During our memorable trip to Solo, we had the pleasure of experiencing another authentic Solo cuisine: Timlo at Timlo Sastro 2.
Timlo, a cherished traditional dish from Solo, is a heartwarming clear broth soup served with an array of delightful toppings. Whether enjoyed with rice or savored on its own, Timlo embodies the essence of Solo’s culinary heritage.
With the abundance of places offering Timlo in Solo, we were determined to seek out the finest rendition of this beloved dish. Our quest led us to Timlo Sastro 2, nestled conveniently beside Selat Solo Tenda Biru.
Stepping into Timlo Sastro 2 felt like stepping back in time, as the restaurant has been serving patrons since 1952. What better setting could there be for my inaugural Timlo experience?
Opting for the Timlo Komplit, featuring a medley of toppings, we eagerly anticipated the flavors that awaited us. The bowl arrived brimming with generous portions of telur (egg), sosis (sausage-shaped fritters), rempelo (chicken gizzard), ati (chicken liver), and the pièce de résistance: the flavorful clear broth soup.
The Telur Pindang Bebek, a duck egg prepared in the Pindang style, added a unique twist to the Timlo, infusing it with rich, savory notes.
The sosis, resembling fried spring rolls filled with succulent slices of chicken meat, delighted our taste buds, particularly as the crispy exterior soaked up the fragrant broth.
The rempelo and ati, cooked to tender perfection, showcased the skill and dedication of the chefs at Timlo Sastro 2. Despite the typically challenging texture of chicken gizzard, the rempelo melted in the mouth, leaving behind a lingering satisfaction.
Undoubtedly, the soul of the dish lay in the comforting embrace of the clear broth soup. Its robust yet soothing flavor provided the perfect complement to the diverse array of toppings, resulting in a harmonious culinary symphony.
In conclusion, our experience at Timlo Sastro 2 left an indelible impression, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow travelers exploring Solo. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Solo’s gastronomic delights, and indulge in the warmth and authenticity of Timlo.
