RM Anggrek, Bangka

RM Anggrek is the last place we visited right before heading to the airport (before that we stopped by at Warung Es Ayong again for the second time..hahaha). Well, I heard that the oxtail soup in RM Anggrek is yummy and its Es Anggrek is quite well-known. So, we decided to have lunch there and we ordered:

Neo Raja Laut Seafood, Bangka

And we finally arrived in Parai, we were amazed by the beautiful view beach they got there.. we spent the day at the resort and when it came to dinner time we decided to go out of the resort and were heading to Neo Raja Laut seafood restaurant. It is the most famous seafood restaurant in Sungailiat area. Located around 10 minutes away from the resort we stayed in. As we reached there, we ordered these:

Lempah

This is Lempah (kind of the trademark food in Bangka), it has the mix tastes of sour, sweet and hot. There are pineapple slices and cherry tomatoes inside the soup. Kinda unique and I simply love it! Although I mentioned that this tasted sour, sweet and hot but it doesn't taste like tom yum. Anyway, we can choose what kind of fish we wanted, for this time I chose Stingray. Once I ate it, I really love the taste of the soup and of course the Stingray as well, the meat is really soft. I think this one is a must order food if you're visiting Neo Raja Laut :)

Cumi Masak Asam

Warung Kopi Tung Tau, Bangka Part IV

After eating Es Kacang Merah, Bakmi Asu and Otak Otak Amui we were very full and decided to go to Parai beach straightaway which located one hour from Pangkal Pinang. Along the way, with full stomach my fam and I almost fell asleep but not until we spotted a warung kopi named Tung Tau. It is located in Sungailiat (halfway to Parai beach), I heard that this warung kopi is very famous even Pak Bondan ever visited here. From the info I got, the famous one is their Roti Bakar Telur and Roti Bakar Srikaya and of course their coffee selections. Well..without any further notice, we asked the driver to pull over and we ordered these:

Perfect match!

We ordered black coffee with Roti Bakar Telur and Roti Bakar Srikaya Keju, we decided to add cheese into the Srikaya ones because my mom loves cheese. Anyway, the black coffee was so good, it has nice smell and great taste even my mom who really loves coffee said that the coffee tasted great!  

Roti Bakar Telur

Otak-otak Amui, Bangka Part III

Well, our culinary trip did not stop till Bakmi Asu, we continued again to the next destination before heading to Parai beach (1hour away from Bangka city), yes! it's time for otak-otak Amui. From the info I got, many people said that this place is a must visit one if you're in Bangka. So, with my full curiousity, I was so excited to try it even with quite a full stomach after eating Es Kacang Merah and Bakmi Asu --"

So here we go, it's time to review otak-otak Amui:

Bakmi Asu, Bangka Part II

After eating the famous Es Kacang Merah we decided to try Bakmi Asu, this is a non-halal place. Bakmi Asu is very well-known not only for their bakmi but also their other menus such as pork innards soup, pangsit rebus and ikan Lempah but I didn't get the chance to try their ikan Lempah, it's SOLD OUT :(

So, we decided to ordered these:

Bakmie Asu

This was the bakmie Bangka with minced chicken meat mixed with fried onions on top as the toppings and it was also served with Jeruk Kunci (almost all types of food in Bangka are served with Jeruk Kunci to replace 'cuka'). So, once it reached my table, I squeezed the Jeruk Kunci all over the bakmie to give a little bit of sour taste and I add the chilli as well... and yeah.. I'm ready to eat it! Well.. I simply love the noodles here, somehow it was different with any other bakmie Bangka I've tried in Jakarta. The noodles and the beansprouts were perfectly boiled and the taste was not too salty either, it blended well with the taste of the Jeruk Kunci and its chilli.

Pork Innards Soup

Warung Es Ayong, Bangka Part I

Last weekend, my family and I were decided to visit Parai beach in Bangka island for a short weekend getaway. It was our first trip to Bangka, I was very excited as so many people told me that Parai beach is very beautiful and there are many yummy food in Bangka, I simply couldn't wait any longer to start the culinary trip in Bangka..well.. and of course to see the Parai beach too.. hahaha but in this blog I'll only post the review about the food there :p

Here is the first place we visit once we landed in Bangka:

Wagyu Steak

When I passed through Tanjung Duren area, I spotted a restaurant named Wagyu Steak ? (Yes, with a big question mark). I was quiet curious with that restaurant, so my mother and I decided to pull over and had lunch there. When we entered, the first thing came to my mind was..."oh well.. the place isn't like my expectation" why?? it was hot inside (they only turned on a few air cons while actually the place is quite spacious). Well, enough about the place.. it's time to order the food. When I looked at the menus, I was quite surprised with the prices because it could be said very cheap for wagyu steaks (well.. it actually depends on the quality). Other than Wagyu steaks, there are also other menus like chicken steak, prawn steak, gordon blue, chicken katsu and many more. And after scanning through the menu list, my mom and I ordered 2 Wagyu X Steaks (55K), one with Black Pepper sauce and another one with BBQ sauce. Here are the pics:
