Murtabak

A common description of Murtabak is a spicy folded omelette pancake with vegetable chunks. Murtabak is most commonly made from pan-fried crepes that have been filled with minced meat, chopped leeks, chives, or green onions (scallions), beaten eggs, and then folded and cut into squares. The murtabak, often called martabak, is one of the most well-liked street dishes in Indonesia.

A variety of Yemeni, Indian Muslim eateries in Singapore, notably those on Little India and Arab Street, provide vegetarian Murtabaks as well as variations with chicken and other stuffings.

There are two varieties of Murtabak, a popular street meal in Bali: Martabak manis and Martabak telur. Originally known as Terang Bulan or Martabak Manis, this thick and delicious pancake is typically covered with a variety of ingredients such as cheese, chocolate, peanuts, condensed milk, sesame seeds, and margarine. International favorites including Skippy Peanut Butter Spread, Ovomaltine, Toblerone, Lotus Biscoff, and Durian Spread are now common toppings for Murtabak.

Recently, Martabak Manis has also been available in a thin and crispy version called Martabak Tipis Kering. The savory kind, called Martabak Telur, are crispy pancakes topped with onions, eggs, and chicken or beef meat.
