6. Primadona Prol Tape
The Primadona shop is the epicenter of Jember souvenirs. This shop is well-known for its two main products, the basic cassava tape ingredients prol tape and shredded suwar-suwir. Prol tape is a yellow cassava tape-based cake. After stirring the dough, it is formed into a rectangle the size of brownies and baked.
We have four topping options to choose from, namely cheese-raisins, cheese-chocolate, walnuts, and original. It feels so genuine. The prol that we provide is always hot out of the oven. “The tape is made from cassava from Jember,” said Rendra Wirawan, owner of Toko Primadona.
Meanwhile, in 1984, suwar-suwir was Primadona’s first product. The main ingredients were white cassava tape and sugar, which were stirred while heating in a large frying pan at 70 degrees Celsius for 4-5 hours, just like dodol. When the processed results have cooled, they are cut into small pieces or shredded. There are several flavours to choose from, including soursop, chocolate, milk, pineapple, and durian.

Tourists are drawn to the process of making prol tape and suwar-suwir before purchasing them as souvenirs. (Burhan Abe/Photos: Doc. HAM)
