AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
“This is a totally unique dish from Surabaya. It's a mixture of tofu, bean sprouts, lettuce, noodles, and beef tendon, all topped with a sweet and savory broth that has a strong shrimp paste flavor. The first thing you taste is sweet, then the shrimp paste, then the oily richness of the beef — it's totally unexpected. The tendon is jiggly and gelatinous, and the broth is almost like a gravy. I'd say it's a cross between a dessert and a savory food; you don't totally know what it is, and that's the attraction.”
