Re-arrange this following text and answer the questions based on the text

Besides natural beauty, East Java is also known for its delicious traditional food. One famous dish is Rawon, a black beef soup made with a special spice called kluwek. The black color gives Rawon a distinctive appearance and rich flavor.

The landscape around Mount Bromo is unique and breathtaking. Visitors can walk across the wide sea of volcanic sand to reach the crater. Many people also ride horses as part of their adventure experience.

Rawon is usually served with warm rice, bean sprouts, and salted egg. The taste is savory, slightly nutty, and very comforting. Many tourists enjoy a bowl of Rawon after exploring the cold and windy area of Mount Bromo.

Mount Bromo is one of the most famous tourism destinations in East Java. It is an active volcano located in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Tourists visit this place to see the stunning sunrise view from the mountain.
