Family Day (Saturday, 22 March 2008) part 1

Fyiuhhh... Finally, my family can spend one day to hang out together. Last time was when we spent one day together (+ my cousin, Mia) in Dunia Fantasi in September 2007 before Ramadhan. Our destinations for this vacation were lunch at Cilandak and visit Masjid Dian Al Mahri which is well-known because of its golden dome (kubah emas). In this blog, I will tell you about our first destination.

OK.. Let's start the story...

About 11 AM, we went from home to Coto Makassar Daeng Memang on Jl Ampera Raya, East Cilandak, South Jakarta. FYI, this time, I drove my car from home to not far way from the restaurant because it was a little bit difficult for me to park the car in this restaurant :P This was the 3rd time, I drove my avanza on public road. Because of long weekend, it seemed that most of jakarta citizen were travelling to out of the city so that there was no traffic jam. After about 45 minutes, we arrived there. The place is not far from Trakindo Cross-road. If you are from Pasar Rebo, you must turn right while if you want to go to Trakindo, you must turn left.

The restaurant is simple, not too big but also not too small. Inside it, there are about 10 tables which there are 8 chair in each tables. When we arrived there,the visitors had filled about 1/3 of the tables. Based on my mom's story, in lunch time, the restaurant is usually full. Now, it's time to order!!! And this is the menu...



My sister and I ordered Sop Konro/Iga Bakar while my father, mother and brother ordered Coto Makassar. For Coto Makassar, there are two choice, full meat or mixed (meat and jeroan). For drink, my sister, brother,and I ordered es campur; my mother ordered es pisang ijo; and my father order es jeruk. About 5 minutes after we ordered, the waitress deliver Coto Makassar and our drink. You can eat it with rice or lontong. Sop Konro/Iga Bakar came about 10 minutes later.


Lontong-----------------------Coto Makassar with lontong----- Coto Makassar with Rice

My menu (Sop Konro/Iga Bakar and Es Campur)

I will tell you about my menu. Sop Konro/Iga Bakar contains of cow ribs, kuah (which is same with Coto Makassar), and peanut sauce. I ate it with lontong. I cut lontong using spoon and put it in kuah bowl. It's easy to separate meat from rib' bone. After you separate meat from bone, you can put it in kuah bowl and eat it with lontong and kuah or you can eat with peanut sauce. Both of them are delicious :P My drink is es campur. It just like common es campur contains avocado, cincau item, mutiara, jackfruit, coconut, milk and ice, of course. For sop konro/iga bakar, I give score 7,5 for 1-10 scale. The price is Rp 25.000 for Sop Konro/Iga Bakar, Rp 1.000 for one lontong, and Rp 7000 for es campur.

We finish our lunch at 12.30 PM. It means we are ready to go to our second destionation for today. I will tell about it in my next blog :)
