SATE KLOPO - PASAR KEMBANG

raw satay

seasoned with soy sauce

barbecue time

they're ready

Still in the same area, around Pasar Kembang, I found SATE KLOPO, means Coconut Satay, this is also one of the Surabaya culinary heritage. Basically this dish is the same like other satay dishes served with peanut cream and soy sauce, the different is the main ingredients is meat that marinated in coconut based marination that make the meat tender and fresh with coconut scent especially after their barbecued for some time, the aroma will raise your appetite.

ready to served

This satay served in thick peanut cream with smoky aroma and the meat was so yummy and I can still taste the coconut in every bites.
the Price is also affordable, only IDR 12.000 for 10 satay. must try this unique satay while you come to Surabaya.(jmz)

SOTO MADURA - PASAR KEMBANG

The next morning, we planned to go to Kebun Binatang Surabaya, the only one zoo in Surabaya City, but before, I have to find something for breakfast. So, we went to Pasar Kembang, the meaning is Flower Market, but don't thing this market of flowers, this is just ordinary traditional market which sell daily needs. Why they called it Pasar Kembang or Flower Market? because sometime in a year they have some sellers whose sell flowers for special events, like Ramadhan, Chinese New Year, New year etc.

Finally we found this SOTO MADURA, this is another soto but origanted from Madura island. This soto is lighter than the other soto since it's using more beef fat on their soup, that mean we have to eat this while it hot or else the fat will be stick in your mouth.

The taste is also refreshing, we can add lime water in to it to levitate the freshness. One portion will get 4 pieces of meat, intestine, or other organ of a cow but they are well season and very tasty. It served with rice and fried garlic and you can add some chili sauce if you want it.

The great is the price, they only charge you IDR 10.000 for one portion and IDR 5.000 for half portion. It very cheap especially if you were in Jakarta, you will not able to get a great food with this price. It a must try item when you are short of cash and around Pasar Kembang area.
