Foods that make everyone fat, but we're hooray for that
I was a little bit startled when the Mbok Ndoro claimed to have chef. It also offers full-course meal (appetizer, main course, dessert), besides its buffet menu. It is as if Mbok Ndoro attempts to convey "you can eat warteg foods fancily". Whether the message is delivered or not, we are about to find out.
Kicking off is Telur Dadar Si Mbok, the best-seller appetizer in Mbok Ndoro. Yes, you heard it right, an appetizer.
Remember the time when you beat egg too enthusiasticly and deep-fry it on high temperature oil? The fried egg will separate on wok, and it becomes thin and curly. That's actually what this food look like, and how this food is cook.
It looks like a failed food, but given the fact that it is one of the best seller foods in Mbok Ndoro, it is really astonishing. I expected it to be greasy and ultra-salty but it turned out otherwise. This is a typical snack everyone orders online for bedtime snacking, light but fulfilling.
Next is a greasy plate consisted of a fried chicken, fried glass noodles, crackers, a bowl of rice with sprinkle of fried shallots on top, and the signature oseng mercon. Much about the side dishes are okay, but oseng mercon definitely shines the most.
Mbok Ndoro's oseng mercon is made of a generous amount of diced chicken, flavored with a powerful sambal. The sambal doesn't work for everyone for it is really spicy and greasy. But for spicy food addict, this food is definitely for you.
It has a subtle salty taste, but in a good way. Then my tongue feels sweetness and spiciness simultaneously as it is chewed more. It leaves a dry aftertaste to my throat. So many senses are awakening for eating one side dish only.
The meat is thick and juicy. Perhaps it is the only acceptable part for everyone.
