Mangut Beong Asli Borobudur 2 — Restaurant in Central Java

First time tasting this kind of fish, Beong. The taste is simply like catfish (lele). According to the owner, the fish are coming from Kali Progo and other small rivers near the place. This fish is quite rare and living in a muddy environment.

There are many kind of dishes made from this fish. We tried three kind of dishes, spicy (mangut beong), savoury (opor beong), and balado (deep fried beong cooked with sambal). The tastes were good. My Philippino friends said it was yummy although it was also the first time to taste the fish.

The price is also reasonable. They make packages of the menu. 25K for any menu and rice is all you can eat.

Only that they can improve the sitting arrangement. Or make it more cozy and homey. The big tables and chairs are not giving a good feeling to taste the...

It is very difficult to find food in the Borobudur temple area, but after looking for several recommendations, one of them is this mangut beong. My expectations are like mangut catfish smoked and cooked with spicy curry. However, when we ordered the mangut beong, the spicy gravy tasted very different. Spicy that I feel is still sweet, the beong fish is like fish that is cooked directly without being smoked so that the meat is half cooked. Although here you can take as much rice and vegetables as you want, the main menu in my opinion is ordinary and everything is sweet and not spicy at all. The price is quite expensive. I think if it was made a spicier version it would be more delicious. But people's tongues...

Khusus ke Magelang untuk berkunjung ke Mangut Beong Asli Borobudur. Rumah makan yg berada di pinggir jalan persis, mudah ditemukan tempatnya. Mungkin ini satu2nya di sepanjang jalan Borobudur yg buka waktu puasa ya, karena tengok2 kanan kiri ga ada RM lain selain ini.

Rumah makan ini cocok untuk keluarga yang membawa lebih dari 4 anggota karena tempatnya yang cukup luas dan tersedia pilihan duduk atau lesehan. Tempat parkir luas, muat untuk 5-8 mobil.

Baru pertama kalinya datang kesini, dan nampaknya juga belum terlalu lama sekitar 2 tahun RM ini berdiri. Disambut owner yang ramahhhh😉 Untuk pilihan makanan cukup bervariasi tidak hanya mangut beong saja, tapi ada mangut nila, mangut lele dan mangut ikan lainnya tapi memang yang spesial adalah mangut beong.

Kisaran harga mangut beong yakni 40-75rb dan tersedia pilihan kuah pedas dan tidak pedas. Untuk kuah pedesnya menurut saya cukup nampol rasa pedasnya, kalau yg ga suka pedas lebih baik pilih kuah gurih aja. Ikan beongnya juga bisa milih, mau yg potongan atau utuh. Menurut lidah saya, rasanya cocok (masakan Jawa). Tapi mungkin bagi yg suka masakan cenderung ke asin, mangut beong ini harus ditambah garam sedikit (kalau bisa)😁.

Tapi overall untuk tempat, rasa, dan pelayanan okeee banget, ga nyesel jauh2 kesini cm mau cari mangut beong. Sukses selalu RM Mangut Beong...
