Thanks MarketMan! I’ve been looking for a place where Emping is available– thank God I’ve come across your blog post about it. Emping is something that I really miss from my SG-Indonesia trip (and you would think that I’d miss the attractions or the beach more). But then I’d have to take a long bus ride to the MRT station to get to Megamall since I live in Cavite. Boohoo.

So this was the krupuk “small crisp crackers with a bitter edge” I never liked when I was traveling in Indonesia. I did like tempe very much though, it’s a great protein substitute in case raw meat is hard to bring (ex. mountaineering trips sans refrigeration pack) or iffy (when taking life in your hands by dining from the cleanliness-challenged warungs in Jakarta/Bali, etc). Would anyone know where tempe or fermented soybeans can be bought in Metro Manila?

Poor me! The local Asian store in Winnipeg doesn’t carry emping melinjo anymore. Now, I’m craving for some with sop buntut, mie kepiting aceh etc

hi, mm – apa kabar? i had the opportunity to savor the simple taste of this kropek but in brunei where i used to work. i remember eating nasi goreng in the morning before working and eating it at the hospital staff kitchen overlooking the ocean- i remember it was only B$1.00 at that time and i think they used to wrap it in brown paper- i thought – hmm….it could be nice if some of our kababayans can also sell something like this but i guess we are a goto/tocino/tapsi/longsilog nation in the morning . maybe if you have a photo of nasi goreng – that would be nice. with the simple dilis side dish they put.hmm… missing malay food – esp the singa chicken rice,kueh lapis,nyonya dishes and the best beef rendang – my favorite which i used to order at the riverview hotel.

Yum! I used to to snack on Emping all the time when I used to live there! SM Megamall is so far! I wish there was a nearer source in Alabang.

el_jefe, just click on my name to take you to my blog. si lolit vega ay mas matanda pa sa amin ni tere habito-stuart. let’s continue sa FB baka i-block tayo ni MM. Well, nakatikim ka na ba ng zubuchon? I went to Cebu oct 24-25 to buy zubuchon and brioche, walnut-banana muffins, etc. from artisan.

I’ll post more info soon.. can you email me at yapakyakap@gmail.com? I’d be really happy to talk more and explore.. so few folks interested in this kind of stuff haha.
