Tahu sumedang, also known as tahu bunkeng, is a deep-fried tofu from Sumedang in West Java, Indonesia, and it belongs to Sundanese cooking. What sets it apart from ordinary fried tofu is its interior: the pieces are half empty or completely hollow once fried, so the inside is creamier than that of normal white tofu. The cooked pieces are light brown with a mottled, crunchy shell and a savory taste, and a Kompas writer, Eko Hendrawan Sofyan, gives their size as about 2.5 to 3 centimetres by 3 centimetres. Tahu sumedang is served with lontong, with various kinds of sambal, with soy sauce or with fresh cabe rawit chilli. The name ties the snack to its town of origin, Sumedang.
