TOUR
"Apparently, people who do have a hobby Solo keplek physical defect (gambling tongue) still holds enough culinary secrets, old or new."
The first address that I visit is a shop that is located not far from the airport Adisumarmo.Exactly on the Road Colomadu, Kartasura. Hengky cautioned me: "Make no mistake, huh? The original is an old shop that is closer to the green-painted red and green lights."Luckily I've got a warning like that. You see, just two houses from the shop in question, there is one restaurant that looks more presentable with a similar name. Both use the name Semar. However, the original using the name Restaurant Mbah Semar. Apparently, the restaurant that also uses the name was just riding the fame Semar Mbah Semar. There is absolutely no family connection.On the House Eat Mbah Semar, the atmosphere is indeed showing the past with thick.There are two large boards with a menu listing djadoel. Just imagine, food and beverage model of what is referred to as: Suryo Ndadari, Free Rice, Mr. Lae, Cap Jae, Misowa, Soklat Milk, Sherbet Wedang, Setrup Ice, Ice Brush? He-he-he ....If you see there is a large clock Junghans branded antique model at the diner, must have been in the past Mbah Semar is a pretty prestigious place. Now, Mbah Semar Restaurant no longer serves a variety of dishes like the past. However, the popular dish in the place-from the past until now-is sternly tamarind. Dish of "death" is what seems to be the reason why Mbah Semar still survive today. In fact, imitate others.As a fan of tamarind fierce, I certainly will not miss dish Mbah Semar. Outward appearances very similar to my favorite Holy tamarind fierce. Large package of banana leaves steamed for hours to her chicken soft on the inside. Of course, the chicken must be free-range chicken. The main seasoning is similar: cayenne pepper, green tomatoes, Blimbing wuluh. The difference: in Mbah Semar rawitnya chili is not too much so that the level kepedasannya quite polite. The main differentiator that makes ferocious tamarind Mbah Semar special is chicken eggs.Chicken egg broken into a banana leaf parcel, and then steamed. The result? Egg white mixed with a little broth to make gravy thick, while the egg yolk clot itself. Gurih buanget!Another mainstay dishes are always looking for customers Mbah Semar is Kopyor Pis.This is a hawker who has been increasingly scarce. Made from a slice of bread, a few pieces of banana, and coconut shavings, wrapped in banana leaf packets with a little coconut milk and sugar, then steamed. A bit like bongko banana in Java or barongko in Makassar.Duh, this dessert is made termimpi djadoel-dream. No wonder if many guests from Jakarta carrying desperate and ferocious Kopyor paisa package tamarind home on the plane. You see, the typical dish of this sauce spill risk from banana leaf parcel.On the Road Slamet RiyadiThe second address from which I visited was Hengky Special Public Fish Grill 310 in Jalan Slamet Riyadi. Actually, less appropriately called stall, considering places to eat are located in a large house in the main streets of Solo.The owner, Soeroto Jarmanto, straight up to me to explain what is available fish that night.A waiter brought a tray with some fresh fish to be served. There are snapper, grouper, and pompano."Excuse me, the choice was not a lot tonight. If willing to come back tomorrow night, we will be able to present the mahi-mahi, kaneke, and others," said Soeroto.Mahi-mahi? This is the type of fish popular and quite expensive in Hawaii. In South Sulawesi, fish species are also encountered at sea with a local name lemadang. South Sulawesi community does not like these fish because they regard it as a fishing itch. As well as tuna and mackerel, lemadang does contain a natural histamine. Consequently, if fish is not immediately cooled with ice, histaminnya will appear and cause itching.Soeroto did have a good knowledge about various types of fish. Previously he worked as a manager in a multinational company. After retirement, he channeled his love for the culinary seafood by opening a "shop" at her parents' home. Fresh fish purchased in Bali through an acquaintance, and then shipped in ice chests to Solo with a night bus. Each day, Public Special Fish Grill 310 always presents a variety of sea fish with a good level of freshness.In Solo, in addition to tent stalls serving seafood dishes typical Lamongan, there are two popular seafood stalls, namely: Sir and Ma'am Petruk March Mr. Petruk better known as the Muslim Teochews and crab dishes. While Ma'am March is known for its fried-fish fish both sea and land fish. There is another new King Crab is even already gaining in popularity. "Public" was clearly different from Mas Soeroto Pak Petruk, Ma'am Mar, or King Crab.First, the quality and different types of fish. Second, the way of cooking and presentation are very different. Third, of course, a different ambience. If the others can be categorized as a fun seafood restaurant, Mas Soeroto have included serious seafood restaurant.Serious in terms of quality of presentation, though the place remain relaxed. Quality, not quantity!Because only eat alone, I chose a small baramundi and handed way to Mas Soeroto cook.Which is then presented really does not disappoint. Combustion quality similar to the way Makassar-crispy outside without burning. Thick creamy sauce. There is a little spicy, but not from the chilli, but from the ginger. Savory seasonings need thumbs. This dish can be accepted as children and strangers who are less familiar with spicy cuisine.Thumbs upCulinary note this time I want to desist with the thumbs up to the people who managed to revive Solo dish past. If a few years ago cabuk rambak had disappeared from the culinary map of Solo, now this simple food started popping up in various places. Cabuk rambak enormous diamond which is thinly sliced, then sprinkled with sesame sauce, served with gendar (rice crackers) or rambak (skin crackers). Not only around the lamp-joJalan Ketandan bang, but also included in various restaurant menus. In fact, at some event in Solo, hut cabuk rambak seem present.Unfortunately, scallions, tamarind leaves boiled sweet potato brown sugar sauce washed down with a side dish gembus tempe-still in a position endangered. Of the two traditional sellers in Jalan Gatot Subroto, is now living a sell.Fortunately, overlapping and pecel pecel chili-sesame sauce served with choice of brown rice, now even more and more popping up in various places. Around Gelora Manahan, quite a lot of food vendors this gandem-complacent. Success Pecel Solo Tempo Waroeng Doeloe featuring traditional cuisine seems to be greeted warmly by the Solo and the tourists.Apparently, people who do have a hobby Solo keplek physical defect (gambling tongue) still holds enough culinary secrets, old or new.
