Good evening, Indonesian time, HIVE friends wherever you are, have you ever heard of snakehead fish? Many people hunt freshwater fish because they are believed to be able to accelerate wound healing, especially after major surgery, due to the high albumin content in this snakehead fish. However, there are not many restaurants that specifically sell this snakehead fish soup. But not with one restaurant that specifically sells soup in my city.
Yesterday afternoon after returning home from school, my body felt very unwell, this was due to the weather which was a bit extreme lately, so many people in my city had the flu and prolonged coughing, as well as me and my family, although now I have rest by taking enough vitamins and maintaining a healthy life but it turns out that the disease still comes to me. Therefore I need something fresh and hot to continue to maintain my sanity. ha..ha.. even though my tongue feels very bitter and all food has a bad taste for now, but I want to get well soon so I fight all feelings bitter on my tongue.
This cafe is named SEGAR MANTAP and the name of this cafe is very fitting for them to use because the taste of every soup that is here is very good. For the menu at this Cafe, only soup is available, but not just one kind, there are various kinds of soup here, namely rib soup, stengkel soup, and snakehead fish, meat soup, mushroom soup and many others. What makes this soup so famous besides its light taste is the way it is served quickly and the soup comes in a state that is still boiling.
Talking about the taste, the fish meat and other meat in this soup is very soft so it is very easy to separate from the bones, but even though it has a very soft texture, the sweet taste contained in the meat does not disappear at all, like the snakehead fish soup that is I ordered this, many soup restaurants that I met in other cities still tasted fishy in serving the fish soup, then there were some soup houses that also served with various heavy spices so that I felt full quickly and bitter on my palate at the same time, but unlike the one in this soup house, the snakehead fish that I ordered was not only soft, but the fine snakehead fish spines also seemed to disappear so I didn't have to choke, the resulting sauce also tasted very light and not Too much use of MSG. From what I can taste on my tongue, the broth in this soup only uses garlic and a little hazelnut, salt and broth.
Apart from taste, fast serving, this cafe is also supported by an interior that still smells rustic, this cafe is located on the outskirts of the city but the building is deliberately made more classic with the selection of bamboo poles and designed visitor chairs like a house so that visitors who come will look like they have come home. Even though this cafe is not very wide, many visitors feel at home here. This cafe is naturally cold without air conditioning, there are several types of seats here that you can choose from, and talking about prices at this cafe, they are still within normal limits. 1 portion of soup is priced from Rp. 25,000 up to Rp. 45,000, depending on what soup you order. and one serving of soup that we ordered can actually be for 2 people, especially if you add it with rice, it must be very filling.
What about your city, is there a cafe like this in your country? If not, hopefully this can be an inspiration in your city. Greetings from us Tomi and Maya from the city of Binjai, INodnesia
