They are now referred to as the Wali Songo, and are revered as saints.

The second claim to fame is as Indonesia's capital of the clove cigarette, kretek. The town is home to one of the biggest brands,Djarum, employing 75,000 workers.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Kudus

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Kudus

Jenang — this palm sugar and coconut milk confection is the gift of choice for visitors wanting to take something back for family or friends. There are a plethora of small stalls clustered around the mosque, selling religious paraphernalia, but also jenang
Soto Kudus spices — if you wander in to the maze of streets to the side of, and behind the mosque, you may see signs offering the spices for Soto Kudus, for sale. You'll get a little twist of paper with enough ground spices for one dish. Sauté onion and garlic in a splash of oil, add the contents of the wrapper and cook til smelling delicious. Add hala Meat or vegetables of your choice, enough stock to cover, and simmer til done. That's probably how the recipe goes. Grease it up with some coconut milk if you have any. Remember, no beef please, but buffalo is OK if you have it.

Halal Food & Restaurants

The dish which bears the town's name is Soto Kudus, a soup served with Rice. This is the local version of the generic dish that is found across the archipelago in a myriad of local varieties. In Kudus the hala Meat tends to be Chicken of buffalo. There seems to be a local presumption against eating beef from cows, perhaps in recognition of the town's pre-Islamic Hinduism. The spicing for the soup is heavier with the warm notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, reminiscent of the Curries of south Asia.
