TIWUL



Are you feeling like you wanted to reminisce the past by eating tiwul? Pacitan is the right place. This food is very rare and it is almost impossible to find it in big cities right now. Tiwul used to be staple food for most of Indonesian, but it is getting unpopular as the time goes.
One place to get this food is Sari Laut Restaurant. Located in Pacitan - Solo Main Street, this restaurant provides rice, tiwul, and seafood. The most favorite combination is tiwul and coconut milk-cooked Shark. Wait a minute, Shark?? Okay, YogYES was a little in doubt whether trying it or not. But well, maybe this was the only time to taste this unique combination, wasn't it?
Tiwul is brownie food made from cassava flour. It is a little bit chewy, sweet, and not sticky so that you can feel the special texture. At first, cassava was dried into gaplek and then was milled until it turned into cassava flour. This flour was mixed with a little amount of water until it creates the texture. After that, tiwul was steamed for about an hour and Voila! It is ready to be served. Even though tiwul is low on protein, but it has glucose and rich of calorie, which make it as one of the best energy-source food.
In this restaurant, tiwul is served along with coconut milk-cooked shark. The shark was cut into pieces and then cooked in hot and spicy coconut milk. This gravy make makes tiwul softer and easier to be swallowed. Do not worry; you are not participating in the shark culling. This fish is not the real shark. It just has almost the same shape and appearance. You can add sambal terong (spicy eggplant), lalapan, and sambal mentah if you like. There are also many fried fishes as the side dishes. Hmm..., that taste is just unique and great. You can enjoy this food while enjoying the beautiful view of Teleng Ria Beach.
