CIREBON'S CULINARY TOUR : PART 4 "NASI LENGKO"

Nasi Lengko? Maybe you only knew nasi kuning or nasi uduk because we could find these foods in many cities. But, Cirebon had a different food from nasi kuning or nasi uduk we (Cirebon People) had something different and its called 'Nasi Lengko'. Nasi lengko was a traditional food that made from rice, tempe, tahu, nut sauce, chives, bean sprouts, fried onion, also ketchup and you can add some sambal and crackers. It's a healthy food with less of cholesterol. In this article i would tell to you about Nasi Lengko on Mang Haji Barno that located on Pagongan, Pekalipan, Cirebon.
Me and my friends decided to ate in there because Mang Haji Barno served a different Nasi Lengko than the others. What things made different? First, how Mang Haji Barno Fried tahu and tempe. He doesn't add salt. Next, his special recipe for nuts sauce. The sauce was harsh maybe because the nuts only mashed by 'ulekan' not by blender and also the fusion of spice and made its different with another Nasi Lengko in Cirebon. On Mang Haji Barno, we could also order beef satay. The satay had big slices and tender meat and made your Nasi Lengko special if you order Mang Barno Satay. With a portion of satay and a portion of Nasi Lengko, you only paid Rp. 20.000
After we finish our Nasi Lengko we went home again. See you in the final culinary tour on part 5. I would tell you about a legend culinary in Cirebon that was Nasi Jamblang.
