It started with a walk with my friends in Yogyakarta. When I visited a kindergarten school to study and look at the condition of the kindergarten school there, outside the school fence I saw a woman selling snacks typical of the Jogjakarta region, there were no other sellers, only that woman, because actually she wanted to introduce us to local specialties. When I bought the cake I was alone, because my friends were busy with their activities.

I was also curious about the taste and ingredients for making this jadah manten cake. I asked the seller the ingredients for making this cake. According to the seller, this cake is made from sticky rice cooked using coconut milk, then filled with shredded chicken seasoned with shallots, garlic, pepper, candlenuts and coriander. After that, it is covered with flour dough which is made like the skin of a pancake, then the cake is clamped together using bamboo blades. If you look at this cake, it looks like a pan cake.

This yellow cake is decorated with pieces of banana leaves and then clamped with pieces of bamboo strips, so that the bamboo blades don't come loose, they tie the ends of the bamboo using pieces of long beans cut into short lengths.

The price of one jadah manten cake is 3 thousand rupiah, I bought 3 pieces. After buying the jadah manten cake, I went back to the group with my friends. I didn't eat the cake there, I wanted to eat it later when I arrived at the hotel. Because our activities were finished, I returned to the hotel. Then, out of curiosity and being hungry, I sat in the dining room and started tasting the jadah manten cake.

I removed the bamboo blade that was holding the cake together, I cut the cake using a spoon and saw the contents of the jadah manten cake. After I observed it, this cake was like a lemper cake but wrapped in a pancake crust.

true that this cake tastes like lemper cake but with a different appearance.
The taste of this jadah manten cake is savory and delicious. Because this cake is made from sticky rice and coated with wheat flour dough and added with shredded chicken, just eating one piece of this cake makes me feel full.

It's so nice finding woman selling snacks on front of a school, it's a kind of nice street food, and the sweets looks really good. 🔥

In my area there are still many people selling snacks in front of the school, thank you @noemilunastorta
