Halo Local Guide …
this time I will share stories about one of the typical foods of the city of Palembang, namely Martabak HAR.
HAR itself is an abbreviation / initial of the name of the owner of the franchise martabak figure, Haji Abdul Rozak. Haji Abdul Rozak is an Palembang merchant of Indian descent who is married to an Palembang woman, the residence of Haji Abdul Rozak can still be seen right next to the Jayakarta Daira Hotel on the edge of the Jendral Sudirman road, Haji Abdul Rozak himself died a long time (in 2001) but the martabak he sold until now it remains victorious and becomes the idol of the Palembang wong as well as travelers visiting Palembang.
You can find Martabak HAR in several restaurants / official martabak food stalls which are found in almost all areas of the city of Palembang, but if you want to enjoy a different atmosphere in eating martabak you may visit the restaurant / martabak food stall HAR “center” in Jln. Jendral Sudirman near the Palembang fountain roundabout (in front of the Palembang Great Mosque) because it is said that this is where the first martabak HAR for sale was bought and this is also the first HAR franchise martabak stall in Palembang, so besides enjoying martabak food you can also enjoy a nostalgic atmosphere in the first place to sell the martabak.

Some facts about the martabak above can prove that indeed the typical Palembang Martabak HAR is different, martabak HAR is a processed product created in Palembang. We can be sure, indeed, that the owner of the recipe created this martabak inspired by similar Indian food, but has experienced many innovations and experiments that make it have its own taste that can be accepted by the tongue of Indonesian people. When viewed in texture Martabak HAR looks no different from Martabak from India especially Martabak HAR uses curry sauce which is a typical broth from the State of Bollywood India, but when you eat it then you can find out the difference where martabak HAR has a not too thick curry sauce , the aroma is not too strong and the taste is not too strong like the original Indian curry sauce. The martabak HAR curry sauce can be said to be a modification of the original Indian curry sauce that is adapted to the Indonesian tongue, especially the Palembang wong, it can be said that this is the original curry sauce of Palembang. As for the martabak HAR skin, it also looks not much different from other typical Indian martabak skins, but in the skin layer of the martabak you will find eggs in it very simple, no, this is very different from Indian martabak where the filling is more diverse with meat as its mainstay. Stuffing in a very simple martabak where only 2 eggs are filled (chicken / duck) does not reduce the excitement and pleasure of this martabak and even becomes a distinctive characteristic of martabak HAR.
Please try and be careful if you are addicted because for those of you who are not Palembang people then you have to go back to Palembang just because of this culinary cravings, unless the branch of HAR is already in your city.
