Indonesia's Culinary Heritage

Cimol: The Legendary Snack with a Uniquely Craveable Texture

The journey of a Sundanese snack that blends a crispy exterior with a soft, chewy center, finished with savory seasoning powder that generations have never stopped craving.

Historical Roots

Born From the Phrase "Aci Digemol" on the Street Corners of Bandung

The name cimol is an abbreviation of the Sundanese phrase aci digemol, meaning tapioca dough (aci) shaped by rolling it into balls by hand (digemol). Rooted in Bandung's street-food tradition, cimol has been an important part of Indonesia's street-food landscape since the 1990s.

Its humble ingredients never held back its popularity, if anything, it was the skilled hands of street vendors mixing tapioca dough with their secret seasoning that turned cimol into one of the most iconic snacks accompanying the childhood of millions of Indonesians.

Philosophy & Tradition

A Crispy Outside, Chewy Inside Sensation, Paired With Your Choice of Seasoning Powder

Enjoying cimol is a distinctive sensory experience, especially in the frying process, which takes a special trick to cook it perfectly without popping too much.

The Perfect Textural Contrast

The first bite delivers a slightly crisp outer skin, followed by a soft, chewy center.

The Seasoning Powder Ritual

Cimol's flavor hinges on how it's tossed with seasoning powder, from sweet-spicy balado and savory cheese to pure chili powder, all shaken evenly inside a small plastic bag.

The Traditional Way to Eat It

Best enjoyed with a small bamboo skewer while still warm, straight from the street vendor's wok.
