Indonesian Food Numero Uno!

On February 14 I’ve got an invitation by The Best Indonesia Restaurant that I’ve ever had, Ayam Goreng Aroma yeah that’s the name of this restaurant. Well technically my friend invited me to come because he got the invitation from them and ask to bring more guests. Located in Matraman, East Jakarta, near BCA building or if you have trouble to find it, this restaurant was next after dapur solo restaurant. 

First time I heard ‘bout this restaurant honestly I didn’t expected that much but wow it turned out that this restaurant was really awesome, not just I love their interior, the food but the owner Ms. Eva also very kindly, she even cooked it for us, I really wanna thanks for that. For the interior they have a minimalist concept, they wanna make the customers feel comfy, warm and feel like you’re eating in your own home.

Interior

Okay let’s talk about their food now. For the starter we ordered tahu (tofu) pletok (IDR 15k) it’s tahu aci goreng from tegal that served with ketchup sauce. The tahu pletok was originally made from tofu and sago, it tasty yum yum a good one to booze your appetite. 

Tahu Pletok

For the main course we ordered nasi goreng (fried rice) rawon  (IDR 35k) this was a unique dish because you know why? It’s because it was a combination between fried rice and rawon mixed into one dish. It consist salted egg, emping, kerupuk udang, sambal terasi (be careful with this one because this sauce was so spicy) and rawon. The rice has a fragrant aroma, and when you taste it, it was nice, the flavor was good. 

Nasi Goreng Rawon

Nasi royo royo (IDR 35) it consist fried chicken, golden squid rica rica, daun singkong ikan asin. This one was not savory but the chicken and the squid tasted good. My opinion is that they need to upgrade the flavor for this dish.

Nasi Royo-Royo, Nasi Goreng Rawon, Wedang Uwuh, Ayam Goreng Kremes (From Top, Left, Center, and Right)

Ayam goreng (fried chicken) kremes, ayam goreng kremes in this restaurant is different than the usual ayam goreng kremes because they fried the kremes together with the chicken so it will make the kremes wrapped the chicken. It was crunchy, savory and tasty.

Lontong sapi guling (IDR 35) it consist beef that served with lontong and ketchup sauce along with it. It tasted sweet and spicy, the meat was tender, and you gotta be careful with the rawit (chili) because there are a lot of them but it makes this dish so kickin!

Nasi liwet semarang (IDR 25k) it consist savory rice, opor ayam, tofu, telur (egg) pindang, sayur labu siam, and krecek (fat). Ms. Eva made this special dish to us and it tasted delicious, the rice has a fragrant aroma just like nasi goreng rawon, and the tofu was the champ! I love all the food presentation that they gave it to us.

For the dessert I ordered es aroma (IDR 20k) it consist coconut, nata de coco, kolang kaling, cincau hitam, selasih and it tasted sweet.

Oh wait I almost forgot that I also ordered wedang uwuh (IDR 10k)it consist salam, cengkeh, jahe, gula batu, kapulaga, kayu secang, honestly I never like wedang but this one tasted so natural, sweet and I suggested you to drink this one while it’s hot because if it’s not it will tasted a lil bit bitter. Wedang uwuh has advantages like it will make your skin softer, make the blood stream smooth, and increase your stamina
