From now on this blog have its co-writer. His name is Tejo. His experience in "culinary journey" are a lot more than me since his work consist of traveling to a lot of cities. Basically we both love to eat, and are narcissistically enough to write about it. So I hope Me and Him, both of Us, could give You more information about all that food eating fiesta.
He has His first writing here about Mie Anto, looks yummy, I never had it, for
I've never been to Makassar, which I've heard has sooo many great food (someday I will go there, and I promise You, when i'm there, I will eat the hard way!!).
So we both hope You'll enjoy the writing.
Happy Eating!!

Mie Anto
Location: Near to Losari beach, Makassar (ask locals, they would surely redirect you to the place)
For me, Mie Anto is probably one of the most anticipated home-cooked noodle restaurants in Makassar, its so-called stall opens daily from 11 AM to 11 PM, wherein crowd does always appear at 8 PM upwards. Having said to Makassar's home-cooked noodle restaurant, it has actually several of it, its most popular one, called "Mie Titie" can be found even in Jakarta. Nevertheless, there are only several tourists or national visitors who recognise Mie Anto as their favorite. My personal experience is that, when I visited Makassar for the very first time, a local driver advised me to pay a visit to this restaurant whereas Mie Anto serves a typical food of "iFu Mie" (a traditional Chinese fried noodle, served with additional kind of soup on it). In my opinion, Mie Anto has actually a distinctive taste from the other home-cooked noodle restaurant in Makassar, it has richer in ingredient, powerful taste of local preference and higher density of soupy ("lebih kental"), as compared with the others. The taste of so-called "Gurih" has been fulfilled my experience when tasting it. Generous portion of garlic, sliced chicken, and its (I'd tell you, "real") crispy-fried noodle have always pleased its customers.
A portion of Mie Anto prices at Rp13.000 (USD1.4), do not forget to add some seasoned-raw cucumber and chili (acar ketimun dan rawit) in order for experiencing sour and spicy flavor. Have a try!

STEAK JONI
Lokasi: Jl. Samanhudi Raya Pasar Baru - Jakarta Pusat
Siapa yang tidak suka steak? Kecuali anda vegetarian, tentunya anda pasti tergoda dengan sepotong daging yang dibakar dan diberi bumbu-bumbu khusus, dan biasanya disajikan dengan tambahan kentang goreng atau pure kentang dan sayuran. Saya pribadi sangat suka daging. Dan steak adalah masakan daging yang paling saya suka.
Minggu lalu saya mencoba salah satu tempat makan yang menyajikan steak sebagai menu utama. Namanya adalah Steak Joni. Makanan di Steak Joni ini terkenal murah dan enak. Jadi saya tidak ragu-ragu untuk mencobanya. :)
Steak Joni terletak di Jl. Samanhudi Raya Pasar Baru - Jakarta Pusat. Restorannya berupa ruko dan tenda di depan rukonya. Buka setiap pukul 7 malam. Pada saat saya sampai sekitar pukul 7.30 malam, resto ini sudah penuh dengan pengunjung. Untungnya teman saya sudah duluan sampai, jadi saya langsung dapat tempat duduk. Tempatnya sendiri kurang nyaman karena ramai dan panas akibat tidak adanya AC di resto ini. Terlebih lagi jika anda duduk di bagian yang tenda, selain pinggir jalan, banyak sekali pengamen plus asap dari bakaran daging yang mengepul, yang walaupun baunya enak tetap saja asap mengganggu. Tapi yah namanya juga steak murah, harus ada pengorbanannya.
Menu yang saya pesan saat itu adalah Rib Eye steak dengan saus black pepper. Seharga Rp 30.000,- harga yang sangat murah untuk daging impor. Memang harga steak disini semuanya sangat terjangkau. Untuk seporsi tenderloin steak impor saja diberi harga Rp 37.000,- untuk daging lokal harganya sekitar 26 ribuan seporsi. Dan porsinya saya rasa sekitar 200 gram, jadi cukup banyak.
Bagaimana dengan rasanya?
Saya pribadi cukup puas. Selain porsinya yang banyak, rasanya cukup enak. Dagingnya empuk dan juicy. Walaupun saya tidak memesan tingkat kematangan tapi daging yang saya makan dibakar medium well sesuai dengan selera saya. Jadi tekstur daging terasa sangat empuk. Saus black peppernya juga lumayan enak, tidak terlalu pedas. Dan yang paling saya suka, di resto ini saus sambalnya menggunakan saus sambal cap dua belibis, yang kebetulan adalah kesukaan saya.
Untuk minumnya saat itu lagi-lagi saya hanya pesan air mineral. Salah satu teman saya ada yang memesan minuman paling aneh yang pernah saya dengar. Jus Putih Telur. Apa??

Jus Putih TelurTapi saya belum berani mencoba minuman yang namanya aneh ini. Menurut teman saya yang pernah mencobanya, minuman ini terdiri dari putih telur dan alpukat. Saya tidak yakin dia serius atau bercanda. Saya sempat mencoba es terung belanda punya teman saya, tapi rasanya hanya sirup terung belanda dicampur soda. jadi kurang istimewa.
Jadi kalau anda sedang ingin makan steak dengan budget yang sedikit, Steak Joni ini patut dicoba karena rasa dan porsinya yang memuaskan. Saya pasti akan kembali lagi walau letaknya agak jauh di pasar baru.
Selamat mencoba!

Santiga Seafood (English Version)
The location: Benhil Jak Pus. In front of BCA Benhil, across the RM Padang Sederhana
From my friend's recommendation, last week I had finally visited the seafood Santiga stall that was located in the Jalan benhil. What i read in Google, all said that the Padang sauce crab was the best meal in this stall. So of course, it was the first thing I ordered when i finally get a spot to sit, the famous Padang Sauce Crab. FYI, in this stall, one portion of the crab consisted of two crabs, so you must tell to waiter if you only want to have one crab. The other menu that we ordered was, Padang sauce prawns, the chicken with butter sauce, and stir-fried kangkung cah telor puyuh. and of course rice and drinks. I ordered mineral water, and minyo had orange juice.
For the fried chicken butter we get them take away because i think we ordered too much food. hehe..
The Padang sauce prawns consisted of 5 quite big prawns. But not big enough, so for the price Rp. 42,000.- to a portion of these prawns for us was quite expensive. Quite tasty, but pricey.
The crab came last. Its size was big, and the crabs meat was very great. You could break off the meat from its shell pretty easy. From information that i read from internet, owner of santiga bought crabs directly from Tarakan each day. So his crab was definitely fresh. Padang sauce taste alright, not spicy enough for my taste. I might say, this padang sauce crab was second best. So far, the best Padang sauce i had was still the Padang Sauce Crab from a restaurant called Ameng 99 Pontianak in Jalan Gunung Sahari :) (i will write about Ameng 99 in a different post). Price for one crab here is Rp. 65,000.- which is quite reasonable since the size is huge. hehehe...
So for recap, the food here was quite good, although the price was expensive for a tent stall food. But because of the location that was close from home and my office most likely i will come back if i want to eat crabs, but too lazy to go to the north of Jakarta, the place where you can find most of the best seafood in Jakarta.
Not the best i've ever had, but just enough for me to come back.

The Kangkung cah telor puyuh priced by Rp. 18,000.- again, it was quite pricey since its sold in a tent stall. But it taste great and came with big portion.

Santiga Seafood
Lokasi: Benhil Jak Pus. Depan BCA Benhil, Seberang RM padang Sederhana
Dari rekomendasi teman saya, minggu lalu saya akhirnya berkunjung juga ke warung seafood Santiga yang terletak di jalan raya benhil. Dari hasil Googling, semua bilang bahwa kepiting saus padang adalah menu unggulan di warung tersebut. Jadi tentu saja begitu sampai disana, yang paling pertama saya pesan adalah kepiting saus padang. Sempat kecele juga, begitu saya sampai, mas-masnya bilang sudah 2 hari ini kepitingnya tidak datang. Tapi untungnya beberapa saat kemudian, mas-mas waiternya bilang kalau kepitingnya baru saja datang. Jadi deh kami memesan 1 ekor kepiting saus padang.
Oh iya, di warung ini satu porsi kepiting terdiri dari dua ekor, jadi kita harus bilang ke waiternya kalau hanya mau pesan 1 ekor saja.
Menu lain yang kami pesan saat itu adalah, udang saus padang (sudah terlanjur dipesan dan dimasak sebelum tahu kalau kepitingnya ternyata ada), ayam saus mentega, dan tumis kangkung cah telor puyuh. Untuk ayam goreng mentega akhirnya kami bungkus karena kebanyakan lauk. hehe..
Udang saus padangnya terdiri dr 5 buah udang yang cukup besar. Tapi juga tidak terlalu besar, sehingga harga Rp. 42.000,- untuk seporsi udang ini menurut kami cukup mahal. Rasanya lumayan enak, tapi yah tidak sebanding dengan harganya.
Untuk Kangkung cah telor puyuhnya dihargakan Rp. 18.000,- lagi-lagi cukup pricey untuk harga di sebuah warung tenda. Tapi untuk rasanya cukup enak dan porsinya juga banyak.
Sedangka
n kepitingnya datang paling terakhir. Ukurannya besar, dan dagingnya juga enak sekali. Bisa langsung copot dari cangkangnya. Dari informasi yang saya baca di internet, memang pemilik santiga ini mendatangkan langsung kepitingnya dari tarakan setiap harinya. Jadi kepitingnya sendiri pasti fresh sekali. Untuk saos padangnya sendiri cukup enak, kurang pedas untuk selera saya.So far, ini saus padang terenak ke-dua yang pernah saya coba. Yang paling enak sampai saat ini masih Kepiting saus padang Ameng 99 Pontianak di Jl. Gunung Sahari. :) (untuk resto ini nanti akan saya tulis di postingan yang berbeda)
1 ekor kepiting di Seafood Santiga dihargai Rp. 65.000,- Kalau yang ini harganya menurut saya sesuai dengan ukuran kepiting dan rasanya. Lumayan, mengingat lokasinya yang tidak jauh. hehehe...
Jadi kesimpulannya rasa cukup enak, walau harganya cukup mahal untuk sebuah warung tenda. tapi karena lokasinya yang dekat dan pasti saya lewati setiap hari, mungkin akan sering saya datangi kalau sedang ingin makan kepiting tapi malas pergi jauh ke daerah utara.
Not the best i've ever had. But just enough.
