Tahu Telor Pak Jayen Pusat — Restaurant in Surabaya

When their price tag was about Rp10.000,- per portion. They used to be my favorite place to hangout and dine in. It's been several years since the last time I visited this place.

I just got here tonight to have a dinner and found out the taste wasn't like what I used to remember before. Now their price tag has adjusted to Rp15.000,- per portion.

Okay, here are my recent reviews for the meal.

The peanut paste was kinda weak in taste and a bit bland. Their beaten egg also pretty plain and tasteless. They're already prepared a pre cooked food / ready to serve for dine in customer, so their friend tofu wasn't that appetizing.

What I used to remember, they always made a freshly cooked menu and freshly made peanut sauce. So no wonder if the order queue got so long and the waiting time was around 30-50 minutes / person.

At the time I felt it was worth the wait. And they always prioritize those whom want to second order their meal.

And now sadly, it wasn't like what I've had remembered.

How could I just visiting the restaurant, after several years in Surabaya. As tahu tek tek lovers, the restaurant is a must visit restaurant. Though a bit pricey compared to kaki lima version, its really recommend for you to try.

The terasi of peanut sauce was not overwhelming, it just okay. I myself always order double fried egg. 🤤. The only thing that overwhelmed was the cracker or kerupuk they gave, too generous. Better you ask the kerupuk to be in separated plate.

The restaurant was bit small, but still adequate. They only provide mineral water and tea bottle as drink, so you could not order another drink. The service was fast, enjoy the tek-tek sound when they cut the tahu from its scissor.

Well, better to prepare cash since I was not sure you could pay by QRIS or by other electronic payment or not.

The location was in Darmahusada area, easy to access from Surabaya Pusat or Surabaya Timur. The parking lot was a little bit limited, so if you bring a car, maybe you will ended parking at...

The best tahu telor in town! Most of time the place always crowded, usually I ordered through Grab, but like most of the dishes which it always better when we eat it hot directly from the kitchen so once a while you should try eating in here, when it come the plate fully cover with crackers so make difficult to eat, TIPS: when place the order to asked them to separate the crackers in different plate, You should tell them how much chilies you want, TIPS: if you not like spicy then better to tell them to add only 1 or max 2 chilies, In 1 portion contain fried eggs, tofu, potatoes, and rice cake, TIPS: to order "2 telor pakai tahu dan kentang, tidak pakai lontong" The taste of the sauce was so rich and tasteful, I believe the key is they used a good quality of...
