About Lontong

Lontong is a traditional Southeast Asian dish, widely popular in Indonesian, Malaysian, and Singaporean cuisines. It consists of rice cooked in a banana leaf, which gives it a distinct cylindrical shape and subtle earthy aroma. The rice is steamed until tender, resulting in a dense yet soft texture. Lontong is often served as a side dish or accompaniment to savory meals such as satay, curries, or soups like soto. Nutritionally, lontong is low in fat and offers a good source of carbohydrates, making it a quick energy booster. Its simple ingredients make it naturally gluten-free. However, due to its high carb content and lack of protein or fiber, it’s best enjoyed in combination with protein-rich or vegetable-based dishes for a balanced meal. Since it is traditionally made with white rice, it may have a higher glycemic index, so portion control is recommended for those monitoring blood sugar levels.
