Rawon Setan ("Devil's Rawon") — the legendary Surabaya rawon stall that has operated since the 1950s and serves rawon ONLY at night (from 5PM until sold out, usually by midnight). The name "Setan" (devil) is colloquial — reflecting the jet-black colour of the soup and its addictive quality. It has become a pilgrimage destination for Indonesian food enthusiasts. The rawon itself follows the standard keluak technique (INDO-KELUAK-01) but Rawon Setan's version is distinguished by an especially concentrated bumbu and a broth that is blacker and more intensely flavoured than most versions — the keluak proportion is higher.
