What is "semprong"

Semprong, kue Semprong, Sapit, Sepit, kue Belanda, or Kapit, (Love letters in English) is a traditional wafer snack ( kue or kuih) made by clasping egg batter using an iron mold ( Waffle iron) which is heated up on a charcoal stove. It is commonly found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei.

The mold each has two plates that are clasped tightly together and attached to long handles for manipulating over a charcoal stove. The molds could be plainly flat, corrugated or etched with animal motifs such as fish, roosters and snails that are both auspicious and decorative.
