Hi there!
Here's the part 2 of Palembang food trail! I know it's late, but.. better than never, ya? :)
If you're new here, check out the 1st post here.
Basically it's me sharing some of the eateries I’d recommend you to visit if – by any chance – you are visiting Palembang. So without further due, check this out~~~
Ps: This list is not in particular order. π€

Beringin
One of the original pempek shop which survived through years, and evolved into a one-stop Palembang food restaurant and souvenir shop. Selling [almost if not all] kinds of Palembang delicacies from meals, dishes, snacks, crackers, desserts, even frozen ones - ready to be taken wherever you go next! So if you're into convenient, here you go.
Amongst all their pempek, I'd say I fancy their 'pempek kulit' and 'pempek pistel' the most. Meal-wise, Nasi Goreng Samin have got to be my favorite. Red fried rice, topped with flavourful minced beef, some pickled vegs, 'emping', and sambal. Wouldn't recommend the 'celimpungan' tho, tried it one time, #meh.
There are a few branches throughout the town, but the most convenient one got to be this relatively-new one at Jl. Rajawali.
Price Range: idr.40-60K/pax
Beringin Rajawali
Address: Jalan Rajawali No.14, 9 Ilir, Ilir Timur II, 9 Ilir, Ilir Tim. II, Kota Palembang, Sumatera Selatan 30113, Indonesia

Hours: 7AM–11PM

Martabak Manis
Popular. Loved my many. Calorie bomb!
This is probably the most popular street food x dessert from Indonesia. Similar to Peanut pancake we have here in Singapore, but the more bold, oily, sweet, flavourful, calorie packed one.
In Palembang, there are 2 highly popular street-vendors for this. Martabak Pulau Mas, and Martabak Atet. Some people treating this 2 somewhat like apple - samsung thing. One side keep saying the other ones are less nice. But me being me, I enjoy 'em both. #lol.
Nowadays, a lot of new 'hip' toppings - like nutella / kitkat / cream cheese / oreo - are bombarding the martabak world but for me, a good ol-day classics like Chocolate, peanuts, cheese, corn, raisins, and sesame will always hold a special place in my heart. Good thing you don;t really have to choose only 1 topping, yeap! you can personalise your martabak, your way. Personally, my ultra-favourite topping combinations are cheese-corn, followed by choco-cheese and choco-peanut. But the last time I had it, it was half cheese-corn and half choco-cheese. BEST!
Price Range: idr.30-80K/box depending on the topping(s)
Martabak Pulau Mas
Address: Jl Kol. Atmo, samping ex hotel king, Palembang
Hours: around 5PM–12AM

Kwetiau Ali
For me, this one is more like a trip down the memory lane than a fantastic eatery. Been eating this since I was little, and a plate of these foods sure taste comforting. A humble by-the-road shop, no aircon, no fancy cutleries or table setting, yet loved by many. Also, The Kwetiau they serve here is a typical Jambi Kwetiau. One-of-a-kind: thick and less-springy.
They're specialising in kwetiau [DUH!] but fret not cause they sell rice, noodle, and bee-hoon as well! All cooked using a huge wok, resulting in the fragrant smell. Mainly their menus are -goreng [stir-fried], and -siram [stir-fried with gravy]. So there you have it! just combine the main ingredient and the way of cooking - eg: Kwetiau Goreng / Kwetiau Siram / Mee Goreng / Mee Siram / etc. By default, everything you order will contain shrimp, meatball, sliced fishball, some green veggies and beansprout.
Personally, I like their kwetiau goreng and i'll order the gravy [we call it "Liao"] separately. Why not order kwetiau siram instead? cause with kwetiau goreng, they stir-fried it longer, thus it's more fragrant and flavourful! top it with the gravy? YUMZ!
ps. my brother is also one of a kind, he eats the nasi goreng with gravy.
pps. it's not my family's.
Price Range: idr.35-50K/pax

Lomie Taksam
One of the most popular breakfast shop in town!
Ask any of your Chinese-Indonesian friends who are from Palembang, chances are they've tried this. multiple times. This stall has grown from a humble old-house shop to a more restaurant-like now!
Serving thick yellow noodle with super thick gravy topped with GENEROUS amount of sliced pork, shrimps, mushrooms and garlic. One liao-full noodle indeed! [Apparently now they serve wanton noodle as well]

Honestly, this is probably my least favorite noodle in town, but when i posted this on my Instagram, it's like a magnet to A LOT of my hometown buddies who lives out of town. Apparently it's loved by many. Thus included in this list.

Ayam Kalasan Puspa Sari
Another old-time fav of mine! Javanese 'ayam kalasan' at it's best. Sweet fried chicken, those tempeh 'bacem' and sambal... YUM! a little bit pricier side but... worth every cent! Also, while you're at it, try their 'Tahu Telor' as well.

Sour Sally
Not exactly indonesian food nor it is only available in Palembang. But I'm glad they're in town! Fell in love with the Bblack sakura froyo [with active charcoal] the first time I tried it back in Jakarta and I gotta say this is my fav froyo to date. [YES - if you're wondering - I tried Llao Llao]
Black sakura is available in 4 sizes, small [1 topping], medium [2 toppings], Lykone [in cone] and riche [like llao llao's Sanum!] I personally prefer to have the medium sized topped with longan and their signature mochi!
Price Range: idr.55-60K/pax

El’s Coffee
Calling all coffee-addicts, Get your caffeine fix here! #betterthanstarbucks. A proper cafe, convenient parking, nice, spacious place, proper and affordable coffee, with beautiful latte art! not a coffee person? well, they have bunch of other drinks for you to enjoy! That's not all, meals, snacks, desserts [including cakes] are available too!
Personally, I enjoy their latte, be it cafe latte or Latte Macchiato. Might or might not be because of the latte art #smirk.
