Have you ever wondered where you can find certain kinds of traditional dessert food in Surabaya? Or have you ever considered what some of the traditional foods of the Surabaya people are? There is one in particular that is special from the Surabaya area and the name is Rujak Manis. This is a traditional fruit salad that tastes very sweet and delicious. It is made from fruits such as mango, tofu (tahu), watermelon, jackfruit (nangka), jambu and many other kinds of fruits. Not only that, but Rujak also has a different sauce that the street vendors (sellers) have prepared very well. They have blended the sauce from brown sugar mixed with peanuts and cinnamon. If you are interested in trying Rujak Manis, please remember that if you do not want your sauce to be hot (spicy), ask them not to add any spices or ‘sambel’ (tidak mau pedas) in your sauce. You also have the option of choosing which fruits you would like to have in your Rujak Manis by just telling the vendor at the time of purchase. If you are a visitor or have just moved to Surabaya and you want to enjoy Rujak Manis you can buy this along the Dr Soetomo Street. The price of this delicious fruit dessert averages around 5,000rp. The Rujak street vendors will always sell Rujak everyday beginning at 9:00 o’clock in the morning until 17:00 o’clock in the evening. So when you come to Surabaya always remember Rujak Manis the taste of Surabaya people….don’t miss it!
