Fig. 2 A common type of lemang in Indonesia called lemang tapai. Mostly, it can be found in central city as a street food snack. Usually, it is sold in a single bamboo stalk or a serving size which has been cut into several pieces. It is served in a bowl with fermented glutinous rice and eaten by mixing all of it. The savory taste of lemang and the sweetness of fermented glutinous rice combine to give the peculiar taste.
