Hi, I am Arveno from Surabaya city. In this content i want to share about one of delicious meal in Indonesian from East Java province that really famous called Pecel. Usually this food is eaten when breakfast time but actually the best time is for the lunch since the portion usually is big and heavy ( at least for me). Its been a long time me and my wife not eating Pecel. Its hard to find Pecel in busy days since this Pecel food usually run out after breakfast. Like this day after we are going to sending flower to my daughter we are ended searching food for breakfast and lunch and ended here.
In my city this stall is called Depot that is place we can order food to dine in or take away. Many people just ordered to take away and eating at home. I want to do that too but my wife said that she already hungry so well whether I want it or not it should my wife decision in the end. Yeah and ended eating here not eating home. There are many food list in here. My wife ordered Rawon to take away, this is like meat in the black broth we usually made the broth using plant called Kluwek that will make the broth black but taste delicious.
I really dont know about this place when the busy time and when the quiet time. But, this time after a little bit breakfast time,this place still really crowded and busy. Many people take away and eating at home i guess. And since that day is holiday many people after working out and doing morning walk or run stopping by in here to eat or just drink or take away.
After a while waiting the queue then my wife ordered this Pecel. When in restaurant or Depot like this usually my wife make the order since usually she always adding something else. So, i just said what i want and no add at all.
Like this food, she adding Fried egg, and corn omellete.
This Pecel taste actually not bad. But, compared with Pecel in my hometown, its totally different. The peanut paste and the vegetables here is kind of not fresh. I dont know maybe in low land like this many vegetables cannot hold for a long time and it cannot be fresh because of the hot temperature. Its different in my hometown in highland. It feels fresh for the vegetables. And the peanut paste in here kinda salty and oily. In my hometown its sweeter and less oily.
But, overall i still can eating this. Too salty for me buts its okay. accompanied by Warm tea in the morning is the best thing. Even though the weather is hot its still suit when eating Pecel. I dont know why but its really fit. Its like neutralized the salty from the peanut paste and the food also warm tea can make the stomach not bloated. So, if you guys visiting Indonesia. Dont forget to try Pecel. And of course please order the rice also. Pecel itself is just mixed vegetables with peanut sauce. and when mixing with rice the taste is really delicious.
