Jambo Kupi

Dari dulu gw emang suka sama Jambo Kupi karena salahsatu resto aceh deket rumah yg mie tumisnya enak! Kemarin diundang gathering disini lagi gak nolak, walau jauh di Kalimalang. Tempatnya lebih kecil daripada yg di Pasming yg udah expand 2 lantai, tapi tetep ada ruang ac-nya. 

Kemarin kita nyobain : 
- Mie aceh udang: pas nyobain sayang mie acehnya udah dingin, tapi tetep enak karena bumbu karinya nyerep banget di mienya. Udangnya pun banyak. 
- Timpan: ini kue yg selalu disajikan sebelum makanan datang, berupa kue ketan lembut yg isinya kacang ijo + pisang. Enak bangett! 
- Nasi guri: ada 3 jenis lauk yg beda: cakalang, ayam tangkap, dan dendeng. Karena pernah ke Aceh, penasaran banget sama ayam tangkapnya, sayang ayamnya terlalu kering & potongan daun jeruk + daun pandannya kurang banyak n kurang kecil, jadi kurang nyerep lama ke ayamnya. Ayamnya si enak, cakalangnya pun, kalo dendengnya agak manis. Nasi gurinya sendiri mirip nasi uduk tapi lebih berbumbu gurih & bulir nasinya lebih besar2. 

Gw juga minum teh tarik + es timun khas Aceh yg rasanya miripp enaknya sama di outlet Pasming. Masih ada lontong cap gomeh, cane kari kambing, dan cane susu keju meses yg ga sempet nyobain karena udah kenyang. Karena gada mie godog,kayaknya bakal kesini lagi demi mie godognya nih! 

Back from holiday hiatus😅 Another food tasting event early february, I got the chance to explore Aceh culinary that I haven't tasted before!

Food and beverages: 3/5
We had aceh noodle (seafood and meat), nasi gurih (with different toppings), timpan, es teh tarik, canai bread (curry and another one topped with chocolate sprinkles and cheese). I'm not a huge fan of Aceh food but somehow I like these dishes. Aceh noodle was rich in flavor, nasi gurih had that savory taste that I love, timpan was my fave! Sweets for dessert, es teh tarik was great also, canai was okay but I like the curry since it had rich flavors.

Pricing: 4/5
Not expensive, worth the price.

Ambience: 3/5
Located in Kalimalang road, this place is relatively easy to find. Positioned at a junction, Jambo Kupi has a red signeage that makes it easier to locate. Has minimum decorations but you can see the cook making the tea tarik which can be entertaining. Not as hygienic since it's an open space.

Service: 4/5
The manager knows the dish well, can elaborate on it, and successfully answered all questions.

Highlight: Timpan, thai tea or es teh tarik is sooo good!
