We were introduced to Manadonese food by Vid in Jakarta. The place was kind of like any mixed rice shops in M'sia. But, the dining area was so much classy and with air-con. We chose whatever dishes we wanted at the stall near the entrance.
All the food looked delicious and named clearly. The number of chillies shown beside the name of the food indicated how spicy hot of the dishes. However, we didn't interpret that correctly.
As such, we ordered (stupidly):
- Cumi Woku Belanga - Calamari (3 chillies)
- Ayam Isi Dibulu - Chicken (3 chillies)
- Daging Paniki - Bat meat (3 chillies)
- Pepes Cakalang Bakar - Fish (3 chillies)
- Bunga Pepaya - Stir fried papaya stems or leaves (1 chilli)
- Pisang Goreng & Sambal - Fried banana & fish sambal
(Clockwise from top left: Fish - Chicken - Calamari - Bat - Papaya)
Fried banana & sambal
The highlight would be the Bat meat. The meat tasted like any other smoked meat, be it pork or chicken. The wings part was like very soggy fungus. Anyway, it's very hot............. As hot as the other dishes.
the Bat...
Everything was so spicy hot until our taste bud couldn't functioning well anymore. We kept on drinking the teh hangat (warm tea) hoping to cool down our tongue.
The fried banana was the only thing I felt nice because it wasn't spicy. The sambal was different. It's more like the fish paste.
