Cilok

Cilok, a popular and affordable street food, consists of chewy tapioca balls often served with a savory peanut sauce. This snack is particularly ubiquitous in West Java, where it can be found at street stalls near schools and bustling markets. The name "cilok" itself is an abbreviation of "aci dicolok," which translates to "tapioca poked," referring to how the balls are traditionally eaten by skewering them. The tapioca balls offer a satisfyingly springy texture, providing a delightful contrast to the rich and creamy peanut sauce that accompanies them.
