Another of My Favorites Snack, Cimol!

I start wondering and asking myself "am I a foodie?" caused mostly I talk and think about food. I'm not a big eater but I always appreciate all meals that I have.

But here we go talking about food again!

Today, I find one of my favorite Indonesian street food. It's a well-known snack from West Java called cimol. Yes, it is another food from tapioca. I don't know why but Sundanese people have a lot of snacks from tapioca.

I buy it for Rp5.000 and get 16 balls of cimol. For the flavor, I chose balado and cheese. If you ask me "What is balado?" simply balado is one of Indonesia's spices from Minangkabau of West Sumatra.

Cimol is usually served in a clear plastic bag and the seller will give you a toothpick. Before eating it, don't forget to shake it first so all seasoning is mixed well on the cimol.

It has a crispy texture outside while the inside is still chewy. Because I choose balado and cheese, I can taste slightly salty, cheesy, and a bit spicy on it.

I remembered that the very first time tried cimol was when I was in Junior High School. I bought it because a friend of mine bought it a lot and I ended up curious about the taste. And yeah, it tastes really good tho! After that, I sometimes buy it during break time or after school.

My snack this afternoon is really simple but it's more than enough for me. It's just cimol and banana milk. But, it's the best combination for me!
