Lest you think that I eat bakso everyday in Surabaya, let me assure you I try to balance my diet... with more beef....
But the sapi (beef) rawon is simply too good to miss. It reminds me of the beef tripe soup I always enjoy back in Singapore, like the one formerly in Bugis Street now displaced to Jurong West. Of course the taste is entirely different - the Indonesian counterpart packing a delectable oomph with its spices. The oil ensures the soup is sinfully smooth but you must eat it while it's hot so that it doesn't form a deterrent cover of guilt-inducing lard over your soup...
VY packed it for me the first time round and it came separate from the rice. The flavour is somewhat more enticing the second time I ate it - at my favourite pecel stall (review coming up soon, hopefully). The soup is a thicker concoction which envelops the rice in it and delivers its flavour straight into the gaps between the rice grains. What else can I say but 'Yummy"!
