Kalap @ Lucky

I have been telling you that it is hard to find malay food which suit with our taste. Then yesterday our buddy called and asked us to join them for dinner in downtown. He said that he had ordered ayam pop for us. Wait. Ayam pop? The ayam pop that we used to eat in Ciumbuleuit? Without any questions, we agreed to go.

We went to Lucky Plaza, in the food court at level 6 there is one stall selling Indonesian food. Apparently this ayam pop is not listed in the menu. Special order and supposedly only available on Sunday. So to get it on Saturday night is extra special; no wonder when we arrived it wasn't ready yet. But no worries, there are other dishes in the menu list. We decided to order couple of dishes to share as 'appetizer'.

Started with batagor. We always like batagor and this one is quite authentic! Imagine the taste of tahu baso dipped in spicy peanut sauce... Hmm... Within seconds the plate was empty. And the ayam pop wasn't ready yet. Second dish: bihun baso malang. Yummy! Then it was time. The ayam pop arrived. It comes with sayur daun singkong, sambal cabe merah padang, and large chunk of rice. Taste: really-really good. Chicken was nice & tender. The chili sauce was a bomb: spicy, a bit sweet, but addictive. Definitely not for peeps with weak-stomach!

And for dessert we managed to get one of Sunday's special menu: kolak pisang -which involved: persistently asking whether the kolak is ready, storming into their kitchen and waiting, refused to leave until the kolak is ours...
