Arem-arem
Arem-arem is an Indonesian-Javanese compressed rice cake in the form of a cylinder wrapped inside a banana leaf, filled with diced vegetables, tempeh, or oncom, sometimes also filled with minced meat or abon (beef floss), and eaten as a snack. Arem-arem is often described as a smaller size lontong with fillings, thus sometimes also called lontong isi (lit. "filled lontong").

It is common in Java, and often found in Indonesian marketplaces as jajan pasar ("market munchies"); as a type of kue (snack) offered there. Arem-arem is served at traditional ceremonies, family gatherings, birthdays or office meetings, and is often presented in a snack box. It is quite similar to lemper, but uses regular rice instead of sticky rice.
