It's the best thing in the world, don't you agree? Last Monday me and my friends wen't to have some Girls Night Out and did a culinary tour around Mangga Besar.
Mangga Besar is a very popular Red Light District in Jakarta, that place is always so packed with people! Because not only there are a lot of "Night Entertainments" but also a lot of great foods! In this video, i'm taking you to 2 of my favourite restaurants to get munchies!
Our first stop is Cong Sim Noodle Restaurant!
It's a small restaurant that sells various food, not only noodle, but the most favourite menu is the noodle
Their noodle has a unique texture, it's thin but tough, but not in the bad way, rather in a crispy-crunchy-ish way? Gosh, I'm still bad on describing stuff hahaha~
The noodle came with a lot of toppings, some red pork, chicken, fried shallots, leeks, veggies and the best thing human ever invented : FRIED PORK FAT. Now, a lot of Chinese LOVES to eat fried pork fat, it has a strong flavour and a very mouth watering scent, that goes well on savoury dishes, however, some find it too strong, and for some people who have never tried it, they might not like it at the start, but most of those people will come to like it in the eventually, Chinese dishes uses a lot of pork fat as their natural MSG, because it juicily enhance the flavour of the dishes :D
This noodle is not the exception, the addition of the pork fat to the noodle really enhance the flavour tremendously, the broth is has a mild flavour to compliments the noodle, and you can add pickled chilies which is an amazing pair with the noodle.
Our next stop, is this Suikiaw Restaurant called Super Suikiaw, also my favourite :9
They have other menus except Suikiaw, but I will focus on the Suikiaws this time :D
We ordered a mixed plate with pork and seafood filling
Very mouthwatering! The juices which came out from the pork and chicory is incredible, totally reccomended! The seafood one has some chives, prawns and squid, it's also delicious, but my all time favourite is still the pork one!
