Rumah Makan yang Sumuk, Debuen.... tapi... Enak
 |
| Chiang Kong Surabaya |
Chiang Kong ini salah
satu resto legendaris di Surabaya. Saya sering mendengar namanya dari
teman-teman, terutama yang tinggal di sekitar resto tersebut.
This eatery has a
very spartan atmosphere, don't expect air conditioner, fancy cutleries not even
a clean table. If you read the above title, it's translated as hot & humid,
dusty but delicious, and that would sums the place up for me.

Teman-teman yang suka
merekomendasikan tempat ini biasanya lebih sering pesan antar atau dibawa
pulang. Saya sempat bingung saat melihat harganya, karena untuk ukuran harga
makanannya lebih mirip dengan resto dengan suasana nyaman dibandingkan depot
tanpa AC. Setelah mencoba makan di sini, akhirnya saya bisa menyimpulkan kalau
harganya cukup sesuai dengan kualitas masakan yang dihidangkan, porsinya besar
dan rasanya enak. Andai suasananya sedikit lebih nyaman, bakal lebih seimbang
dengan makanannya.
Friends that
recommend this place are more often have the dish for take-away rather than
eating in. At first I was quite baffled, their price is quite similar to other
more comfortable Chinese restaurant, with decent air conditioning and genuine
restaurant ambiance.
After trying it for
myself, I concur the food does match the price, portion are big and the taste
are nice.
If the place was a
bit more comfy, it would better suits the quality of the cuisine served here.
Kita mengunjungi
Chiangkong saat jam makan siang, sekitar pk 14.00. Saat itu masih belum ada
tamu lain, dan kita memilih meja yang posisinya agak dalam. Walau sudah memilih
meja yang agak jauh dari pintu, tapi tetap saja terasa cukup berdebu,
kemungkinan karena posisi pintu yang selalu terbuka dan menghadap jalan raya
langsung.
We visited Chiang
Kong for lunch, it's about 14.00 when we arrive and it's almost closing time
for them. We did choose a table in the middle of the eatery, and it's still
quite dusty. I guess that's the drawback of having a small eatery with main
doors located so close to the busy road.

| Chiang Kong - Ayam Putih (Rp 50.000) |
Walau mejanya relatif
berdebu tapi peralatan makannya cukup terjaga kebersihannya. Tidak ada keluhan
tentang masakan yang dihidangkan.
Though their interior
are pretty dusty and barren, there's nothing to fault with the dish. Their
presented nicely, with a clean plating and a bit of garnish.
 |
| Chiang Kong - Sup Bibir Ikan porsi 1/2 (Rp 40.000) |
Sup Bibir Ikan juga
masuk salah satu menu favorit di sini, dan memang rasanya cukup ideal. Tidak
ada rasa yang terlalu dominan, rasa asam asin dan manisnya seimbang.
This Fish Lips Soup
is listed on their favorite menu list, and yes it's that good. The seasoning
are just balanced, a combination of sweet and sour, with a bit of spiciness.
 |
| Chiang Kong - Baby Kailan (Rp 20.000) |
Baby Kaylannya
standard, tidak istimewa tapi juga tidak buruk. Untuk selera saya masih ada
banyak resto dengan olahan sayur yang lebih lezat.
Most of their food
are quite special, the only exception is this baby kaylan dish. It's a bit
strange for me, and not as good as other chinese restaurant. That being said
it's still perfectly edible and not off putting at all, it's just that there's
plenty of similar eateries with better tasting vegetable dish.
 |
| Chiang Kong - Udang Mayones (Rp 55.000) |
Mengenai menu favorit,
masing-masing punya selera pribadi. Saya sendiri paling menyukai ayam putihnya
yang sepertinya banyak kemiripan atau sama dengan ayam haynan. Sedangkan
partner makan lebih menyukai Udang Mayonesnya.
Both of us have our
own favorite menu on that luncheon. For me their White Chicken (similar to
Haynan chicken or Singapore's Chicken Rice) is the best dish of the day. While
my dining partner choose the Shrimp with Mayonnaise as her favorite.
