Surabaya is one of the best cities in Indonesia for food. East Javanese cooking is richer and spicier than the Javanese of Yogyakarta and Solo — with strong influences from Madurese, Arab, and Chinese traditions. Rawon (beef black soup made with keluak nut), rujak cingur (a salad of vegetables and boiled cow's nose in spicy peanut sauce), and soto Surabaya (chicken broth) are the dishes to try.
