Bihun Bebek A Eng

Kalau kita ditanya tentang lokasi bakmie ayam/babi yang enak, pasti deh langsung nyerocos sederet rekomendasi dari otak kita. Tapi kalau ditanya lokasi bihun bebek yang enak……nah….pasti sebagian besar dari kita akan mengernyitkan dahi lalu diakhiri dengan gelengan kepala dan jawaban “gak tau tuh” atau “belom pernah makan” atau “pernah denger sih teman makan itu, tapi gak tau tempatnya”, etc. Bener gak?

Emang kalau disuruh pilih antara bakmie atau bihun, saya pasti pilih mie. Lebih suka tekstur mie dibanding bihun. Tapi kalau digoreng, bihun itu rasanya endess juga kok, gak kalah sama mie. Lidah Asia sih sebenernya gak asing lagi dengan yang namanya bihun. Salah satu jenis mie yang terbuat dari beras ini lumayan popular, bisa digoreng, dikasih kuah atau disiram. Bihun Bebek ini merupakan hidangan khas Medan.

Tempatnya kecil, paling hanya bisa menampung 15-20 orang saja (cabang PIK). Selain bihun disini juga menyediakan bakmie. Tapi lucu dong ya masa jagoannya bihun trus kita pesannya mie? Untuk porsinya ada ukuran Reguler (IDR 35k) dan ukuran Large (IDR 60k). Satu mangkuk bihun rebus dengan topping irisan bebek rebus, plus lembaran daun selada dan taburan bawang putih cincang & daun ketumbar. Daging bebeknya empuk banget dan toppingnya banyak (apalagi yang porsi Large, bener-bener puas!). Kuahnya juga gurih, berasa banget kaldunya. Over all endeessssss!

Untuk side dishnya saya pilih Mix Lidah & Perut Babi (IDR 30k). Tekstur lidahnya empuk, ada sekitar 10 potong. Perut babinya juga enak, empuk. Yummy, pas banget dipadukan dengan aroma bawang putih yang kental.

Bebek Goreng HT Karang Empat

Bebek Goreng HT Karang Empat is a non air conditioner restaurant that can accommodate 50-60 persons on West Jakarta. It’s originated from Surabaya. It’s been famous since 1990.

As usually, I order their Bebek Goreng Super (super size fried duck). Price 19 K (original size: price 17 K). For steamed rice you have to add order, price 5 K (free refill). They provide Nasi Uduk (coconut milk steam rice) too. Price 7 K. I think their Super size fried duck is not real “Super” on its size. It’s quite small for me. But the duck meat is tender and savory. What I adore about this dish is their Signature Sambal. It’s very spicy! It will burn your mouth and make you sweat! They served it with Lalapan (raw veggies such as cucumber & kemangi leaves). Tasty!

I also order Paru Goreng (fried lung). Price 20 K. Thin slices fried lung came with shrimp paste chili. Yummy! Instead of eat with its sambal which not too spicy for me, I choose to eat with their Signature Sambal. I can’t find this kind of Sambal on other places.

If you don’t like duck, you can choose chicken (fried chicken, roasted chicken). They also served Iga Goreng (fried ribs), Buntut Goreng (fried oxtail), Gurame Goreng (fried carp fish), Nasi Goreng Bebek (fried rice with slices of duck meat), Empal Goreng (fried beef meat), Udang/Cumi Cobek (shrimp/squid with sambal), Tempeh/Tofu, Cah Kangkung (spicy stir fried watercress) & Sayur Asem (sour veggies soup).

Bebek Bengil

Although Bebek Bengil has already opened their branch at Jakarta, I still feel excited to enjoy their cuisine in their original place. Bengil in Bali’s language means Dirty. Maybe it took from the habit of duck that like to play in the mud puddle.

Bebek Bengil is one of the largest outdoor garden restaurants of the world. It is featuring lotus ponds, large elephant leaf plants, statues and a beautiful rice field view from all around.

They first opened in 1990 and had only 25 seats. They renovated the restaurant in 2001 increasing the number of seats to 350 and expanding on the beauty of the garden to make it more attractive to all guests.

The specialty dish in here is Bebek Bengil. Price 92 K. It’s half a duck steamed in Indonesian spices (such as garlic, ginger, coriander, galangal,kaempferia galangal), deep fried for a crispy finish. Served with sautéed potatoes and side salad or rice and Balinese vegetables. The duck skin is so crispy, but the meat inside is so tender and moist. So delicious! The potatoes is sautéed with parsley & pepper. Taste quite nice.

They also give us a bowl of salad with vinegar dressing. I like it because it’s more healthy than thousand island dressing (the common dressing you will find in other places). The fried dish is not perfect without good sambals. There are three kind of sambals that provided in this place. The first one is blended chili, the second is shredded of chili with vinegar & squeeze of lemon/lime and the last is the famous sambal matah. Sambal Matah is raw shallot and lemongrass sambal of Bali origin. It contains a lot of finely chopped shallots, chopped bird’s eye chili, terasi shrimp paste with a dash of lemon. It’s so yummy, suitable for my crispy duck.

They also served different version of duck dishes such as: Green Chili Grilled Duck, Grilled Duck with Sweet Chili Sauce, Duck served in a Tomato Sauce and Duck Breast with Wine Sauce. If you don’t like duck dish, you can choose Chicken dish (such as Red Chili Sauce Grilled Chicken, Crispy Chicken, Ayam Suwir Bali, Tender Lemon Chicken, Chicken Skewer, etc)

Bebek Tepi Sawah

Bali is the most exotic island in Indonesia. Their panorama, beaches, culture and of course their culinary always captivated my heart. I really longing for having vacation again in Bali. The crazy traffic jam & hectic working time at Jakarta sometimes make me so stress out. Periodically, I took time to get my relaxation time in a particular place. Bebek Tepi Sawah is one of that kind of place. Suddenly you were taken away from the urban city to the serenity ambience & traditionally Balinese mix w/ casual style design’s place. Located in the crowded mall doesn’t reduce their sensation.

With only 6-8 main menu option, they serve the best quality of Bali cuisine. You must try their Crispy Fried Duck. Price 90 K. With a half of crispy fried duck, steamed rice & string bean sautéed w/ coconut milk & chili and of course their fascinating 3 kind of sambal; that price is suitable with the taste. The meat is tender inside & crispy skin outside, yummy! I really adore their sambal (matah sambal, balachan sambal & slices cayenne chili sautéed w/ onion & shrimp paste).

 

For soup, they provide Sup Ikan Tampak Siring (Carp Fish Soup). Price 55 K. The soup made from water mix w/ green tomato, orange leaves, lemongrass & starfruit/belimbing wuluh). So refreshing! Delicious!

For veggies, they didn’t give us an option, there’s only one dish: Plecing Kangkung (watercress with balachan chili & fried peanuts). Price 17.5 K. This is the best Plecing Kangkung that I’ve ever taste. Fresh, tasty & healthy at the same time. Perfect match with my diet program right now ;)
