Surabaya is the second largest city after Jakarta (although I am more confident as the sixth largest city in Indonesia after Jakarta North, East, West, South and Central, he he he ...) and also has become a metropolitan city with a remarkable development.
I was born in the city of Surabaya and currently still reside in the city of Surabaya. If I'm asked by friends about the typical food of Surabaya Surabaya imagine a row of typical foods like Rujak Cingur, Lontong Racing, Semanggi, Rawon and Tofu Tech. You could say the above five types of food is typical food of Surabaya's most widely known and most sought-after by actuators to eat in Singapore and outside Singapore.
First is Rujak Cingur. For me rujak cingur masterpiecenya food is typical of Surabaya. Why? Due to a serving of salad cingur produce powerful and necessary Endang bambang various aspects such as material quality, the proper way of processing both spices and other ingredients and how the presentation. In addition rujak cingur be special for me because salad is a food cingur Surabaya that had many fans but also many people who do not like death. Rujak cingur Surabaya dalah typical food consisting of boiled vegetables, fruits like pineapple, etc. kedondong plus tofu, tempeh fried and then doused special sauce mixture paste, banana guajava s epiderm, peanuts, shrimp paste is pulverized until well blended. In Singapore there are several places to eat salad cingur like salad is very well known on the street cingur Barbie Barbie. Rujak Delta Delta Plaza shopping upstairs and tiles Cingur Rujak Durasim.
Next is the Semanggi. Clover leaf clover made of (clubs), which grows wild in many fields and yards, served with bean sprouts and doused with the sauce a bit sweet and savory mixture of sweet potato paste and therefore created the sensation of taste is different and unique. Do not forget, most fun clover eaten with crackers puli (siiip .... Enak Christianity !!!). Although this is the typical food of Surabaya but practically quite difficult lho rarely get it because it was selling its unique clover and clover nearly all sales come from Benowo area of Surabaya. So if you're more computer-mediated Surabaya city and saw the mother with a basket strapped to the back with a stack of crackers pulleys then he is the seller Suroboyo clover. In addition there are also several pujasera in Surabaya like pujasera nikimura in Manyar Jaya housing complex or in the supermarket pujasera Jemursari Rays. Who may also want the atmosphere rather nge-high, could come to the Plaza Surabaya Hotels aja.
The third is Lontong Racing. Frankly many people often wonder lontong racing tuh hell? How come there is rice cake race? Eh Surabaya own people turned out much i do not know the origin of the name lontong lho race. Gini story, rice cake seller ancient times and the race carried weight because they are so pretty pikulannya walked with a fast rhythm so it looks like he was racing. Racing consists of rice cake rice cake which is cut into pieces with the seasoning paste sambel (always the black from surabaya) and then doused with sauce that has been cooked bean sprouts and above berkuah given lento (cakes of sweet and green beans or peas Tolo) Hhmmm ... taste? Although the black tetep alias pake always paste but the sensation is different from pleasure tetep rujak cingur or clover. Places to eat rice cake famous in Surabaya racing in the street beside the building Gubeng Bank BNI. Fat Pak Lontong racing in front of the cinema Garuda Kranggan road and on the road in front Kepanjen SMPN 2.
After Lontong Racing Surabaya other typical food is Rawon. Rawon stew meat is usually eaten with rice was served in the form alias rice soup poured on top, so often referred also Rawon rawon rice. Rawon usually jet black in color because one of its main ingredient is keluwak and the meat used is beef myopic or sanding the existing layer of fat. Friends complementary prawn crackers are a tasty, salted eggs Egypt, as well as a powerful chili paste. Do not forget the bean sprouts sprinkled with short (drool cool ....). But there are also rawon not jet black but brownish like Rawon Nguling famous and have lots of branches. But in general rawon colored black. Rawon a famous eating place in Surabaya, Rawon Satan (because open 11 hours a night when the devil started to walk, but now dah open from morning) in front of Jalan Embong Malang Hotel JW Marriot, Rawon Mbak Endang which has three branches namely in the way HR Mohammad,. Gentengkali road in front of the hotel and the street Simpang Weta Hamlet. The third stall is Rawon Rawon Calculator on the road side Juwono Bungkul Park. Calculators Rawon own name is given because of time after they finish eating totalan seller will calculate what we eat in a voice loud enough and fast like a "calculator" life.
Last but not least are Know Tech. This one meal consisting of rice cake, tofu and fried potatoes. Then this material is cut bite sized using scissors with the rhythm of a typical (in Jakarta, this dish can be found under the name Know Scissors). Then mix the sauce poured thereon paste (of course) and peanuts, and bean sprouts sprinkled with small and crackers, it tastes good and solid and tasty.

Indeed if not talking about eating in a cornucopia of Surabaya, Surabaya, in addition to the typical food that I've written above still scattered other eating place in Surabaya.
