Of all those names, none is probably more closely associated with Bandung than peyeum, the Sundanese word for tapai or tape.
Tapai or tape as some of you may know is a kind of fermented food made of carbohydrate food source such as cassava or glutinous rice. It tastes sweet with a little bit sour flavor. As you can see in the picture, Peyeum Bandung is typically made of cassava.

When I lived in Magelang, a friend of mine from Semarang told me that he really likes 'roti Bandung'.. I didn't understand what he meant until one day he showed me the food. It was apparently 'martabak'! :)
In the Philippines, we make good cassava cake from grounding cassava and making it into paste.
That's really interesting. All new to me.
Hmmm..looks good. We have here tapai that is made of rice.Have not tasted one made of cassava yet.Oh yes I like 'air bandung'. Here we add rose syrup,water and milk plus ice to create the air bandung.Without the milk we call it just as ' air manis'.
How interesting! So is there a filling inside the "tape" or is it the same stuff all the way through?
