This used to be my favorite "snack" when I was still in Jakarta. One of Indonesian most popular street food. It's basically a pancake with yeast, so a lot thicker than the regular pancake, and also a lot sweeter, with all the additional fillings. It comes with many different filling combination of chocolate sprinkles, cheese, peanut, and durian.
Now that I can only find this sweet pancake/martabak terang bulan in indonesian bazaar (and it's a bit too expensive for me), I decided to make it on my own.
The good thing of making my own martabak terang bulan is I can adjust the amount of filling as I like. If you're like me, you may not put as much filling as in the original martabak terang bulan (the seller always put super generous amount of fillings!). And I like the standard chocolate sprinkles and cheese combination. But you can always add other types of fillings.
