- Lontong Balap -



Hi peeps... craving these food over a month ago... browsed the net, found the recipes... I tried it with adding this 'n that according my taste,  ... voooaalaaaa... I've made it... It's not same like the originally that I use to eat but it's ok laaaahhh for beginner...

Some says, Lontong Balap is the original food of Surabaya, besides Semanggi Suroboyo, and Rujak Cingur. I bet you are laughing when you read the name of this food. Literally, lontong is translated as rice cake and balap means racing. The name of this dish was obtained because of the antiquity of the vendors. They used to sell by walking and carrying “pikulan” on their shoulder. Pikulan consists two woven baskets that are attached by one sturdy stick. Due to the heavinessof bearing the weight, they seemed like in a rush and run fast like a race. 

Lontong Balap consists rice cakes, fried tofu, lentho made of cassava with black eye peas fritters ( in Surabaya called Kacang Tholo) and generous bean sprouts then doused with prawn chili paste (Sambal Petis).Though, many vendors use a cart and no more pain on their shoulder nowdays, this dish is still called Lontong Balap. To accompany this food, people usually add clam/shellfish satay and refresh with young coconut ice afterward.
