The Bowl of Happiness
I ordered their signature Mie Ayam Bakso.
- The Noodles: Springy and yellow, cooked to perfection.
- The Topping: Savory chicken with a hint of Central Javanese sweetness.
- The Bakso: The meatballs are “garing” (bouncy) with a strong beef flavor.
Customizing Your Bowl
For the best experience, mix 1 spoon of their homemade sambal, a dash of soy sauce, and a squeeze of lime. The acidity balances the savory broth perfectly!
Sold Out Alert
Although they close at 5 PM, they often run out of meatballs by 2 PM. Come early for lunch to ensure you get the full menu.
It’s a comforting bowl that warms the soul, especially in Salatiga’s cool climate. A five-star taste for street food prices.
