Istana Raja Cobra

2 weeks ago, SC took me to this place called "Istana Raja Cobra". Yes, its a restaurant that served "Fear Factor" food. from their menu there were : snake, "biawak", "Bulus", Monkey, "kalong", rabbit & "bulus" cooked into : abon, deep fried, satay and soup. the snake came from various type : kobra hitam, piton/sanca, Belang, Lanang Sapi, Kali Mangsa, hijau Lowo, Tanah. I didn't dare to ate some of the item mentioned in the menu, so we only ordered : "Cobra Soup" 12.5K and "Piton Goreng" 17.5K. Overall the meal was not bad but not too good either. The soup taste exactly like "soto bening", only the meat was different (taste like chicken but have more fibre and a lot of bones like fish). btw they didn't served tea/coffee for drink since its advised not to have coffee/tea after drink "empedu ular". :)

Kalo dari segi rasa, makanan di tempat ini biasa banget. Kayanya lebih banyak orang yang dateng ke sana untuk minum darah ular/beli minyak/jamu macem2.

temanmakan.com pernah nyobain yang "Istana Raja Cobra" di jl. Tendean. Makannya ular piton goreng, sate kalong & sop biawak. Ular gorengnya seperti ayam goreng rasanya. Tapi dari 3 menu yg kita cobain, paling enak sate kalong. Review lengkapnya ada di "Makan unik" http://www.temanmakan.com
