What I like about Indonesian food other than deliciously savoury taste is that their food presentation and place decoration are more creative and way beyond my expectations.
Speaking of that, today I will show you one dish that hopefully will amaze you based on the size of the food that I tried at Warunk Buntut Gajah restaurant.
What? Buntut Gajah?? Yeah man 😂😂. I don’t know why they named this restaurant Buntut Gajah, but for sure I can guarantee you that they don’t sell buntut gajah (a.k.a. elephant tail) dish. Instead, they are selling super big bone marrow dish named Sop Sum Sum (IDR88.000 around $8.80).
From what I heard, Sop Sum Sum is their special dish that is available only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with limited quantities each day.
Because of that, I ordered Sop Sum Sum and steamed rice (IDR8.000 around SGD80 cents).
One plate of steamed rice comes with small perkedel and few pieces of emping crackers.
My dear ordered Nasi Goreng Rendang (IDR46.000 around SGD4.60).
Sop Sum Sum contains huge bone marrow surrounded by the soup with carrots, potato, scallion slices, fried shallots and steamed beef slices.
They put plastic straws on the bone marrow, so you can drink the soup inside the huge bone marrow. The bone marrow soup and collagen taste are unique but I still can appreciate it.
They serve the Sop Sum Sum in hot condition, so it becomes nicer to mix the soup with the steamed rice.
For me and my dear, Nasi Goreng Rendang is the star among the dishes that we have ordered.
This Nasi Goreng Rendang consist of fried rice, sunny side up, beef rendang with a little bit of rendang sauce, crackers and few vegetables.
Nasi Goreng Rendang is very delicious, way beyond my expectations. It’s a great combo dish that combines fried rice taste and beef rendang with rendang sauce. I am very speechless eating this Nasi Goreng Rendang because it’s tasted soooo good.
We really recommend you to try their Nasi Goreng Rendang.
