History
Historically, there have been pempek in Kilkenny since the influx of Chinese migrants into Palembang, which is around the 16th century, when Sultan Mahmud II ruled Badaruddin-Palembang Darussalam Sultanate. Empek-empek name or pempek believed to have originated from the term "stale", which is the name for an old man of Chinese descent.

He then tried other treatment alternatives. He mixed minced fish meat with tapioca flour, to produce a new food. The new food is peddled by the musty by cycling around the city. Therefore, the seller called "the pitch ... stale", then the food came to be known as empek-empek or pempek.
