Nasi Pecel Mbak Ira (Khas Madiun) in Beji, Depok

(Nasi Pecel Mbak Ira in Beji, Depok)

As a Javanese, I always craving for Indonesian Traditional food in my daily diet. Can you imagine in a big city like Jakarta, how hard it was to find such food as Nasi Pecel which has the original taste? Well, it's one of my lucky day!

Today, 23th August '15. I was driving around Beji area in Depok. Suddenly my mother told me that she wanted to have breakfast. So I open my eyes and started to look around. Mostly, food stalls in Beji started to open at 10 AM, but it was 8 AM when my mother ask for breakfast. Then I saw this big banner with "NASI PECEL" written on it.

By the time we reached, there were like 2 occupied tables. So we picked somewhere near the kitchen to ease us in ordering. Basically, they're not only selling Nasi Pecel but also another Indonesian traditional cuisine such as Bakso, Bandeng Presto, and Chicken. There were also the famous Tempe Mendoan. Yumm!

I personally choose their "Nasi Pecel + Bandeng Presto" which cost Rp.23.000,00. It was a lovely nasi pecel served above a banana leaf, fully covered by the peanut sauce. I love their peanut sauce, it was very fresh and tasty so as the vegetables used in the nasi pecel. I also love the Bandeng Presto, especially the portion, it was big! So worth the taste and the price.

And so as my mother, she loved it very much. She also ordered the same menu as I ordered. Because the Bandeng Presto was so nice.

My second interest is their "Tempe Mendoan" which cost Rp.8.000,00 for 3 pieces. This mendoan is "wet" type which I love and served with spicy soy sauce. It was not only a soy sauce because we can taste the "petis" inside. The tempe mendoan was very delicious and perfect to be eaten while hot.

For the drink, I choose a regular "Hot Tea" which cost Rp.4.000,00. The sweetness is perfect, and also I loved their level of bitterness for put the teabag a little bit longer. Hot and refreshing!

Overall, I really enjoyed the food. I hope that Nasi Pecel Mbak Ira could expand their outlets to Jakarta, I really wanted to have nasi pecel for my lunch without travelling around to Beji.
