You and Mee

An Indonesia friend recommended this noodles house to us. She said this is quite close to the authentic Indonesian noodles. I had Mee Kang Kong ($5.9), minced pork with the house special sauce and kang kong. Very similar to chinese lor mee but taste a big different especially when you added their own chili. There is numbering on the chili and depends on what you eat, you choose different chili paste. Of course, you can go with the one you like. I went for the default combination and is really good. Must add chili sauce! !

Boko Sunset Resto

We visited Ratu Boko Temple mainly for its sunset and milk way. We were late when we reached the temple but still on time for us to catch the sunset.  If you spent whole day, it costs you IDR125K, as we were late and it was close to the closing time(they close at 6pm), we paid IDR90K with drink and snack. 

The food here consider standard, not too bad. There are selection of food for you to choose for those dine with the coupon. You can choose the fruit juice for drink; fried noodles or rice or banana desserts for the food. Picture below show the mango juice, tasted ok.

The fried noodles and rice tasted better than we thought off, Indonesian style or like our Malay style. The banana dessert tasted good too, however I was quite surprised of it not so generous portion, not filling at all and I think rice or noodles will be better choice.

We then added on for our ala-carte order as we decided to have our dinner here. Reason being we worried if we still had to travel so far to get back, we will be quite hungry and we may not have food to eat during that hour. Steak on hot plate - the steak consider failed to me as overcooked. The cordon blue chicken, tasted average. The stir fried mixed vegetables, quite similar to what chinese have but taste not the same, not too bad after all meaty stuff.

Pemuda Depot Ayam Goreng

1st day dinner when we were on the way to Ijen at Bondowoso village, I thought it is a village style but it looks to me like a small town. My netfriend said you will see the best milky way at this place. Lunch we had some spicy food so dinner the driver bring us for no spicy one. The famous dish here I guess should be fried chicken but we did not try it. We ordered the ala carte menu zhi char like dishes. It was quite Chinese style dishes but with different way of cooking. The dishes overall quite average and interesting to try out new stuff. I like the fried fish with unknown sauce, tasted pretty good.

Ayam Inggeris - I asked them what is this and how is the name from but my Bahasa Indonesia or Malay is too bad and it is quite hard to communicate. The message that I got from them is because the sauce. Tasted quite good with rice.

This chicken and duck I dun really appreciate it, it had a weird taste to me, probably because of the sauce combination. Apologize for the blur pictures.

Waroeng Kencur

2nd day lunch. On the way back to Surabaya,  we passed by Probolinggo and stopped for lunch. This was considered the most luxury meal I had at Surabaya. Everything tasted quite good, not too sure whether was it because we were hungry. I quite like the soup and their sambal chili.  All the meal come with delicious sambal chili. Some special cuisine like the bean type, I cannot appreciate much. 

We accidentally ordered the western meal as we did not understand the menu well. This steak tasted average. The soup looks very simple but tasted good.

The "drink" that we ordered, we thought it is some kind of fruit juice with 3 types of fruits. When it served, we only found that this is 3 types of fruits + water syrup. Some fruits not very fresh.

Warung Bu Kris

Our 1st meal on the way to Ijen, I was not sure where exactly we were as once got up to the van, the driver told us an hour drive to our lunch place. If you looked at the address, it is stated Denpasar Bali which I only noticed when I got back here else I should have asked the driver where we were. This is like a small coffee shop, food is relatively cheap for us if compare with Singapore. It seems have a lot of branches around Indonesia Island.

It is the penyet style and only then I know whatever end with penyet9in the menue), they will place one layer of sambal (chili paste) on the plate and the main dish on top. The food generally good and we all love the sambal very much.  The spare ribs was not a good choice as I mostly see only the bones and not really meat. Another I found is the drinks are all very sweet for us and when you order,  must always remember for less sweet.

The fish tasted quite good although it didn't seems so, the other stuff, I wasn't confirm what is that as although we know some Malay word but those items on menu, we were out of clue too.

This grilled fish with its sauce tasted very nice but a bit sweet for me. Add on more sambal which I feel it taste even better.

The ribs which I felt only bone, I thought this is beef as after a while I understand their "daging" is beef as Indonesia will not have pork.

BaliThai (Nex)

A farewell dinner at BaliThai@Nex for my Indonesian colleague. The food here generally nice but stir fried stuff might need more improvement.

Tom Yam and green curry are nice; the bakar combi(BBQ combination with chicken, satay, squid, prawn and fish) is great too. The otak seafood tasted special and good to go with rice. I had the coconut, the staff told me the coconut was not young as the meat is tough. I tried, juice was fine and yes the meat is quite hard to eat.
