Soto Praban - Surabaya

Rich & Tasty Indonesian Soup

 Saya termasuk doyan soto, tapi jarang makan soto di luar kantor saya di kompleks Ambengan Plasa, berhubung rasa soto di sini juga enak.
Kali ini saya berkunjung ke Soto Praban, yang lokasinya tidak jauh dari Ambengan, ada di perempatan Gemblongan dan Praban.


I like eating Soto but seldom tries the dish outside my office area in Ambengan Plasa, since the street vendor here makes a killer Soto, which makes me contempt not trying other versions.
Luckily for me, this time a group of friends invited me to try this Soto Praban, it's quite close to my office area too, in the corner of Gemblongan and Praban street.

Soto, sroto, tauto, or coto is a traditional soup mainly composed of broth, meat and vegetables of Indonesian cuisine. Normally many traditional soups are called soto, whereas foreign and Western influenced soups are called sop.

Soto is sometimes considered Indonesia's national dish, as it is served from Sumatra to Papua, in a wide range of variations. Soto is omnipresent in Indonesia, available in many an open-air eateries and on many street corners to fine dining restaurants and luxurious hotels.
Soto, especially soto ayam (chicken soto), is considered as Indonesian counterpart of chicken soup. Because it is always served warm with tender texture, in most of Indonesian households it is considered an Indonesian comfort food

Soto Ayam (Soto Praban) - Rp 10.000

 Selain Soto di sini ada juga pempek, sayangnya belum sempat saya foto pempeknya.
Seperti biasa, urusan makanan selera juga pengaruh, sebagian ada yang suka, sebagian ada yang menganggap rasanya biasa saja. Untuk masalah harga, di sini termasuk murah, Rp 10.000, hanya beda Rp 2.000 dengan soto langganan di kantor yang hanya kaki lima.


Apart from the Soto, there's also another dish which is fish based, Pempek. Too bad I didn't get the chance to take photo of it.
As usual, food is a matter of taste, some friends like the Soto, while other said it taste just so-so. The price is quite reasonable though, just costs Rp 10.000, which is only Rp 2.000 difference from my usual street vendor Soto in office.
