A modest dish called "Soto Kudus (ala Semarangan)". Yellow-brownish broth filled with chicken tripe (prefer meat only) and tauge (bean sprouts), topped with fried shallots and garlic, kucai (leek), and celery.
The taste resembles of typical comfort soup enriched with local spice, might help soothing your upset and bloating stomach. I used to treat this dish as main course with rice, added sambal, sweet soya sauce, and lime. Perkedel (potato fritters) and kerupuk udang (prawn crackers) are best companions. Some would enjoy sate kerang (mussels satay), telur pindang (braised poached eggs with soya sauce), or tempe bacem (braised tempe with spice & soya sauce). Best served warm, i could have two bowls and walk out happily ever after.
Somehow, this place has been invisible for me more than years. I could not even notice the worn out shophouse without any banner, until yesterday. Sitting on the familiar white table and seeing the wavy old lady, brings me back the memory of particular weekends when my dad usually take us here for dinner. The air thumping in sudden, and i smiled.
