Terang Bulan

Terang Bulan, also known as Martabak Manis or Indonesian sweet pancake, is a popular street food and dessert in Indonesia, including Bali. It is a sweet and indulgent treat that is commonly enjoyed as a snack or dessert.

Terang Bulan is made by pouring a thick, sweet batter onto a hot griddle or pan. The batter typically consists of flour, eggs, sugar, yeast, and milk. It is then cooked until the bottom becomes golden brown and crispy, while the top remains soft and fluffy.

Once the pancake base is cooked, various sweet fillings and toppings are added to enhance the flavor. Some common fillings include chocolate sprinkles, grated cheese, crushed peanuts, sweetened condensed milk, Nutella, or a combination of these ingredients. The fillings are sprinkled over the pancake base, and then it is folded or rolled to enclose the filling.

Terang Bulan is often served hot and fresh, straight from the griddle. It is usually cut into smaller pieces or slices before being served. The combination of the soft and fluffy pancake base with the sweet fillings creates a delightful contrast in textures and flavors.

In Bali and other parts of Indonesia, you can find Terang Bulan being sold from street food stalls, night markets, or specialized Terang Bulan vendors. It is a popular treat that is enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy indulgent desserts, trying Terang Bulan in Bali is definitely worth considering.
