What the creator captured
Mike Chen Clips & BEST Eats was deeply impressed by the intense, fatty richness of Surabaya's traditional beef soups, particularly the tender beef ribs and the historic black rawon. He found the combination of spicy sambal and fresh lime essential for balancing the heavy, umami-rich flavors of the local breakfast dishes. Despite the sweltering heat of the local eateries, he considered these substantial meat dishes to be the perfect way to start a food day in Indonesia.
