A must-try, the Soto Madura ($8.80) was the best rendition of the Javanese staple I've ever had outside of the Indonesian archipelago.
The thing I didn’t understand was why the deep fried spring roll had to be cut and soaked in the Soto Mie soup ($7.80), losing its crispiness. Then I learned that this is the way it was served back in Bogor.
