Sate Kambing dan Thengkleng Pak Manto Veteran — Restaurant in Jakarta

Updated 3rd Visit:

Akhirnya anak gue udah cukup gede buat ngunyah daging kambing. Reaksi dia pertama nyobain Tongseng disini cuma bisa gue deskripsiin, dia meremin mata, tangannya yang megang sendok gerak-gerak melambai kayak kegirangan, sambil ngerebahin kepalanya ke lengan gue kayak Mark Wiens kalo lagi foodgasm, sambil bilang, "Enak banget Daddy....." Langsung dia ambil kerupuk putih, trus dia siramin pake kuah Tongseng dan diatasnya ditaro potongan daging dan jeroan, ala-ala makan Nachos, dasar anak zaman sekarang 👻 hahaha jangan cerita cerita ke Mommy kalo kita kesini 🤫

Agak takjub juga dapet 6 pcs lemak, 🥺 sedih padahal saat visit pertama full daging.

Inikah tongseng yang asli? The Real Tongseng?

Entahlah selama ini gue memang gemar makan tongseng sejak SD, padahal darah Solo gue cuma ¼ doang. Sebelum menikah, almarhumah Ibu Mertua gue aja bingung gue bisa kenal sama temen pengajiannya padahal waktu itu gue masih pacaran sama anaknya, lha gue udah sering makan di Rumah Makan Tongseng nya temennya Ibu mertua dari kecil 😅. Walaupun begitu gue belum pernah dateng ke Solo, jadi gue gak tahu seperti apa Tongseng yang sesungguhnya disana.

Nah, kali ini gue nyari nyari tempat Tongseng lain di Google Maps, dan nyampelah di Tongseng Pak Manto ini.... Dan rasanya Warbiazzzaaa.... Enaaaaak! 😘😋 Empuk, gak pake lemak, rempah dikuahnya berasa. Dan Kol serta tomat gak dimasak, cuma disiram aja sama kuah dan daging yang baru matang.

Setahu gue tomat memang harusnya gak boleh dimasak, karena Vitaminnya bisa hilang. Vitamin C itu rusak jika kena panas. Bravo Pak Manto! 👍🏻

Gue punya penyakit lambung, dan sejak divonis penyakit itu gue gak pernah makan kol lagi. Tapi disini, semuanya gue makan, kenapa? Karena tongseng disini beda dengan tongseng di kebanyakan tempat lain yang isinya kol doang, lalu lemak, baru deh daging kambing dan tomat.

Tuh buktinya tandas 😋 foto piring kosong itu, hehehe 🤭

Bawang putihnya juga gak pelit, dan cocok buat netralisir daging kambing yang buanyak itu. Haaaah... Puas, puas, puas. Alhamdulillah. 🤲🏻

Staf kalian disini ramah-ramah. Makanan gak pake lama, minuman Jahe Sereh yang gue pesen juga cepet keluar. Rasanya pas, gak over power sama Jahe, tapi gak tipis juga. Pokoknya pas.

Ada area non smoking yang pake AC. Wah nyaman dah.

Memang kalo yang gak biasa pasti takjub sama harga seporsi tongsengnya. Tapi coba deh dipikirkan lagi;

Full daging no lemak Potongan daging besar dan banyak Gak pelit rempah Beli seporsi buat makan berdua juga sebenernya bisa (cuma gue gak rela aja bagi-bagi 😁) Terakhir, isinya gak cuma kol doang seperti kebanyakan tongseng di Jakarta (kecuali tongseng temen almarhumah ibu mertua 😘)

Kayaknya gue mesti ngelakuin seperti almarhum bokap dulu, selalu ngajak gue makan tongseng sembunyi-sembunyi dari nyokap 😅. Berhubung dapet istri yang juga gak suka kambing, gue pengen banget kesini lagi bareng anak gue, "Sini Dhadhy ajak makan tongseng yang enak, tapi jangan cerita-cerita sama Mommy 🤫 sssstttt...."....

My Son lure me to this restaurant that he saw on TV.

Arrived before lunch and the parking spot is almost full.

Greeted by the hot stoves and grill pit infront of the resto, we rushed inside and take a table within an aircon area, otherwise you can sit outside fighting the fume and smoke from the grill pit.

We order lamb fried rice, lamb skewer, tongseng and the fresh thengkleng. This is all about lamb.

Food arrived fast enought and surprised me a lot, my fried rice portion is so big that can serve 2 or 3 person and the fried rice is so so spicy, OMG.

The Lamb skewer taste great, they use a lot of spices and pepper powder on it.

The best part is still the fresh Thengkleng which is so aromatic and soft, no chilli.

For drink I order Kampul Tea which is actually...

As always ... DELICIOUS

Has a similar authentic taste with its original Tengkleng Pak Manto Solo. Same size per portion, even same plate pattern. Prices are affordable, worth for perfect taste.

You wont be easy to find car parking lot at lunch or dinner time. Especially on weekend.

Their signature dishes Tengkleng (part of the mutton, or the meat that still sticking on its bone, such as ribs, feet and some other boney part) and Sate Buntel (made from ground mutton or possibly beef, then bundled in a layer of fat). Both Tengkleng and Sate Buntel served with soy sauce, sliced cabbage, tomatoes and red shallots.

Best part is they cook the dishes with charcoal, so it make the smell different and so good.

Tengkleng price as per March 2022 is IDR72.000...
