Let's have dinner with me. Our menu for this evening is Sate Padang, a specialities from Sumatra Barat. Sate padang is easily recognized just from its appearance. Its used thick brown gravy as sauce instead of peanut sauce like in sate madura, and its definitely have small beef cut not like sate in manado. When you buy sate padang, you can ask whether you want all beef (no fat) sate or mixed (with fat) sate. Immediately grilled when you order, serve hot with ketupat and its delicious unique gravy, with fried shallots sprinkles on top. Selamat makan 😄

If you ever buy nasi pecel or lontong pecel, you will recognize that peyek is one of the main components in those menu. The steamed vegetables, pecel sauce, warm steamed rice and peyek is complemented each other perfectly. [ 229 more words ]

Another yummy junk food from Bandung. This is Cireng acronym from Aci Digoreng, aci is tapioca starch and digoreng means fried, so cireng basically just deep fried tapioca. Off courses they put some garlic, salt and pepper for flavor and it's yummy 😋 When you have nothing to do or just stuck at home like now, cireng is one good companion. [ 34 more words ]

One of my grandma neighbors is an excellent "Jajan Pasar" maker, one of her signature is pukis. They sell it from house to house, and I remember when I was a kid, I usually come to her home and straight to the kitchen and watch her make pukis from scratch. The aroma oh so amazing. And after sometime I often get kicked out because I already eat too much pukis for a day hahaha. [ 44 more words ]

This is surabaya legendary cuisine, always been here since the beginning. Lontong balap is a very simple dish, the main ingredient just bean sprouts and lontong. Bean sprouts cooked in a big pot we called kuali with a lot of water and used basic spices like garlic, shallot, and scallions, just like how you made a vegetable soup. Serve it in a plate with all other gangs like lontong (there would be no lontong balap with lontong), fried tofu, lentho, sambal petis on the side, a dash of soy sauce, sprinkle with fried shallots and krupuk for more yummines.
