Pindang 77 - Bengkulu

This is memory eating place with my late beloved mom. it was one of their favorite rout for lunch. large taste of palembang food in bengkulu.

Good food, but it had raised price. the main dish is pindang patin, but its hidden gem is ikan bakar (drilled fish,) which has very good sauce.

Eating is great, the place is clean and good for din in

It is a gem restaurant near padang panjang beach. all foods are recommended. wc and space available on 2nd floor

Pindang 77 Bengkulu City Bengkulu February 2020 Tempoyak Pindang Kepala Patin for 35 K IDR Various sources who do not know each other all pointed to this place as the best pindang place in town, so i had to give it a try. Admittedly this is the freshest patin (Pangasius) i have ever had and I guess in that light they did work with it magnificently, but what this meant is that the pindang broth itself should not overpower the fish. And overpower it did not the broth was nice and subtle, but that's exactly my beef with it that it was a bit too soft and subtle in regards to its flavour profile. Perhaps i am a bit more used to other pindangs in which the strength of the yellow broth is essential in imparting its flavours into whatever was cooked in it, but i really could have used some more heat and spiciness. Even the tempoyak (sambal made with fermented durian) became more of a subtle aftertaste rather than the strong pungency i have come to expect out of the namesake. But i guess this then probably becomes a good way to introduce both pindang and tempoyak to those who prefers a softer palate. The 8 K for 4 fried tempeh was quite okay for that price. The 15 K cah kangkung was also quite ample and nice, but i have a suspicion they cheated a bit. Sadly the 12 K avocado juice was too watered down and the 7 K for a portion of rice also kinda hurts. However, on its own 35 K for such a huge piece of really fresh fish is amazing value for money. I know this is kind of the boondocks, but this is definitely worth a visit if you're ever in the area. #good #food #in #bengkulu #indonesia #pindang #tempoyak #durian #worth
