Gerobak Betawi

there's this new betawi restaurant near my house (located in Taman Ratu area, in front of Siaw A Tjiap).. the place seems quite cozy with dominant wooden furniture.. the place is not too big.. you can choose between smoking and non-smoking area.. of course, we chose the non smoking area.. the restaurant serves Indonesia food, with specialties including mie goreng nyemek, bubur ayam and rawon.. well, for a quick lunch with bf, we tried the mie goreng nyemek (Rp17k), tahu telor (Rp15k) and tumis kangkung (Rp7.5k)..

I love the mie goreng nyemek.. it's actually fried noodle but served with a little think sauce.. that's why it's called nyemek, which means a little wet in Javanese.. the noodle is cooked in Javanese style with a hint of sweetness.. basically, I'm a noodle fans, so of course I'm loving that dish :)

next, we had tahu telor which was chopped tofu fried with egg added with vegetables and red sauce.. the tahu telor I have known has a thick brown sauce made from petis udang.. however, this one is kinda different.. the sauce is very light and a little spicy.. I think it's similar to asinan bogor's sauce.. a new and unique taste for me and I enjoy every bite I had..

last, we had tumis kangkung.. and a bit disappointing since I don't like.. dunno why.. it is edible, but I don't think I will order that again if I came back.. it's a little tasteless and the portion is adequate for only one person (it's only Rp7.5k anyway).. 

so, will I come back? I think I will.. they have a lot of different Indonesia traditional menu that are waiting to be tasted.. I will try the chicken porridge next time :D
