One of Legendary Pempek Restaurant in Surabaya. This was my third visit here, and I've just found out that apparently they first open their outlet in Yogyakarta. They offer you a various kind of Pempek (Fishcake), and several Palembang Foods with medium up pricing.
I ordered a portion of Pempek Selam Special, and Kulit, with add-on (yes it comes with additional charge of 4.5k) topping consist of Mie Kuning, Suun, and diced Timun. Flavour wise, i was expecting a slightly more acidic Cuko (just personal fave), but theirs is good. They have 2 kinds of Cuko, spicy and normal. Both is good, but with slightly acidic, it will be better in my personal taste.

First, i tried without the Cuko, and yes it is more flavourful than their standard. But once i poured the Cuko, the flavour was a little bit drowned in it. Still good, but with what they charged on it, I was expecting little bit more. I will order the normal Selam next time. Also, i spent about 46.5k for this dishes for 1 person. Quite pricey, compared to the taste, but the portion is good. I would rate this probably about 7.5/10. All in all, I will casually stroll here just to find out how they taste in further future.
Oh yes, the dinning area was clean and neat, with cozy ambiance. Ok for 3-6 people, but best with 1-4 people. Staff was nice. They also CHSE...

Read moreI knew this pempek resto long ago when I was attending the university in Jogja. But it is available now in Surabaya city, so it is easier to enjoy the most delicious pempek in town. The vinegar souce is best among pempek elsewhere in town. They provide 2 kinds of souces, the super hot you will never forget. It keeps on calling you back to experience the sensation again and again. You will find various choice of pempek, as well as tekwan.
