Kerak telor
Indonesia · Southeast Asia

Kerak telor is a Betawi snack associated with Jakarta. Each portion combines sticky rice with a chicken or duck egg and spices in a small wok over charcoal. The mixture adheres to the wok, which the cook turns upside down over the fire to finish cooking the exposed surface.[1]
Serundeng, or seasoned grated coconut, fried shallots and dried shrimp are scattered over the finished rice-and-egg mixture. The cooking and topping create contrasting firm and chewy textures. Kerak telor is sold by vendors around Jakarta and is especially associated with the annual Jakarta Fair, where it is a familiar snack.[1]
