Kompyang is one of traditional cake from china that so popular few years ago. The hard cake is made from flour mixture with salt and water and baking in hot soil stove. The kompyang avoid baking in the oven in order to keep the cake look traditional. Generally kompyang shape and size is the same with traditional cake, Bakpau from china, but few people make it with different shape.
Once upon time, one of the District at Sidoarjo regency east Java, called Krembung has tried to modify the Kompyang to be variation taste, sour taste and filling with chicken source so that more delicious taste. Pak Timin has been Kompyang entrepreneur since 1961, is so diligent to make improvement to this cake. He becomes success kompyang maker and seller. The market of his kompyang can spread to Sidoarjo, Malang, Jember, Probolinggo and Banyuwangi.

Making Kompyang is too easy and the ingredient can buy in every small shop, but the most difficult one, the soil stove to bake it. The soil stove is too specific and you can not buy every where, the soil stove can be found at Gresik east java and the price is expensive too.
