"A Bowl of Warm Cilok, a Pleasure that Warms the Heart and Stomach"
Jakarta- Cilok, one of
Indonesia's traditional specialties precisely in the Java archipelago, namely
West Java, has been known to the world, with its taste and practicality making
cilok easy for customer to make independently. Cilok, which stands for
"aci dicolok" in Sundanese, are balls of tapioca flour cooked/steamed
in hot water and served with peanut sauce or chili sauce. However, cilok has
now become more than just street food.
In recent years, culinary vendors in Indonesia have taken
inspiration from the traditional cilok and presented it in various interesting
variants. Cilok now comes in various forms such as adding chicken as an
additional ingredient and also chocolate tofu in which there is cilok dough to
fill the void of the chocolate tofu, a variant of this form used by "cilok
bunda kim", and also a thick red chili sauce mixed with sweet soy sauce
that makes it different from other cilok.
In addition, the uniqueness of the food offered by
"cilok bunda kim" is made by the seller himself, starting from
chicken cilok, stuffed tofu, and also the special sauce that makes cilok more
famous. In selling cilok it is still very simple, located in front of the lion
air package shop or in front of the owner's house gate, using a red cart
coupled with a coffee shop.
In
an interview with one of the visitors of "cilok bunda kim", Mrs.
syahna, she said, "Since I knew there was cilok bunda kim here, about 2
years ago and I like this food because of its good texture and soft taste, and
the chewy chicken flavor. The chocolate tofu is also crispy and the cilok
filling is also plentiful. And one more thing that makes this cilok perfect is
the sambal that gives the cilok a savory taste."
Therefore,
cilok culinary has a lot of fans and also creates new variations for consumers.
One of them is at the "cilok bunda kim" shop which offers chewy
chicken cilok and also crispy chocolate tofu and thick red chili sauce that
makes the taste delicious. Outline: kp. pulo rt 06, in front of the lion air
