Vania

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to a place that’s got more flavor than a soap opera plot twist—Bakso & Mie Ayam Pak Jarot! Located at Jl. Gajah Mada No. 20 in Mataram, this spot is like the superhero of street food. Seriously, if you’re looking for a place that serves up some serious comfort food, this is it!

First off, let’s talk about the menu. I dove right into the Bakso Urat, which is basically meatball heaven. I mean, if meatballs had a fan club, I’d be the president! They were so juicy and flavorful that I almost forgot I was in public and started doing a happy dance. You know, the kind where you look like you’re trying to shake off a swarm of bees? Yeah, that was me.

Then came the Mie Ayam Ceker. Now, if you’re not familiar with ceker, it’s chicken feet. Yes, you heard that right! I know what you’re thinking—“Feet? Really?” But trust me, they’re like the little crunchy nuggets of joy that you didn’t know you needed in your life. It’s like finding out your favorite band is coming to town—unexpected but totally awesome!

And let’s not forget the ordinary Mie Ayam. I mean, who doesn’t love a classic? It’s like the reliable friend who always shows up with snacks. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the chicken was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. I was half-expecting it to start singing a ballad about love and loss.

Now, I have to mention the atmosphere. It’s got that casual vibe where you can choose to sit at a table or go full-on picnic style with the lesehan seating. I opted for the latter because, let’s be real, who doesn’t want to eat like they’re at a backyard barbecue? Just don’t forget to wear pants that allow for some serious food baby expansion!

As for the service, it was top-notch! The staff was friendly and quick, which is great because I was ready to devour everything in sight. I mean, I could practically hear my stomach growling like a bear waking up from hibernation. And the best part? The prices are so reasonable, you’ll have enough left over to treat yourself to dessert—or a second round of Bakso. Because let’s be honest, one round is never enough!

So, if you’re in Mataram and looking for a place that serves food that’s super delicious (yes, I’m quoting a review here), then Bakso & Mie Ayam Pak Jarot is the place to be. Just remember to bring your appetite and maybe a stretchy pair of pants. You’ll thank me later!
