About Bakso (Indonesian Meatball Soup)

Hello, Tasteemers! Maybe you first heard a food called BAKSO. Let me explain it to you.

Bakso is the Indonesian version of meatball soup which is one of the popular dishes in Indonesia. Broth on meatballs is the most important part that most affects the pleasure or not of a meatball dish.

Usually meatballs are served with yellow noodles, white rice vermicelli, rice vermicelli, or can be enjoyed without noodles. Fried onions and pieces of onion leaves enhance the taste of the broth. To strengthen Indonesian special taste, don't forget to add chili. Meatballs without chili, not means meatballs for Indonesian people. Indonesians love chili!

For filling in the broth, in addition to meatballs, there are minced meat, ribs, and eggs. For those who are not full with one serving of meatballs, you can add rice.

Menu Offered by Bakso Solo Samrat

Bakso Solo Samrat do not have a variety of menus. Bakso Solo Samrat only provide some meatballs. In my opinion, they want to focus on branding only about meatballs, so people can remember their brands strongly if they want to eat meatballs.

Bakso Solo Samrat features a friendly Indonesian atmosphere. That you can see in the application of the design of the dominant colored windows yellow and green, on the walls of the restaurant. The design reflects the traditional Indonesian side of a humble and friendly village.

Chairs and tables also display wood which is usually found in typical Indonesian interior designs. The chair has no backrest. This type of chair is usually located at the dining table of Indonesian people, which does not focus on comfort design. Because usually the Indonesian manners of the past did not allow eating while having long conversations. If you want to talk seriously not at the dining table area.

A strong Indonesian character design is also seen in the application of restaurant walls that show the authenticity of bricks which are usually used in residential areas. Such brick walls are usually no longer polished with color, simply displaying the original color and texture of brick (Bata).

My Choices

I order Bakso Isi Daging using yellow noodles. I also ordered Tetelan as a complement, because this is my favorite part when eating meatballs.

The Taste Of Bakso Isi Daging

For most meatball connoisseurs in Jakarta, Bakso Solo Samrat is a weekly choice of their favorite restaurant.

For me, Bakso Solo Samratis not my weekly choice. Honestly, as a meatball connoisseur, I am very disappointed with the taste of the broth. As I said before, meatball sauce (broth) has an important role to play in giving the whole taste of the dish.

In my opinion, the beef broth feels strange with excessive sweetness and salty like too much MSG (Monosodium glutamate) It feels like inserting a foreign object in my throat.

Luckily, I can enjoy the meatballs and tetelan. Overall, I can't afford to finish this meatball.

Look at my face. A very dissatisfied face with a pricey dinner and I feel guilty for choosing a restaurant that is not my weekly choice type.

But this is only my opinion. Of course it's different from others, although I also managed to find customer opinions on Zomato, who said the same thing as my opinion.

Jeruk Kelapa (Oranges (With Young Coconut)

Continuing to the drink, I chose my favorite drink, which is young coconut served with freshness of orange. Again and again, I have to be disappointed because the combination of orange and coconut juice feels an unbalanced composition. Very sad.

Yes, I am very sad because I have to spend 70k just for this food.

Conclusion

Bakso Solo Samrat can be a weekly choice for those of you who want to taste the famous Indonesian meatballs in Jakarta.

Note: My disappointment with the taste may only be at the outlet in the Cipete area that was just opened. The others outlet may have a taste that does not disappoint. I hope that this Bakso Solo Samrat at outlet on Cipete can bring their better taste to the future.

See you at the next Yummy Traveler!
