Review Pelanggan untuk Claypot Popo

There is nothing more satisfying than a bowl of piping hot claypot dish when you’re feeling under the weather. We’ve heard about Claypot Popo from one of our friends, and he recommended eating their food on a particularly bad day, saying that it would lift up our mood. 

The food we ordered, “Claypot Sapi Telur Mentah”, is essentially layers of rice, very thick broth, diced carrots, corn kernels, sliced beef, and raw egg yolk. We especially liked the sambal they serve this dish with.

While the dish looks pretty as is, the best way to eat it is to mix everything and gobble it down, one spoonful at a time. We would regard this dish as a comfort food, as it did wonders in bringing back our mood when we were not feeling well. Definitely a must try, especially for anyone seeking a hearty, warm, and fulfilling dish.

The decorations in Claypot Popo feels very quaint and homey; it feels like you’re eating in a traditional Indonesian Chinese house, with its narrow halls and high ceilings. They plastered the attic walls with dated consumer goods labels, giving the place a specific charm we can’t quite explain. 

Alongside our claypot dish, we also ordered “Locupan Ayam Asam Manis”, which is a locupan dish (chewy udon-like noodles) with a diced chicken topping drenched in a sweet and sour sauce. The cripsy bits they garnished the dish with is actually crispy tofu, which adds a quite pleasantly surprising texture to the dish.

If you haven’t tried a locupan dish before, we urge you to try getting your first bowl here. Although the dish is not brothy, this one is also a very hearty and comforting food.
