The Runaway Cow

Bakwan Ing

Resto Vegetarian satu ini mungkin namanya paling unik di antara semua resto yang pernah saya kenali, vegetarian tapi judulnya bakwan :D

Ternyata dahulu kala tempat ini terkenal dengan bakwan sapinya, tapi dalam perkembangannya, empunya resto berubah menjadi vegetarian karena agama. Namanya tetap, tapi sapinya sih  kabur, kata empunya resto.

Bakwan means meatball, which is quite odd for the name "Bakwan Ing"
The story is, the proprietor used to sell bakwan or meatball made of beef. Years passed and the owners decided to be a vegetarian due to religious reason. The name stuck, but the cow ran away they said.

Sate 'Usus' Vegetarian

Pepes Tahu - Bakwan Ing Vegetarian

Harga makanan di resto ini berkisar Rp 10.000 - Rp 20.000. Cukup terjangkau untuk kelas resto sejenis. Di daerah Jagalan ini ada beberapa resto vegetarian, satu lagi ada di ruko di seberang resto ini, tapi saya belum pernah ada kesempatan mencobanya.

Price here varies from Rp 10.000 to Rp 20.000. It's quite affordable for this kind of restaurant. On the same street there's another vegetarian eatery, just opposite this one, but I haven't got the chance to try it yet.

Vegetarian Chilli Sauce

Nasi Soto Koya Vegetarian (Rp 20.000)

Soto 'Ayam' palsu ini rasanya enak, selain penuh bumbu, diberi juga minyak supaya kuahnya tetap terasa lezat. Dagingnya sih jelas kelihatan palsu, tapi kuahnya terasa mirip sekali dengan soto asli.

This is Soto or indonesian soup, which is usually full with broth and oil. Here the dish have similar soup, though the meat is clearly visible as glutten.

Pangsit Mie Vegetarian - Bakwan Ing (Rp 17.500)

Walau judulnya bakwan, yang enak di sini bukan cuma pangsitnya, semua yang sempat difoto ini rasanya cukup enak.

Though the namesake is bakwan which usually in the same group as this wonton noodle, all the dishes are equally good. 

Lontong Cap Go Meh Vegetarian (Rp 20.000)

Lontong cap gomehnya menarik, rasanya mirip dengan versi non vegetarian, bakal sulit mau bedakan dengan yang versi asli karena bumbunya cukup banyak.

This is a famous peranakan dish, which is called Lontong Cap Go Meh, made of 'chicken', rice cake and various condiments. It tastes similar to the non vegetarian version, and it tastes just right.
