Jakarta. For those of you looking to start a business, Indonesian traditional snacks can be worth the try. Indonesian traditional snacks are a joy to eat. The Indonesian culinary scene usually classifies the snacks into "wet cakes" and "dry cakes" -- depending on their water content. Wet cakes are usually soft, tender, and sweet, and are a popular snacking option. Here are some Indonesian traditional wet cakes that you might want to try for your business:

1. Dadar Gulung

5. Ongol-ongol

A typical Betawi dish inspired by Chinese New Year basket cake, Ongol-ongol presents a chewy and soft texture sensation that tempts the appetite.

6. Putu Mayang

Putu Mayang is a type of traditional Indonesian cake inspired by Putu Mayam from South India, but both are different in many ways. Indonesian putu mayang is smaller, thicker, and sticks together. Indian Putu Mayam is larger with finer strands. In addition, Indonesian putu mayang is more colorful: white, pink, and green. Its basic ingredients typically consist of rice flour, a mixture of coconut milk, and served with liquid Javanese sugar.

7. Nagasari

Made from a mixture of rice flour and tapioca flour, Nagasari gives a soft texture. It has a slice of banana inside and is usually wrapped in fragrant banana leaves. 

8. Pukis

Banyuwangi's pukis offer a sweet taste with various toppings such as chocolate, cheese, or candied fruit. The dough consists of eggs, granulated sugar, wheat flour, yeast, and coconut milk, molded in a half-moon shape.
