Dinner With A Local Pride Menu Called Soto
It's called soto, a local pride which is a comfort food choice when you don't have an appetite.
There are certain times when we lose our appetite, especially during rush hours, and get tired. But our bodies need food intake for energy. The solution is to choose certain foods, including comfort food, which is easy to get in cafes.
That happens to me often. Lost my appetite and I'm worried about my stomach problems. When I travel with my husband for certain business. Fatigue makes me reluctant to eat. But I also have to love myself by paying attention to my food intake.
Like today, I'm quite exhausted. I think I just want to sleep right away. But yeah I can't do that yet. My husband stopped the car at an old restaurant that had been around for a long time. It's been there since my school days.
Called WARUNG BAMBU I AM, with a typical Indonesian restaurant feel with a semi-outdoor concept. Luckily it didn't rain tonight in my area. So, make sure it's not raining if you visit this place.
This restaurant is quite comfortable and cool, with a garden concept. Even though it is in the middle of the city, it is quite comfortable because they have lots of big shady trees.
It makes me feel like I'm eating in my back garden. Not noisy.
What I like about this place is that the food served can make me able to finish my food, even when I don't have an appetite. They provide traditional Indonesian food. So, that's quite helpful.
I ordered a menu called soto. At first glance, it looks like Thai-style green curry. With coconut gravy, with mung beans sprouts filling, also with various fillings that can be chosen according to our taste such as chicken, beef, or ribs. For me, I chose ribs soto.
This menu is served warm with rice. Sprinkled with fried red onion and local crackers. What I like is the warm, creamy, and savory sauce typical of coconut milk.
Yes, coconut milk gravy can help you eat to increase your appetite. Eating warm gravy is quite comfortable, right? How about you guys?
I always order a variation of the soto menu if I'm on the go. It feels like I don't need extra effort to finish my food. Just a simple food with delicious heavenly gravy, and fragrant spices that whet your appetite.
Apart from that, of course, green chili sauce is provided for those who like spicy food, the average Indonesian palate. And most importantly, the soto menu is easy to find in cafes, restaurants, and even night street food vendors.
For the price? No need to worry because this local food ranges from $1.5-$2 depending on the filling choice we choose. Well, that also depends on the restaurant. If it's a fancy restaurant, the price will definitely reach $5.
For my meal this time, I only spent $1.5. It's really worth it for dinner that makes me excited again to fill my energy.
Have you ever enjoyed a dish similar to soto? vegetables served in spiced coconut milk gravy with a rich taste of spices. Super comfort and filling in your stomach. :)

Soto Medan is the most delicious soto in Indonesia. Nothing can beat it,
Big yes!
I've never tried anything similar, it looks extremely delicious. 😍 I think that if I had the opportunity to eat such an attractive dish, I would add a little green chili sauce. I love spicy! Thank you very much for the recommendation! Soon I see a dish like this somewhere, I'll order it right away. 😌
Whoa, you like spicy. I have many spicy ingredients for sure 😊
In my house we don't eat spicy food so since I was little I hadn't tried flavors like that, there are almost no spicy ingredients either, except for the occasional spice. But I will be attentive to recommendations for spicy dishes, they are my gastronomic downfall 🤭❤️✨
1.5 USD for that soto, i think that's worthed it, sis! Seemed you enjoyed it too..
Yeees, soto Medan is perfect sis than soto in Jakarta if you like thicker gravy with coconut milk ingredients
You gave me a food reference, would like to try it later. Thank you, sis
Definitely that dish must be delicious because I like everything with coconut in it hahahaha and the price seemed great, very economical.😊
For sure, I like everything with Coconut too 😊

The food looks great, especially the rice crisp on the top gave it a nice vibe. Loved the place.
We have a similar dish in our cousin called 'Halim'. :)
Have a good day. 🌻
Oh, glad you have similar dish there
Have a great day 😊
The green gravy looked very similar to our Thai's green curry dish. I wonder whether tasted similar or not. :) Enjoy your dinner
I thought the taste is not similar. This is smoother in taste I think because have no Basil on the seasoning
ahhh could be. Our green curry is pretty strong, even spicy sometimes
I've never tried soto medan before. Does it taste different with soto ayam madura?
Soto Medan is thicker and has rich in herbs
Ah okay. I think I have to try this one
Thanks for sharing!
You should try it when you are traveling to the Medan city
That looks yummy. And you're right, I also initially thought it's green Thai curry....
Yeah but in this dish not using Thai basil for the seasoning 😊
I rarely eat Indonesian food but when I do, beef soto is a must and of course, bakso too 🤗
Yeah you must try those meal when you visit Indonesia 😊
Now I know Soto is made of coconut gravy and that is the reason why it is the best comfort food when you do not have an appetite. I so love coconut gravy with veggies too and fruits like Ginataang Nangka or an unripe jackfruit cooked with coconut. I see you have monggo beans there too. Happy eating sis and I hope you are well.
We have curry nangka too ❤️
Have a great day
