Cilok
Cilok (Aksara Sunda: ) is an Indonesian ball-shaped dumpling made from "aci" (tapioca starch), a Sundanese snack originated from West Java, Indonesia. In Sundanese, cilok is an abbreviation of "aci dicolok" or "poked tapioca", since the tapioca balls are poked with "lidi" skewers made from the midrib of the coconut palm frond. 

The size of cilok balls may vary, but it is usually about the same size as another Indonesian favourite bakso meatballs. Cilok balls are boiled until cooked or deep fried in ample of cooking oil, and might be served with peanut sauce, "kecap manis" (sweet soy sauce), sambal, bottled chili sauce, or served in soup. The texture of cilok is quite chewy, its shape and texture is quite similar to Japanese dango, although almost all of cilok variants are savoury compared to sweet dango.

Cilok is a popular street snack, usually sold by travelling vendors using cart or bicycle frequenting residential areas, marketplace, busy street-side, or stationed in front of a school. The chewy tapioca balls with savoury peanut sauce is a popular snack among Indonesian school children.
