This is one of my favorite food from East Java (Lamongan), Indonesia.
In my neighborhood  every day, there is a strolling food vendors. Usually @ 9 pm, we still had supper! If you are have a healthy living style, it's crazy to think to have this big supper @ 9 pm but I did that when I was young.  I can't miss this food after long discussion w/my parents.
