Food Reviewing…Enjoying cuisine, enjoying friendship

Nasi Langgi

Yesterday we have had a good lunch, some Indonesian foods had become our preference.

Friends of mine, a couple of husband-Hans and wife-Lina, are the owner of Javanese and Balinese cuisine specialties. There are plenty of Indonesian cuisine restaurants around the area of our living quarters who offers delicious menus, and this friends’ resto is one of them.

Located in neighborhood housing complex, Gading Serpong, they open for dining-in, taking-away and the most I guess, accepting delivery-orders. They deliver meal boxes and Nasi Tumpeng Lengkap (completed cone rice) for ceremonial events, family, community and corporate gatherings, and any other kinds of event. I have few times ordered their Nasi Tumpeng Lengkap and meal boxes. The nasi tumpeng is amply with various appendage side dishes, and they are all so tasty.

For me and my family, the taste of each menu is toothsome, the look is tempting, that’s the reasons of why we are visiting this resto quite often, besides as the location is not too far to our home.

Talk a little about the background of how I know this couple; Lina has been my long time friend since we were in kindergarten, while Hans, being friends since we were in high school. I know them as an ordinary couple, educated and religious in a humble manner. The fun side is, Lina is an active and talkative woman, while Hans is a quiet but ready-to-assist person. We have once never met each other for a long period, but then by chance we have chosen the same residential area, so the precious friendship is pleasantly reconnected. We had a lot to talks every time we meet –of which not too often-, but just the fun and good things, about our family and friends. I think Lina and I have one similarity in viewing the life, that is enjoying whatever we have with gratitude, in the way we are.

Here are some appetizing choices available in their resto:

Nasi Pecel Komplit

Includes: rice, boiled vegetables, spicy peanut sauce, peanut cracker, shredded sweet spiced fried beef, sliced cucumber, kemangi leaves, chili paste

Nasi Pecel Komplit

Nasi Gudeg Telur

Includes: rice, sayur nangka gudeg, spiced boiled egg (telur bacem), fried tofu cooked in coconut sauce (opor tahu), calfskin cracker in spicy coconut sauce (kerecek), sliced cucumber, chili paste

Nasi Langgi

Includes: rice, savory beef, chili fried beef liver, sweet sauted tempe, thinly sliced omelette, sweet potato chips, grated coconut, sliced cucumber, kemangi leaves, chili paste

Nasi Kuning

Includes: yellow rice (yellow color is derived from turmeric), Javanese style fried chicken, red chili potato cubes , thinly sliced omelette, sliced cucumber, kemangi leaves, chili paste
