Ama Taiwan Resto

Ramenyaaa.. padahal aku datang jam setengah 2 lho.
Sudah lewat jam makan siang.

Tempatnya nggak terlalu besar,
Antar meja juga diberi sekat2.

Saya pesan nasi ayam, adikku pesan mie sapi, menurutku harganya sangat worth it.
Nasi ayam 14.500 porsi nya cukup mengenyangkan lho, mie sapi 43.000, tapi mie sapi nya enak dan kuahnya kayak ada obat2 Cina nya.

Minumannya jug enak, seger banget.
Jual versi frozen2 juga, worth it untuk dicoba terutama yang rumahnya daerah Surabaya barat.

Warning, non halal.

Pertama kali tau kedai ini dari temen.
Dibilang murah. Aku ragu. Takut ga enak.
Ternyata 😍
Enakkk.... meski harga cuma 10rb.an rata2, tapi rasanya ga main2 😁

Single photo post for today, simply because there are lotsa things happening on that day and my phone finally gave up and went to bed earlier (in simple words: died due to no battery). 

AMA Taiwanese resto, is a humble food depot/small resto located inside the complex of Loop Graha Famili. Serving light taiwanese cuisine since I knew it, perhaps circa 2015? @chrisongkoo knows it better since he introduced me to this place. Price and portion size is alright, and you can sense the pork in your dishes. 

We ordered Mie Lu Rok (noodle topped with minced pork - a Taiwanese staple), chicken karaage, Taiwanese Pork Sausage, and a serve of veggie (steamed chinese cabbage with a dollop of minced braised pork). 

I can't say this is a cheap meal, but I can defo say this is a decent meal for its price. The taste reminds me of Cho Dumpling, a taiwanese restaurant in Sydney, Aussie, with their signature taiwanese fried chicken pieces and side dishes. Maybe I'll drop by to give them a visit later when the border reopens. 

Springy noodle with sweet and savoury, slightly creamy minced pork topping. Crunchy yet pleasantly soft chinese cabbage, firm, juicy and chunky taiwanese pork sausage, and crunchy karaage. What a combo of texture and flavour, creating a burst of flavour in your mouth. AFAIK, this is the only Taiwanese restaurant in Western Surabaya. Give this place a visit if you wanna try an authentic taiwanese taste. 

PS: some of the menu items description and writings on their posters are not even grammatically correct (Indonesian), making it clear that the owner is a Taiwanese.

🍵 Milk Tea - IDR10,000
Tbh ini ga sesuai ekspektasi karena keenceran dan ga manis samsek. Mungkin aku yg expect too high karena harusnya Taiwan terkenal dengan milk teanya yg enak dong(?)

🍜 Pangsit Udang Mie - IDR25,000
Mienya kenyel, pangsitnya juicy dan sedep. Fyi mienya handmade yaa. Dengan harga segitu worth getting banget sih.

🍜 Mie Sapi - IDR36,000
Menu termahal disini aja cuma 36k loh, dan ini super enak! Kuahnya comforting banget, kerasa kaldu beefnya. Potongan dagingnya ga pelit, empuk pula.

Verdict:
(+) Harga super affordable untuk standard Surabaya barat
(+) Rasa authentic, not surprised karena ownernya Taiwanese asli

(-) Tempatnya rame banget di jam makan siang dan malem, bahkan bisa ngantri2 sampe ke depan pintu masuk
