Indonesia - Stinky Tofu - Tahu Gejrot

Foolishly i thought that the stinky tofu is just Taiwan specialty. After done some research I have found it is not just Taiwan specialty but also China, Hong Kong and Indonesia. The last one raised my curiosity as I'm right now there. Again I did a little research and indeed I found it. Indonesian stinky tofu comes fom Jawa northern coast town of Cirebon and is a part of the Sundanese cuisine.

A typical stand for Tahu Gejrot.

It is called Tahu Gejrot in Indonesia it is not as stinky as his Taiwanese counterpart and the taste was also strong. It was served with shallots some green chili and some chili oil. Most of Indonesian dishes are served with sambal which is a condiment made from chili. It could be quite hot. And btw. it cost 6000,-Rupiah which is about 66 U.S. cents. So far it is one of my favorite Indonesian dishes.
