- Sego Cawuk
Unlike sego tempong, like what we have talked about before, which has spicy and fresh taste, sego cawuk is rather sweet and savory. Such taste is the result of how pindang broth becomes the main ingredient for this menu. The broth is made by heating up some sugar until it’s caramelized and then it’s mixed with some water. The mixture is heated up again until it’s boiled. After that, many herbs are added and lastly, fish (which has been made in pindang) is added.
