I challenge you to try this hot and spicy dish! Entok is a local language that translates to duck. While Rica Rica means cooked spicy. Rica Rica Entok is served along with a side of rice. The cuisine looks similar to the soup. The tender meat of the Entok is cooked with spicy coconut milk that is not too thick.
Try adding a sprinkle of crispy savory shallots to elevate it! As an additional side, add papaya leaves and large-cut fried tempeh. The papaya leaves in this restaurant are not that bitter. So what are you waiting for? Grab it at only for IDR 25,000 / portion with rice or IDR 20,000 / portion without rice.

Rawon is known as a halal-traditional cuisine from East Java. It may look a bit odd as the soup’s color is black. Once you move your spoon inside Rawon, you will find pretty thick slices of beef.
The taste is pretty bold due to the blend of spices, lemongrass, and orange leaves. Don’t forget to add Mendol (processed tempeh) to go along with your bowl of Rawon Kemari. You only need to pay IDR 12,000 for a bowl of Rawon Kemari.
