About Arem-Arem

Indonesia traditional food from Central Java

Arem-arem is an Indonesian-Javanese compressed rice cake in the form of a cylinder wrapped inside a banana leaf, filled with diced vegetables, tempeh, or oncom, and eaten as a snack. It is sometimes also filled with minced meat or abon. Arem-arem is often described as a smaller size lontong with fillings, so it is sometimes also called lontong isi.
