Rujak cingur

Rujak Cingur is a vegetables salad with spicy sauce. Literally "cingur" means mouth in Javanese. This food has become the unique taste of Surabaya. The flavour is really unique, because it combines of slices of cooked buffalo or beef lips, yam bean (bengkuang), young raw mango, pineapple, cucumber, bean sprout, kangkung ( water convolvulus), lontong (compressed rice), fried tofu and tempe, all served with  black sauce made from fried garlic, chillies, a slice of young banana,  petis (black fermented shrimp paste) and ground peanuts.
