Atlas is a culinary tourism website aiming to promote local foods from around the world.
