This is a local Indonesian dish that is getting more difficult to find in city areas. However you still can find it in some small coastal villages in Java island. It is indescribably yummy to serve with warm rice, a good dollop of sambal and some crunchy raw vegetables (lalapan) such as cucumber and cabbage
