Special Culinary from Gresik: Cubung and Satru

Cubung and Satru

Everybody knows about Gresik, the district in East Java who is famous as the Muslim Students City (Kota Santri). Yet, in this moment, I give you a souvenir that will shake your tongue, the typical culinary from Gresik, that is Cubung, Satru, and Pudak.

Cubung is food that made from black sticky rice flour (tepung ketan hitam) by sesame topping. So, the taste is sweet and little salty.

Cubung, So Yummy, Sweet and Little Salty with Sesame Topping

Cubung, Black but Sweet

Instead of, Cubung, there is also Satru, that is made from green beans. The taste is also so sweet. 

Satru, Sweet Moment with Satru :)

Menus of Warung Lumayan

Botok Iwak Kali, Spicious

This Warung Lumayan provides many Javanese traditional foods such as botok Iwak Kali (fresh water fish), fried duck, kare, soup, lodeh, etc. The most interesting thing from Warung Lumayan, is the buyers can pick the rice , the vegetables, soup, and side dish (lauk) by themselves. So, the buyers can estimate the sum of dishes that they need and want. Except, beverages, because, the waiter and waitress must prepare the kind of juice and other beverages in order that the beverages is fresh and cold before served.

The Buyers Serves Themselves

Moreover, the service is also fast. So, the buyers may not wait for a long time to get their drinks.

The other that interesting from Warung Lumayan is that the parking area that commodious and free. There are also toilets for ladies and gents, and Mosque (Mushollah). Warung Lumayan also provide Lesehan, so the people can enjoy their dishes by enjoying the outdoor scenes. I think it is so hillarious when we take a minutes there in the long trip from Surabaya to Malang or other places.
