Tahok
Approaching the Chinese New Year celebration, there are certainly some special culinary delights that you must try. Foods such as basket cakes, mandarin oranges, bandeng fish, are popular culinary delights served as dishes during the Chinese New Year. However, there are also Chinese specialties that are famous in Solo, such as Tahok.
Tahok, commonly known as beancurd is one of the typical foods in the city of Solo. This drink is usually served warm with ginger and soy sauce which is compressed and then taken in layers using a special spoon.
If you visit Pasar Gede, you are obliged to try the legendary Tahok from Mr. Citro. The location is right in the south of the Pasar Gede fruit market area (in the morning) and will move to the west if it is near noon. Tahok Pak Citro has long been known by most of the people of Soloraya for generations, you know, so it’s not uncommon for buyers to quickly run out of them.
Besides Tahok in Solo, this warm ginger soup also has other names in various regions, such as in Surabaya people call it Tauwa. The Tauwa dish there is a little different from the Tahok in Solo, apart from ginger and soybean sauce, Tauwa is also added with peanuts and starch porridge to make it a little thicker. Then, in West Java this culinary is called Kembang Tahu while in Jogjakarta it is called Wedang Tahu.
