but awesomely i found several foods and beverages that i'll recommended for all the readers to try (Well, absolutely all the foods are located in Surabaya and surrounding)
1. Klepon Wahyu
I found this traditional snack in my grand mother's house. seems someone just bought it for her. the taste was awesome. it has 'gula jawa' that melted precisely when i bite the klepon. some klepon in Jakarta is over chewy (some of seller sometimes add any kind of hazardous chemical things) but 'klepon wahyu' is not very chewy but still solid.
the ingredients to make klepon is very easy. this is the ingredients:
- 500 gram tepung ketan
- 2 ons gula merah atau secukupnya
- 1 sendok makan kapur sirih
- 1 ons parutan kelapa atau disesuaikan saja.
- 10 lembar daun suji
- Garam secukupnya
- Air hangat

2. Tahun Tek Surabaya
or sometimes people called it 'Tahu Telur Surabaya'. this simple dish contains of tofu/tahu mixed up with scramble egg then put it in a fry pan until it's perfectly cooked, bean sprouts, little bit lettuce, lontong, and sambal petis for dressing. and oh, don't forget the crackers for compliment.

the ingredients for Tahu Telur Surabaya is:
2 potong tahu putih
1 butir telur kocok lepas
garam secukupnya
Sambal / saus :
