Surabi, a traditional food from Bandung, Indonesia known
for its soft yet crunchy texture with a sensational combination of sweet and salty
on each bite. Your trip in Bandung will not be perfect without enjoying this
food.
Surabi sellers in Bandung have been developing their own
recipe of surabi, including the owner of this famous surabi place: Surabi Enhai.
Surabi Enhai is not only famous in Indonesia, but also in Germany. It is famous
for its various options of topping, from the traditional ones to the modern
ones. The customer can choose chocolate, milk, cheese, jackfruit, banana,
durian, cookies & cream, strawberry, sweet corn, or ice cream as their
option of topping. Surabi Enhai also provides the customers who are not fans of
sweet surabi with sausage, chicken, kornet, and telur asin (duck egg that has been processed to add salty flavour
in it) as their topping options. Besides choosing between sweet and meaty
toppings, the customers can also choose their surabi cake to be sweet, salty,
or spicy. Everyone can try the surabi because the price is reasonable enough. Surabi
price in Surabi Enhai ranges from Rp 7,000.00 to Rp 20,000.00 per surabi.
What makes Surabi Enhai more interesting, surabi is not
the only food they sell there. They also sell main courses like rawon, sup iga
(cow ribs soup), fried rice, bubur ayam (porridge with chiken). The customers
can also find non Indonesian main courses like spaghetti bolognese and Pattaya
fried rice. Surabi Enhai also provides their customer with various cold and hot
beverages like tea, coffee, juices, and soft drinks.
Surabi Enhai is located on Jalan Setiabudhi No.186,
Setiabudi, Bandung, right in front of Sekolah Tinggi Pariwisata Bandung (STPB)
which was known as National Hotel Institute (NHI). The customers can feel the friendly
vibe right after stepping inside the place, which makes the place suitable for
family gathering or even just for spending free time. Surabi Enhai opens
everyday from 10 AM until 12 PM so people who love late midnight snacks can go
to the place to enjoy their surabi.
Do not be sad if you cannot go to Bandung to try this
surabi because Surabi Enhai has opened their branches in many towns in
Indonesia: Jakarta, Depok, Padang, Palembang, and Lampung. If you happen to be
in Jakarta, you can pay a visit to Surabi Enhai’s branch on Jalan Pemuda No.
18, Rawamangun, East Jakarta.
