Republik Telo, Lawang, Malang
( The Republic of Cassava, Lawang , Malang, East Java, Indonesia )
Cassava or sweet-potato or T E L O in our local language, is very popular food especially for people in Java . Today if you visit " Republik Telo " in Lawang, about 20km from Malang in the direction of Surabaya, you will find thousand faces of cassava. Cassava-Juice, Cassava-Donut, Cassava-Cracker, Cassava-Cakes, Cassava-Cokies etc etc. And of course there are several iconical-cassava : " cassava-bakpia " and " cassava-bakpao " ( ups .. sound similar but they are different ! ).
For your dietary-programm, this corner seems to be the right spot. Just have cassava- bread and cassava-juice for your lunch instead of your nasi-goreng or steak, ok ?
And for your beloved one at home, even thousand miles away from you, a small package of cassava-cracker or bakpia-telo will be the warmest " souvenir " you ever bring for them !
