Lontong cap go meh (Javanese: ꦭꦺꦴꦤ꧀ꦛꦺꦴꦁꦕꦥ꧀ꦒꦺꦴꦩꦺꦃ, romanized: lonthong cap go mèh) is a Chinese Indonesian take on traditional Indonesian dishes, more precisely Javanese cuisine. It is lontong (an elongated rice cake) served with richly-flavoured dishes which include opor ayam chicken in coconut milk, sayur lodeh vegetable soup, hot and spicy liver, hard-boiled pindang egg, koya powder made of soy and dried shrimp or beef floss, pickles, chili paste and prawn cracker. Lontong cap go meh is usually consumed by the Chinese Indonesian community during the Cap go meh celebration.[1]
