Sop Buntut Ibu Henny

Look, I am not a big fan of Sop Buntut or if I may translate it in English ; Oxtail Soup. I don't even crave for the famous Sop Buntut Hotel Borobudur; if you want to know. But this one over here, is a definite definite Must Try !!! I know the original store is in Sunter, close to Kelapa Gading. I haven't tried the original store but the branch in Emporium Pluit Mall, food court is heavenly enough for me!

I had this menu above for a mere Rp 55,000. It comes with no rice but with additional a few thousand rupiah, it shouldn't be any problem. Loveee the buntut bakar !! Sweet, spicy and smokey aroma is definitely strong in the oxtail. The soup is also super duper good. Very dense in beef broth and even though I know the MSG they put in is massive, I couldn't stop scooping the soup until the last bit of drop. Bloody good but bad for cholesterol. As always, balance is key :)

Food Court Area

Food Hall Supermarket (Food Court)

   

The next time you go to Food Hall Supermarket, take two seconds and notice the 'open kitchen' they have in the middle of their store. You can choose the meat and for a little more money, you're able get them to cook it for you on the spot. It's like a mini food court area. The concept was attractive, thinking extremely fresh produce cooked on the spot. However this was first time trying and I could only say nothing except bad reviews.

Menu : Nachos Chili Bean Supreme
Price : Rp 24,000 ++
Score : 4.0 / 10

>> The portion was generous but the food tastes barely a pass! The nachos was cold and the dipping chili bean sauce was way too oily. The wasn't enough chili spice in the dip and rather tasteless. It was disappointing and definitely far away from the true Mexican nachos!

Menu : Potato Skin with Chili Beans
Price : Rp 18,000
Score : 4.5 / 10

>> I gave this a near pass because I like potato skin by natural. But this doesn't mean I'm encouraging you guys to try. Not good either. The skin wasn't crisp at all, it was all way too dry and I seriously think that the potatoes are all frozen and just re - heated when ordered.

Menu : Wagyu Steak
Price : Rp 55,000
Score : 3.5 / 10

>> Wasn't sure which grade was the Wagyu but still, for a mere Rp 55,000 I was all excited but the when the food came, I frowned. I asked for a medium well and they gave me rare. I saw blood oozing out from the middle. I needed them to heat it some more. The salad and mash potatoes was quite pathetic too. Bottom line, bad cooking !
