Burgo (food)

Burgo is an Indonesian dish of folded rice pancakes served in a savoury, whitish coconut milk soup flavoured with fish and sprinkled with fried shallots. It is a regional specialty of Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra, and a popular breakfast there. The pancake batter is a mixture of rice flour, sago or tapioca and water, fried thin in a pan and folded into rolls. The soup is made from coconut milk and fish, most often snakehead, spiced with garlic, coriander, galangal, salt and Indonesian bay leaf, and the rolls are cut up and covered with it. Sambal and lime juice are common condiments. It resembles lakso, which uses thick rice noodles in a yellower soup coloured with turmeric.
