Tahu Aci Slawi

Tahu Aci Randualas, Slawi
Typical Tahu Tegal        


TAHU ACI. Processed one knows that I enjoy doing as a child is to tahu aci. Basically the idea is no different from aci fried tofu to be cooked at home (different from the idea for a snack, a sort of knew Sumedang, Semarang, hollow pong know a lot). The difference is the additional leveling compound (tapioca flour) marinated garlic and chopped chives, which is affixed to the section? Pedestal? tahu this triangular.

 In warm, eaten with chili, people will easily spend ten pieces out of this aci. The existence of a tasty chewy leveling compound, which distinguishes know by tahu brontak aci (land knows contains a mixture of vegetables, native of Yogya). First, know the leveling compound can be obtained only in the surrounding Tegal. More if walking towards Navan, surrounding Slawi-Banjaran. Aka but, with the development of culinary tastes, the seller tahu aci began to spread to many places. One of them, I've seen, in a large supermarket in Jakarta.


 In around Tegal alone, along with the satay, tofu is aci culinary icons of this city. Is to know that since the beginning Randualas known as the manufacturers know aci. First, know aci Randualas identical to tahu, although there's more sellers tahu that other aci.

 Randualas own name be used because in the next stall know it's Slawi randualas trees grow fairly large. After the rainy season, these trees usually look beautiful because of the reddish flowers will appear. Conversely, when the dry season, as well as other kapok tree, this tree will wither. The leaves are falling.Is deceased Wonopurwoto who pioneered selling out ACI since 1956, which became known as the tahu Randualas. Of the eight children, currently only child number 3 (Wonowijoyo) who continued his father's business.There are several kinds of a la Tegal tahu this, but know aci. Aci know is to tahu the box is cut into a triangle and given the leveling compound, then fried. In addition to tahu aci, other preparations are also popular Plethok tahu. Called Plethok tahu this, in warm, pretty hard to eat. At first, the idea is the result of creativity Plethok aci traders know the unsold merchandise. Tofu is made from aci know which split into thin, then fried again and added leveling compound. Because that's fried twice to know to be hard. However, now knows plethok more contrived than aci tahu? Fresh?. Know aci freshly baked, processed again to tahu plethok. The result is the same, still hard and still? Worth it? called out plethok.As the seller tahu that ACI has long been recognized locally, tahu Randualas not attempt to change the stall into a modern look, or opening branches in other places. When I recently visited this shop, it's still the same as the early 1970s, when I still lived in around Tegal.According to one child Wonopurwoto I had met, under normal circumstances they are able to sell up to one thousand pieces of aci sehainya tahu. On a regular holiday, Saturday or Sunday, this number could increase to 2000-2500 pieces. Lebaran period, when traffic lanes Tegal-Navan become very dense, is the busiest period for Randualas tahu. They must bekeja hard to provide 8000 to 10,000 pieces a day out.

 As a seller knows that already existed since a long time, tahu Randualas is known by many people who live around Tegal, or they used through the Tegal-Navan. Yesterday afternoon in early July, I met a gentleman from Navan who bought dozens of baskets out and tahu plethok aci. He said, make treats family events in Navan. As people Tegal, said the father was, he would be billed? Where tahu Randualas? Her, if not carrying these foods.If you happened to pass from the direction Porwokerto Slawi, know Randualas is to the left the road, before entering the city Slawi. The most easy to use as is the approximate existing water tower on the left. From the water tower, Randualas know there are about 200-300 meters. Bon appetite!
