Mie Celor

Well, another famous Palembang food is Mie Celor. Mie is noodle and celor means you put it into the boiling water for a short time and take it out. That process is called celor :-)

We used to eat this in the market. Sitting on a simple bench in-front-of the push cart of the seller. My childhood memory. Nowadays, it is sold in a small restaurant. The most well-known one in Palembang is Mie Celor 26 illir.
