Warung Nasi Kuning Salma Saroja — Restaurant in Manado

this place ought serves nothing but nasi kuning, but we'll get back to it later. I arrived at around 2pm and there was visually no other visitor. really cast doubt on those good reviews tho.

we sat in, ordered 2 plates and drinks. nasi kuning came in swiftly with minced potatoes, a whole hard-boiled egg, abon, slices of fish meat, and maybe more of toppings I can't recall.

my partner asked to the staff (owner?) if they know the nearest place to buy pisang goreng (fried bananas here in Manado are served with spicy sauce). initially they said it was the wrong time to buy them, since ppl usually enjoy fried bananas after nightfall. well ok, maybe next time, we thought. but a few minutes later she asked how many bananas we needed, we told her we only need a few to satisfy our curiosity, and beyond our expectations she said she'll get it from her relative who sell it. we haven't finished our meal when she deliver the bananas with...

The nama Is famous, my friend told me that this is the best nasi kuning in Manado. Even his family ask for this food whenever he come back home to Surabaya.

One portion was enough for 4-5 hours before you feel hungry again. I was too full to order one take away. They use woka leaves to wrap the nasi kuning.
