Menu of Tahu Campur Lamongan 37 in Curug Sangereng, Tangerang Regency, Banten, Indonesia

Menu Overview

Tahu Campur Lamongan 37 is a hidden gem nestled inside the bustling Ruko Pasar Paramount in Tangerang. This spot brings an authentic taste of East Java directly to Banten, capturing the essence of Lamongan through its carefully crafted traditional dishes. The restaurant operates under a tent within the Pasar Modern Paramount Tent Cafe area, opening only from 5 pm, which sets a cozy, night-time dining atmosphere without air conditioning but with a pleasant open-air feel.

The star of the menu is undeniably the Tahu Campur, a classic East Javanese dish combining fried tofu, lontong (rice cake), tender kikil (beef tendon)—optional, and fresh vegetables, all blanketed in a rich, dark petis sauce. This fermented shrimp paste sauce is the heart of the dish, boasting a legit, deep umami flavor with sweetness that immediately evokes nostalgia for those familiar with Javanese cuisine. Customer feedback highlights the petis’s quality—legit and thick, a key highlight lending the dish its authentic punch.

Another standout offering is the Tahu Telor, which consists of fried tofu blended with egg, served atop lontong, potatoes, and bean sprouts, generously doused with a savory peanut sauce mixed with petis. This combination of textures—from the crunchy tofu and soft lontong to the crunchy fresh vegetables—creates a harmonious bite. The balance of sweet and savory, paired with the mild spiciness that can be customized, ensures a satisfying experience even for those less inclined toward heat.

The portions are described as standard but generous enough for a fulfilling meal, priced very reasonably at around IDR 25,000 to 28,000 per serving. This price point reflects excellent value considering the freshness and authenticity of ingredients. Dishes like Tahu Tek and Rujak Cingur round out the traditional menu, providing variety with the same commitment to Javanese flavors.

What truly resonates is the emotional connection customers feel—many mention how these dishes cure homesickness, transporting them to East Java through the familiar and comforting depth of petis and the subtle interplay of fresh and cooked ingredients. The atmosphere, authenticity, and affordability make Tahu Campur Lamongan 37 a must-visit for those craving genuine Javanese street food made with care.
