My Favorite Padangnese Rice
Hello, friends especially foodies!
When you come to my country, Indonesia, don’t skip this kind of food that we have or you’ll regret, we called it Nasi Padang (Padangnese rice). This padangnese rice means we eat padangnese dishes with rice. Padangnese rice can be found in any Padangnese restaurant, but one of my favorite is in this place. So one day recently we specially went there to Kota Tua area, to have my favorite Padangnese rice.
We arrived there at 12.10 pm, great time to have lunch. And I was starving at that moment. The restaurant looked large from the outside and it is located next to the dessert stall.
Inside they had a large dining area with wooden furnish. Looked natural but it also had air conditioners. Clean and neat it was a nice place to dine in.
When we came there, a waitress took us to our table then she said that she would serve kind of meat and vegetables that they had and she asked for our drink order... She also asked me if i wanted their cow's skin chip poured with their tasty gulai soup. Well of course my answer was yes and here was how it look.
Well of course they had lots kind of padangnese dishes we could choose like written on their menu. But i prefer to choose it directly when i see it at our table of course...
So we just pick beverages from the menu book.
And then as she said to deliver most of their dishes, so there they were.. These were the meat and veggie dishes that they had. No need to worry about the cleanliness because all of them had plastic wrap on the top so they were hygienic. Well not all of the dishes i could recognize that day but i could mention some of their names. They were potato liver balado chili paste, balado egg, cow lungs, perkedel (potato fritter), chicken gulai, jackfruit, mashed sweet potato leaves, pineapple chicken, cow pebbles, chopped beef, cassava leaves, beef rendang, et cetera..
Last they also served laced fried egg. The fried egg with crunchy crispy side.
These were what we had that day
The first plate we had consisted of rice with crispy cow's skin chip, potato liver balado chili paste, chicken gulai, and mashed sweet potato leaves.
The second plate we had consisted of beef rendang and laced fried egg.
Now let me tell you each of their taste:
- crispy cow's skin chip: it had crispy and crunchy texture with savory flavour and it poured with gulai soup that made it a bit less crunchy and brought tasty savory flavour to it too. It totally made us crave for more.
- potato liver balado chili paste: it had savory and a bit spicy flavour with soft texture. Both of us liked it.
- chicken gulai: their chicken had soft texture. It cooked with coconut milk so it had tasty savory flavour, beyond comparable. So yummy!
- mashed sweet potato leaves: it also cooked with coconut milk but with different spices so it had different color with the gulai. The taste it was savory too and it also tasty.
- beef rendang: their beef had soft texture, easily to cut and bite. it had savory and sweet flavour. It was also tasty.
- laced fried egg: it had light savory flavour and it looked cute with the lace but for the flavour it was just so so.
Well, beside perfect tasty padangnese dishes they also had this favorite drink named Turmeric Lemon Honey.
Like the name, it made of turmeric, lemon and honey as its' ingredients. It had sweet sour fresh flavour. It also served chilled so it was totally fresh and tasty.
Overall their padangnese rice is never failed and i also loved their special drink too, so i think all of you must try them.
