Kripik or keripik are Indonesian chips or crisps,[1] bite-size snack crackers that can be savoury or sweet.
Together with krupuk, the etymology of the term kripik is believed as an onomatopoeia in Indonesian to describe the crunch sound of this crispy snack.
[8] However, just like the potato chip industry in the Western counterpart, in Indonesia today it is common to encounter mass-produced packed kripik snacks in warung shops, minimarkets, and supermarkets.
[9] In Indonesia, kripiks are often sold as oleh-oleh or food gifts to be brought home after travel.
[12] Bukittinggi city in West Sumatra on the other hand is famous for its Keripik sanjay, a hot and spicy cassava chips coated with balado chili sauce.
