Empek-Empek Wak Amin is an empek-empek (Palembang fish cake) seller owned by a native of Palembang, at the corner of Jalan Panglima Undan and Jalan Kesehatan, Pekanbaru (in front of the field), with a serving priced at Rp26.000.

Have you tried this empek-empek yet? Even when it has just opened, people rush in right away! Wak Amin has been open for about 20 years and it's always consistently busy.

Besides the great taste, the place is comfy too. Eating here, you can relax while watching people play football and enjoy the gentle breeze.

There are 5 kinds of empek-empek here:
- Empek-empek lenjer (long fish cake)
- Empek-empek kulit (fish skin cake)
- Empek-empek kapal selam (egg-filled fish cake, large and small)
- Empek-empek adaan (fried fish cake balls)
- Martabak

The sauce (kuah) is served separately, so you can dip your empek-empek or pour it over however you like.

Give it a try too, BroSis!
