Beef Black Savoury Indonesian Soup (Rawon)

Beef Black Savoury Indonesian Soup (Rawon) Review

Hi to all of my beloved blog readers! Today, I'm gonna share to you about one of Indonesian soups. Okay, I will do a review and my mouth can't stop watering now haha. Indonesia has many various soups depend on the region. I was so lucky because I could try Beef Black Savoury Soup known as Rawon in Indonesia. 

So, that is the photo inside of Rawon Restaurant. I had a super lucky chance to try Rawon owned by Gunawan family. Thank you so much dear for bringing me there! 

As I mentioned before, this Rawon stall is fulled by vintage things. There are old bicycle, candles, big glass jar, and another vintage stuffs. They also sell oleh-oleh (gift brought back from a trip) special from some East Java Province cities. 

The stall (rumah makan) is owned by Gunawan (Kho Gwan Ling), a Chinese-Indonesian. This Rawon stall located on Jalan Dr. Sutomo No. 2 Probolinggo. If you were in Probolinggo, you could go to the Bromo Mountain too, which is one of popular tourist destinations. I think it's popular Rawon so if you ask people there where is Rawon Gunawan, they will give you an answer :)

Gunawan family also sell Soto soup, Gado-Gado (Indonesian Salad with Spicy Peanut Sauce and boiled egg). The price for Rawon ranges from IDR 10.000-30.000 (U$ 1-3) depends or your side dish. 

Rawon

I ordered Rawon in half portion. You can see that Rawon has black colour because of Keluak (black nuts) and another spices like garlic, ginger, shallot, turmeric, red chillies etc. It usually served with rice, baby bean sprout, chilli sambals, garlic or shrimp crackers, salted preserved egg too. 

Side Dishes and Sambals

I really like Rawon taste, it has strong nutty and spicy flavor. You can order it along with fried Tempe, fried beef. You can buy tasty Rawon in East Java cities like Surabaya, Probolinggo. 

Garlic Crackers

I think this is one of the best foods that I have ever tried. It's so affordable and delicious. Will  I go back to buy Rawon? Definitely YES! 

This is my review about Beef Black Savoury Indonesian Soup a.k.a Rawon. Hope you enjoy reading my review. See you!
