No Comments

One of the place that I used to travel 3 times a year is Jakarta. One of the country that I have many friends that can bring me for nice food. As for this would be my first posting upon arrival at Jakarta as we took KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as the fare is just only RM30 diff from Air Asia yet in KLM they arrange me for emergency exit space which is for the first time of my life took that space for return ticket. They provide superb customer service too . . Cafe Dermaga

Well, my air flight return just cost me RM 360 for economy class which I would say its a bargain. For this round heading to Jakarta for one of my best friend wedding also to see all my friends there. Trip is pretty tight in schedule and upon arrival, Lina came pick us up. . 🙂

Then I told her I want spicy noodle that last time my friend used to bring me too. It was 5 years ago since I last went there and also the small little warung had turn into a cafe now. Cafe Dermaga is located in one of the prime location called Pantai Mutiara, which is a housing area that alot of super rich Indonesians are staying. Why I said that, you will see in the next few pictures.

this is the signature dish that most of the people would come here for, a spicy noodle that you can choose the level of spiciness to be added on from Level 1 – 5 if I am not mistaken. We try not to be too hero as I know the spiciness in Indonesia is far more than the arverage Malaysians can take. So we opted for LVL 3. .

If you think you can eat very spicy, then go for level 5 . . and Iwish you luck that your lipes doesnt turn into German Sausage. 😀

In simple, I would say it as Indonesian Wan Tan Mee, as it filled with chicken slices, and the noodle is definately springy as my friend told me that they made in house. After mix with the chili, it really makes you scratch your head then sweat will flow out after a few bites. My friend she cant really take the spiciness and end up we finish half. I still find that last time it used to taste much better. . Well, if you are heading to Jakarta for the first time, this is a shop with trying for their Bakmi Sakaw

Then Lina order Gelato which is made in house or consider a local brand themself. The ice cream is smooth and chocolate have the richest flavor of all.

This is what I mean why Pantai Mutiara house some of the richest Indonesians is because behind their house, there are a dockyard and not to exaggerat, some of the house have 4-5 boats. SIAU EHH!!!! and you can see some of the most unique house design over here. Its definitely a eye opener for my friend.

Bandung Food Hunt –> Surabi Imut –> Siagian, Pork Warung

No Comments

After our sightseeing from Tangkuban Perahu, which a place to visit inactive volcano at Bandung, then on the way back to Bandung Town, my friend introduce this stall which is one of her favourite eatery place that I said I want to eat Local delights only. Bandung Food Hunt

Surabi Imut known as one of their local delights that origins from the West Java. On that side, this little snacks are only available in 2 flavours, sweet surabi and Surabi Oncom. Then the owner had modernise the taste of it and now in this outlet, around 27 flavours are available.

The process of making it is using small claypot to cook along and burn under hot charcoal.

These are the four flavours we orderd.

Chocolate Cheese and Milk @ RP 6000

Milk and Cheese @ RP 5500

Sausage, Chicken Special with Cheese

Banana Chocolate Milk @ RP 5000

Overall taste of it, it taste something similiar like my favourite Apom Manis in thicker version, with a bit salty base baked till brownish on the outer layer then add in your favourite toppings. The star among those 4 are the chocolate milk cheese. That taste super good!

Next destination of eating, we were brought to a very hidden area, that have to walk through this small alley to reach the little warong. If you love pork, then this is one of the place you must visit that has no menu, only served 1 kind of food.

It is better to be seated outside here with the mini bar counter style its because inside is too smokey already with its poor ventilation when they are bbq’ing the pork!

My friend told me that, it used to be a very run down place, and they old area caught fire, then now they have renovated it a bit to more modern warung style. It is packed with alot of people during lunch time.

In the set,you will be giving their sour soup, special blend green spicy chili to sqeeze along with a lime. and the unique dressing for the pork is this thickend pig blood.

Here comes our porky for the day. Deep fried till the outer layer is cripsy with their own homemade spices ingredient, pork meat is soft and with even fats in between then my friend doesnt like the pig blood, so did not pour it in ..  The difference is that when add in pork blood, the meat is more moist n juicy n taste better.

One of the food that must hunt if you visit Bandung, and of course this is not a commercial eatery place, which is only known by the locals or neighbourhood, reason is this shop doesnt have a name and its hidden back behind alot of houses..

What I can say is, this is the location view that I shoot at which is in front of STT Telkom Didapati Ukur/ Telcom Indonesia building main entrance (if not mistaken), and my friend told me the name of the shop is Siagian.
