Ayam Bakar Taliwang Papin — Restaurant in Yogyakarta

28 November 2024/ Paket maiq gati 21rb, es jeruk 5rb, ditambah PPN 10% jadi total 28.6rb. Paket maiq gati isinya ayam bakar, nasi, lalapan, 2 tempe, plecing kangkung, sama sambel korek. Ayam bakarnya enak banget, smokynya kuat meskipun luarnya nggak banyak yang gosong, citarasanya gurih pedes. Pedesnya setara cabe 2-3 sih kalau pake analogi ayam geprek. Sebenernya agak kepedesan buatku tapi bisa dikuatin, enak hahah. Nasinya nasi putih standar. Tempenya kecil, 2 iris tipis, rasanya gurih enak. Lalapannya ada kubis gede, 1 iris timun, 1 iris tomat, sama 1/2 jeruk nipis buat diperes. Plecing kangkungnya enak, porsinya gede, dengan atasnya dikasih kecambah sama sambel tomat seger khas plecing bertabur kacang tanah goreng. Sambel tomat segernya lumayan pedes, ditambah dengan bumbu ayam bakarnya wah nendang banget. Sambel koreknya enak, pedes gurih bawang khas sambel korek, cuma sayangnya karena aku udah overload pedes jadi nggak kumakan banyak, cuma buat cocolan tempe aja. Buat pecinta pedes cocok sih.

Tempatnya lumayan luas, mejanya banyak, settingnya outdoor beratap gitu. Sambil nunggu bau bakar ayamnya menyeruak dari dapur harum banget, bikin tambah laper. Ada tisu di tiap meja. Ada wastafel dengan sabun untuk cuci tangan. Ada toilet juga di belakang. Bayarnya bisa pake QRIS. Parkirnya di emperan depan, untuk mobil muat sebaris, nggak luas sih. Motorku kutaruh di samping mobil, nggak tau mestinya parkir di mana. Nggak ada tukang parkir.

Overall enak, harganya emang lumayan mahal untuk ukuran makanan sehari hari Jogja, tapi untuk langganan sewaktu waktu cocok sih....

The menu is simple, just chicken or fish but you get a lot of food for your money. The grilled chicken is decent, and while the grilled fish is a generous portion, it's nothing special. The main dishes are fine, but they don't really stand out.

What really caught my attention was the incredibly good plecing kangkung. It was the best part of the meal, though it could have been better if the kangkung had been drained properly. The sambal has the spice level I crave, but it's missing some...

Exceed my expectation! Never tried ayam taliwang before so I have no idea about its similarity with the 'real' ayam taliwang in Lombok, but I can say that it was a pleasant experience. It tasted great, the chicken was nicely seasoned, the beberuk sambal was refreshing + spicy, the plecing kangkung was nice too. And it is cheap!! I chose the complete set "Paket A4" rice + ayam taliwang + tempe + plecing kangkung + beberuk, and it only 18k rupiah! So...
