Jajan pasar

There are different types of snacks sold in traditional markets in Java: jajan pasar, kue, bolu, and roti.

[2][3][4] However, in urban areas, the word "kue" is used to refer to all kinds of food products mentioned above.

[5] This happened due to a strong influence of Chinese descendants' language use in the areas.

The word "kue" was later adopted to the "Great Indonesian Dictionary" (KBBI) to refer to all kinds of snacks, no matter the origins.

[6][7] The use of kue instead of jajan pasar, has become increasingly widespread as more suburbs and villages become urbanized, blurring the lines between what constitutes as ethnic Javanese food and what's considered peranakan (Chinese-influenced); something that might come across as cultural erasure.
