Meatballs Trisno famous tastes great, almost every day meatball lovers from various circles and age always come and go. In Pondok Rajeg many places seller meatballs, but here is highly recommended in terms of taste, price and portion.
(Hi Elang and Jago.. my superb kids are me.. hehe)
Here's the menu and price list:
This time, I tried "Bakso Beranak" with the price of Rp. 22.000, -
"Bakso Beranak" is the largest meatballs sold here. Basic ingredients to make it the same as meatballs in general, made from real ground beef, spice meatball and flour. What distinguishes is the contents of "Bakso Beranak" consists of 5 pieces of quail eggs, 5 pieces of small size meatballs and then compacted with abundant tetelan meat. The outside was coated again with meatball dough is quite thick.
It Called "Bakso Beranak" because in it filled meatballs again, so described as pregnant women with a fetus in the stomach. It's really unique, one way to make consumers interested in buying it. With a different name, it will certainly make a lot of people curious to try it.
From the taste, I've tried it and it's so good. Season is very good, the seller is brave to give spices. Meatball tasted of beef, because it uses a lot of beef. When my meatball is cut, the meat field looks solid, fatty, really delicious. For the meatball lovers, I'm sure it will be like it.
Sauce from meatballs also tasted good. Bouillon seems to be made from the feet of cows and meat tetelan, chopped garlic, pepper and others, a perfect blend that really fits to enjoy this meatball and its sauce.
It seems incomplete if you have not added sauce and chili sauce for those who like spicy, do not forget krupuk to add perfection.
"Bakso Beranak" This large portion, if eaten by one person, will be full. As a suggestion maybe if ordering "Meatballs Birth" you can eat for both with your spouse, your mother, your father, your brother, or like me, eating with my beloved child and wife.
But if you want to try it yourself, you can also order other types of meatballs with the right portion for yourself. There is meatball chili pepper, the meatball with chili sauce chili paste that has been mashed and pan-fried, it is very spicy. There is also a type of cheese meatball, perfect for children who like cheese. Or "meatball vein" with a delicious mixture of spices. There is a choice of coarse grain and tendon. if you want to taste all, you can choose a combination, this can be according to your wishes, for example "urban meatballs", meatball chili pepper and cheese meatball, all in 1 bowl, only Rp. 15,000 only. You must try it!
2. Ayam Gepuk Pak Gembus khas Jogjakarta
Ayam Gepuk Pak Gembus is located at Jl. Kp. Sawah, Jatimulya, Cilodong, Depok City, West Java 16413
Ayam Gepuk Pak Gembus Khas Jogyakarta already has 462 branches spread in some parts of Indonesia even to Southeast Asia. In Pondok Rajeg has recently opened a branch. Early openingnya they give promo with the price of Rp. 15.000, - can eat with white rice that can be refilled many times, chicken gepuk with sambal, lalapan: cucumber slices and cabbage and a glass of ice tea that can be refilled. Promo lasts for 2 weeks, and I am interested to try it. It turns out it tastes great and makes me re-buy it again.
Here is the price list of Ayam Gepuk Pak Gembus Khas Jogyakarta
Opening a branch in Pondok Rajeg, Ayam Gepuk Pak Gembus has a place that is not too broad, but quite clean and comfortable. there are about 7 tables that can accommodate up to 28-30 people.
Jago (my 2nd child) - hmm... what are you doing kid ? :-D
Ayam Gepuk Pak Gembus is fried chicken, only served in "gepuk" after fried, then on it there is a very spicy onion chili, freshly made by the chef.
I try take away chicken Gepuk, I choose the chest, because usually the meat is more and bigger.
This is the appearance of his chicken. Hmmm .. see the existing chili on it would have made us swallow saliva and can not wait to eat it. If I enjoy fried chicken will definitely add a little soy sauce over chilli. It feels better.
The fried chicken tastes good, savory. Back each taste can ask his chef to be fried to a crisp or just a minute. His trademark is his fried chicken which is in gepuk first, I think the purpose of this is to make it easier for us to eat it, because the chicken so slightly more destroyed, and also for when added onion chili sauce, sauce can seep into the sidelines of fried chicken that has been clap it.
For this sambal it tastes good. Sambal still fresh, freshly made when we buy new made. So the sauce is not saved or made from the previous time. It consists of red pepper garlic or commonly called by my wife "chilli devil" because this chili is very spicy indeed. All the ingredients are raw in sauce, mashed together with the addition of salt to taste better then doused with hot oil. This is very spicy, for lovers of spicy food will definitely like, can really make the lips feel hot so spicy. And for the spicy level we can request as well, how high the level of spiciness you want.
If you want to find other variant menu, here also available tempe, tofu, intestines, ati ampela, fried skin. For those who like to eat with vegetables, here is also available banana, saute kangkung and "sayur asem" fresh can complement your food side. Various types of drinks are quite complete ranging from water, sweet iced tea, mild avocado milo. For those who want to eat here with a dessert menu, can also try toast, banana fried sand or durian soup.
I only give feedback, if you're on a diet plan, do not buy chicken here, because you'll always want to add more rice and more, can make your diet fail. Ayam Gepuk Pak Gembus I recommend for those looking for side dishes around Pondok Rajeg, because there is no type of geprek chicken with spicy sauce here. Try it!
3. Bakmi Jawa "Pak Dhe"

I try to eat a special noodle Godog with a price of Rp. 20.000, -
there are three types that can be selected are Ordinary only noodle godog and egg, Special it plus eggs and ati ampela, Istimewa plus eggs, ati ampela and pieces of chicken wings / thigh / brutu.
Owners come from Java, Yogyakarta, so for a sense no doubt, it is certainly delicious, like eating java noodle in Yogyakarta. After we select the menu we ordered, chef directly cook it. That night there were not too many buyers, so I did not have long to wait, about 10-15 minutes of godog noodle was delivered to my table.
Before I review about godnam noodle, the place to eat here is lesehan. So buyers who eat on-site, sitting under a carpeted floor and a dining table with low legs. It feels like eating at an angkringan place in Yogyakarta, but here the place is clean enough, spacious and comfortable.
Bakmi Godog feels very good at enjoying at night, with the weather rather cold because Pondok Rajeg rushed rain. A plate of warm Bakmi Godog was ready to eat.
Bakmi Godog its contents are not its ordinary noodles, there are eggs, vegetables (cabbage), tomatoes, spring onions, pieces of ati ampela, sliced green onion dab. It was not disappointing, tasty, sweet, savory, salty with warm sauce, delicious and the portion was filling, I finished eating it until the last drop of gravy.
For those who do not like the Bakmi Godog, here is also available fried noodles, spices and the same content with Bakmi Godog, it's just this fried noodle and coupled with soy sauce, so it seems more dominating sweet taste savory. One more type of noodles are sold nymek noodles, this noodle served with gravy, but for bakmi cooked longer until the shape becomes more soft and bloom.. For spicy lovers, you can request to add slices of chili. If you around the Pondok Rajeg, should try to stop in this place ... because a plate of delicious java noodles ready to treat your longing will be home in Java, also filling your stomach. Try it!
