Peuyeum [pe'-er ye'oom], sometimes referred to as Tape telur [tah-phe te-lur] is a fermented food prepared with Cassava root. The term telor actually means egg or white, and for some reason the term is also used for tape in certain parts of Indonesia. This is possibly in the sense that the tape is white in reference to good quality of the fermented cassava. In Bandung, west Java, tape cultured with cassava root is known as Peuyeum [Sunda or Sundanese]. In west Java, Peuyeum Bandung is a popular term used for this particular cultural product. Due to the slight presence of alcohol produced by fermentation, peuyeum has very slight bitter taste, however it is more than compensated by the dominant sweet and unique taste. Often served with fermented black sticky rice.
