Pecel is a popular food in East Java, Central Java and Yogyakarta. Each region also has differences in serving dishes, you know. Especially the difference in the taste and consistency of the peanut sauce.

Vegetable pecel is one of the most popular traditional foods. Often referred to as a typical Indonesian salad, vegetable pecel consists of a variety of boiled vegetables drenched in peanut sauce. Pecel vegetables can also be served with other complementary ingredients, such as eggs, tempeh, tofu.
