Tahu Gejrot

Tahu Gejrot is a spicy tofu dish food from Cirebon, a port town in West Java, Indonesia. Tahu gejrot consists of tahu pong, a type of hollow tahu goreng (fried tofu) cut into small pieces. It is served with a thin and watery dressing that is made by blending palm sugar, vinegar and sweet soy sauce. It is usually served in a small earthenware bowl or layah, with ground garlic, pounded shallot and hot cabe rawit (bird's eye chili) cut into pieces to add spiciness. Again you can find this in major tourist spots and are not that expensive, around Rp. 12000 per portion and you are welcome to have seconds since it is that good! And cheap!
