Rujak Cingur & Rawon cheap-eats around Genteng / Tunjungan
Surabaya's two signature dishes are best eaten at humble warungs in the old Genteng area: rujak cingur, a bold salad of fruit, vegetables and chewy beef snout in fermented shrimp-paste sauce, and rawon, an inky-black beef soup darkened with keluak nuts. Long-running spots like Rujak Cingur Genteng Durasim (since 1943) and the famous Rawon Setan on Embong Malang serve them for a few dollars. This is the most authentic budget food experience in the city.
