SOERABI ENHAii cabang Bogor

The Entrance
This time I have an opportunity to spend Saturday afternoon walking around Bogor with friends of Urban Culinary Bogor. We deliberately walked because weekend Bogor is very crowded with traffic. Even though we got caught in a heavy rain, we are in high spirit and prepared with our rain gears, such is the popular Indonesian proverb "Sedia Payung Sebelum Hujan" which literally means prepare an umbrella before it rains.

The first place that we visited this afternoon is located in Taman Kencana, this area in Bogor is famous for culinary lovers with many restaurants around to feast yourself. We decided to visit "Soerabi Enhaii" Bogor branch which is located in an open food court area in Agri Park.


The ingredient for surabi are: coconut milk, rice flour, coconut and salt. While the traditional surabi uses palm sugar for its topping, what makes this place special for customers is that the customers are free to choose the flavoring topping. With around 60 different flavors it is guaranteed that you will want to order another one with a different topping. It's delicious, original and pleasant to eat while it's hot.

Emon The Manager :)
According to Emon (Area Manager Bogor), it's been about 5 months since Surabi Enhaii started operation in Bogor. It opens from Monday to Sunday, on Friday it's open from 14.00 and on Sunday it's open from 08.00, other days it's open from 10.00 till 23.00. Usually on a Saturday and Sunday this place is always full, it's not just filled with youngsters on dates but also with their families. Emon said the reason they opened shop in Bogor because surabi is familiar with the taste of Bogorians, climate and its strategic location. Surabi Enhaii has 63 unique flavors and we guarantee you will like the food served by friendly waiters. Price ranges from Rp. 7000 - Rp. 15000 for the serabi and Rp 4000 - Rp. 8000 for drinks.

BAKSO KUPAT GENTONG

Still around Taman Kencana Bogor, this time we moved to another place to eat called Bakso Gentong. The place is next to d'Fla cake not far from Pia Apple Pie. It is located in front of Factory Outlet Store (FOS), they utilized the back area to sell the Bakso. Such a creative idea!



The owner said that their bakso business is known from mouth to mouth, originally the madam made the bakso for his husband served with ketupat (packed rice in coconut leaf) and lime. Unexpectedly her husband liked it and they decided to make their bakso business here. Their specialty is the Bakso Kupat Gentong and Es Dower, one bowl of bakso kupat gentong is Rp. 17.000, pretty cheap right?!


Bakso Gentong opens around 9-10 in the morning and closes at 21.00, it's open on national holidays. Bamboo interior dominates the architecture of this place, it's guaranteed that you will fell comfortable to stay long here hanging out while eating delicious bakso in this place. Free wifi is available, so don't worry for the internet savvy! Patrons range from young teens to parents, the delicious bakso is said to be made by the madam.
