Indonesian food is good, but Chinese food has all of my favorite flavors by default and especially fried tofu is one of my favorite snacks from china.
I’ve also had Indonesian crispy fried tofu and other fried dishes that were very good but not transcendental, so I was not expecting this.
But this tahu cabe garam from Yogya is insane. I won’t even be getting the other crispy tofu here I mentioned earlier again; this cabe garam is leagues ahead of it. I literally cannot imagine anything that would improve this dish as a standalone serving of crispy fried tofu.
Whoa! Whoaaaaaa! I think it’s the best thing I’ve had here so far.
I don’t even know the last thing I had at all that was this good.

TL;DW: A number of Indonesian tofu manufacturers burn garbage to cook the tofu…
Thanks I watched it, someone sent it to me last week. Was that you?
Does not change my mind at all on this dish though, haha. The other crispy tofu and oil tasted good but weird, this tofu and oil tasted amaaazing and mad fresh high quality!
Wasn’t me. To be fair, everything has microplastics, may as well be tasty!
Truth, sign me up for the tasty train!
