Nov 30 |Warung Soto Pak Gendut
Last week, we tried Soto Ceker at Sabang street. Sabang is well known for its hawker food vendors, and one of them is Warung Soto Pak Gendut, which was packed with customers during dinner time. Besides soto ceker, they sell various kinds of East Java soto such as : soto ayam, soto ranjau ceker, soto kikil, soto madura and soto babat. but soto ceker looks to be the favourite menu there. Overall, the meal was delicious, the soup was very rich and tasty and the chicken feet were quite plump that we felt very full from just having a bowl of soto ceker with rice. However, considering the richness of the soup, I'm not really sure how much MSG they put in it.

Apr 23 |Bakmi Bangka 39
Craved for "Mie lebar ala Bangka", Last Friday I decided to walk to my favorite "Bakmi Bangka" located at the back of Wisma GKBI. Usually this place was so crowded at lunch time we have to wait to get a seat, but today we can managed to find a seat quite easily. so I ordered : "Mie Lebar Pangsit" 7K and a bottle of fresh tea. Besides Mie Lebar, they also served : mie/kwetiaw/bihun ayam with pangsit or baso or both (price range from 7K- 9K), tahu kok, pangsit kuah, baso kuah @7K. The noodle came with a separate bowl of soup filled with chicken wonton. The noodle was topped with green vegetable, bean sprout plus a generous portion of minced chicken meat. And I was glad to find that it was still as delicious as I remember :)

Apr 20 |Kui Sen
This is my favorite place for "sop kambing" (SC took me here on our 1st D), located on Hayam Wuruk street (near Mercure Hotel). they served only two type of meal : oxtail soup & mutton soup. 1 portion of the mutton soup cost us about 28K + steamed rice 4K, but I think it worth every penny. It is a Chinese style of Mutton clear soup with vegetables without any traces of "prengus" smell. According to me it is simply warm & delicious 'honest food' (SC prefer the one at nasgor kebon sirih).

Apr 11 |Nasi Uduk Bang Udin
This place located next to the famous "Bubur Ayam Bang Tatang" and also always full of guest at dinner time, so one day we decided to try it. This place served quite authentic Betawi cuisine, like the one Bang Udin offer : nasi uduk in Betawi style, complete with Semur Jengkol, empal gepuk, semur telur, etc. and topped with melinjo crackers. In my oppinion, the meal was simply delicious, even the" semur jengkol" was not bad, we even asked for another plate of nasi uduk :)

Apr 2 |Nasi Goreng Kebon Sirih
Last week we tried the famous "nasi goreng kebon sirih" located at kebon sirih road, besides nasi goreng kambing, they also served : sop kambing, sate ayam/kambing etc. Their speciality is in their fried rice : cooked in a very large pan using samin oil and if i'm not mistaken : some indian curry & spices. the mutton was cooked separately then added to the pan. served with fried shallot and melinjo crackers, you can also asked for a plate of acar if you want. The dish cost us about 16K for 1 plate of nasi goreng kambing & 10K for sop kambing. While I think this nasi goreng is delicious but a bit pricey & overated :P SC love their "Sop Kambing" which taste & smell so "kambing" to him :)

Mar 27 |Bubur Ayam Bang Tatang
Last week SC was craving for "bubur ayam ala abang-abang", so I took him to one of my favorite "bubur ayam kaki lima" called "bubur ayam bang tatang". This is a very famous Indonesian style chicken porridge, opened every afternoon, the place it self was not very representative but it always full of customer gathered around Bang Tatang waiting for him to serve the meal (he can make more than 10 bowl of porridge in one batch). The specialty of this porridge is in its topping, it was full of a very generous chicken slices, I think the chicken is much more that the porridge :)

Mar 21 |Sate Afrika
I've been longing to visit this place since last year but never had a chance till now. Located in the area between "Indonesia Power" building & "Museum Tekstil", this place served Malinese Cuisine known better as "Sate Afrika". We arrived around 11PM and ordered 2 portion of lamb meat & 1 portion of "jerohan" and "pisang goreng tanduk". We watched them prepared the meat : grilled, and then cut into pieces, put into a pan and mixed with spices & cooked again until the meat is soft and tender. served in an aluminium plate topped with sliced onion, Overall the meat was delicious, not oily at all, not smelly (ngga bau prengus), make a perfect combination with the fried banana and their special chili sauce (a combination of sambal lampung, mustard and sweet soya sauce), but a bit too tasty :)

Nov 8 |Nasi Kapau Uni Upik
While still at 'cafe pisa', I mentioned that I want to visit Kramat Raya to try the famous 'nasi kapau', I said "Don't you galls want to buy something for sahur tomorrow?", they seem interested with the idea of having 'Lemang' for sahur. so we headed to Senen, it was located at the hook of Kramat Raya Street, there were several food stalls opened in the evening until dawn (I guess) serving Nasi Kapau (almost similar to nasi padang, but it came from a small village called Kapau in west sumatra with have slightly different styles of cooking, their specialty here were bebek cabe ijo & rendang bebek hitam ). when we arrived the place was very crowded with diners, we choose the most crowded one (Nasi Kapau Uni Upik), when my friends buying Lemang & other meal for sahur preparation, I start drooling again when I saw the selection of food there and can't help my self to order one portion of Nasi Kapau with "bebek sambal lado ijo" 18K, it was delicious especially when you eat eat using your hand :)

Aug 2 |Bakmi Kumango
After we read from Ice's comment here that there's one "Bakmi Kumango" opened in Jakarta, me and SC start on a search to greenville, the first time we went on the afternoon and couldn't found it, later we found out that the place was close at night. So we came again on weekend for lunch and this time we found it. So we ordered 2 portion of "Bakmi Kumago". it was OK, but I think it tasted not quite the same with the one I had in Medan.

Jul 31 |Ayam Bakar Taliwang
Last week we found this small & delicious 'kaki lima' cafe near "RM. Nasi Gandul" Pesanggrahan that served : "Ayam Bakar Taliwang" (Lombok/Sumbawa authentic cuisine) . So we (I) had dinner there and ordered : "ayam bakar taliwang" (grilled wild young chicken with Lombok's style chilli sauce) with a portion of "pelecing kangkung" (Cooked fresh water spinach (kangkung), mixed with a sauce made with chilli, fish paste/terasi, tomato salt and lime). both are very hot and spicy. So if you can't stand spicy food better not risk yourself to try it :) Besides "pelecing kangkung" and "ayam taliwang" they also served "beberok terong" (cooked eggplant with fresh chopped onion and chili sauce).

May 3 |Bebek Goreng Joko Putro
I always love to have duck for my meal as an alternative for chicken. Among my favorite there were "bihun bebek binjai" - pasar muara karang , peking duck - the duck king, Bebek Goreng Suryo. A couple of week ago with some friends I tried this one, located in kakilima, the banner outside said : "Joko Putro : Nasi Uduk, Bebek Goreng, Ayam Goreng, Pecel Ayam/Lele ..." so we ordered "Bebek Goreng" with a plate of "Nasi uduk". the service was quite fast & clean. the taste not bad, the meal came with lalapan & sambal terasi dadakan. Compared to other "bebek Goreng" from its class, but I think I like "Begor Suryo" better than this one.
