HAR Martabak (Opposite the Grand Mosque Branch)
Martabak HAR
Legendary martabak shop founded in 1947, serving duck egg martabak topped with potato and beef curry, right opposite the Grand Mosque.
Founded in 1947 by Indian-descended businessman Haji Abdul Rozak, whose initials give the shop its name. This Sudirman Road outlet faces the Grand Mosque of Palembang. The method is distinctive: two chicken or duck eggs are cracked straight into the dough and fried, then topped with a thick curry of potato and beef chunks, served with vinegar sauce, salty soy sauce and green chilli. Other dishes include roti canai, ghee rice with curry chicken and spiced lamb rice. It stays open late, and prices are affordable per person.
