About
Here the beef and the broth arrive in separate bowls, so you can taste the dark keluwak soup on its own before adding the tender meat. The seasoning leans sweet and salty, and fried empal is a popular add-on. Jalan Gajah Mada was Sidoarjo's old Chinese trading street, so combine lunch with a stroll past its old shophouses.
- Meat and broth served separately
- Sweet-salty East Java seasoning
- On historic Jalan Gajah Mada
