About kue ape

Indonesian type of pancake

Kue ape or serabi Jakarta is a popular traditional kue pancake with soft and fluffy center surrounded with thin and crispy crepes, commonly found as a popular street food in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta and other major cities. It is also popularly known as kue cucur tipis, which is different from the thicker kue cucur, and colloquially known as kue tetek due to its shape that resembles a nipple. Because it is deemed inappropriate to say ‘tetek’, most Indonesians just say kue ape as in “what cake?”. It is also very similar to serabi Solo.
