It was a bit of exhausting work day for us (well okay maybe it's just for me) so I needed a proper food, that can comfort me for a while. Off we went to PTC, to Depot Tip Top. For those of you who have no idea what Depot Tip Top is, they got famous for their Nasi Timbel a.k.a steamed rice wrapped in banana leaf, resulting in a pleasantly fragrant infused steamed rice. Go have one and you'll understand what I mean. That fragrant rice will then be served with a choice of meaty protein, fried tofu and tempeh, a dollop of Sambal, and a bowl of Sayur Asem/Tamarind Soup on the side.
When I was there, they were running a promotion, being a meal package for only IDR 28 Thousand, all in. Included a glass of iced tea. Choose your protein option (fried chicken/fried duck/fried beef(empal)), And wait for the whole plate to be delivered to you.
The rice has a great texture, to me. A sprinkle of crunchies made it even better. The fried beef/empal was well seasoned and fried to perfection, it still retains its juiciness. Fried tofu and tempeh, nice. A piece of fried-till-crispy salted fish actually made the meal better, added a little of saltiness which eventually balanced the overall flavour of the meal out. Don't forget to sip the soup's broth, to clean your tastebuds from that greasy oily feeling.
Bonus: that pic of a bag of fritters? That's modern day crispy fried tofu from @tahugaring.pakuwon , i got a bag of seasoned crispy tofu and a bag of Sambal-stuffed crispy tofu. Honestly? They taste so damn good, and the Sambal is not too hot. You can enjoy them on their own or enjoy them as a side dish.

Nasi timbel nya enak, lauk nya ada empal, tahu, tempe, ikan asin, dan sayur asem. Potongan empalnya cukup besar, cukup empuk, dan gurihnya pas. Tahu dan tempe nya juga enak. Sambel disini mantep banget, selalu minta ekstra sambel klo kesini karena 1 porsi selalu kurang. LOL. Tapi memang enak sih sambel disini. Sayur asem nya juga enak, asam nya pas, sayurnya juga cukup banyak. Mantap banget apalagi pas masih hangat.
Harga cukup worth dibandingkan rasanya.

Dapat kiriman meal box dan ternyata kesukaanku nasi timbel empal dari tip top.Karena baru kali ini makan yang versi boxnya ternyata nasinya banyak loh ga seperti porsi kalau makan dine in.Dan menurutku porsinya juga lebih banyak dari lauk dan sayur asemnya,mungkin beda harga kalau meal box,I guess.
