Rawon/ Beef Black Nuts Soup





Rawon means black beef soup.  The black colour originated from keluak or black nuts.   
I find description rawon from wikipedia : 
'Rawon  is a strong rich tasting traditional Indonesian beef black soup. Originally from Surabaya in Indonesia Privince of East Java. It uses black nuts/keluak (Pangeum edule, fruits of kepayang/keluak tree) as the main spice which gives the strong nutty flavor and dark color to the soup'.
Rich taste and fresh makes rawon spread to the other city of Indonesia and keluak as a star from this soup.

Wikipedia says:
'In Indonesian the term semprong means "tube" or "roll", while sepit derived from jepit which means "clip". Both semprong and sepit are known as almost identical wafers, with the different only in its shape; the roll-shaped is called semprong, while the triangular-folded shape is called sepit. Both variants are called as sapit or sepit in Malaysia, regardless of its shape. Traditional kue semprong are hollow, the new variants however, might add fillings, such as Chocolate or cheese.

Semprong is one of many my favourite snacks, I feel smell of  sesame and coconut milk as a mixture with unique taste.  Many snacks store has a 2 or more varian of semprong and this is my favourite one.
