Stepping into Bakmi Pangsit Manalagi in Ampenan, Mataram, is like taking a nostalgic journey back to my childhood. The moment I entered, I was enveloped by the warm, inviting atmosphere that reminded me of my mother’s kitchen during family gatherings. The spacious layout of the restaurant, though lacking a grand parking area, is complemented by the helpful parking attendants who ensure your visit starts off smoothly.

The highlight of my experience was undoubtedly the noodles. The authentic taste is a delightful reminder of traditional Chinese cuisine, crafted with love and care. As I savored the Mie Manalagi, or Mie Teki, I was transported to a world of flavors. The pork was succulent, and the broth was thick and rich, a perfect companion to the perfectly half-boiled egg in the Kuah telur. Each bite was a symphony of taste, with a satisfying crunch from the fried dumplings and a comforting softness from the steamed ones. It’s a dish that resonates with anyone who appreciates homemade flavors.

While the portions may be a tad small for some, the price of around IDR 40,000 feels justified for the quality and authenticity of the food. The unique yet familiar taste of the noodles dances on the palate, leaving a lingering satisfaction that is hard to forget. The restaurant itself, humble yet inviting, is nestled in the old town area of Mataram, adding to its charm.

If you’re looking to dive into the culinary scene of Ampenan, look no further than RM. Mie Manalagi, a hidden gem located on Jl. Banda 17. This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience authentic Chinese flavors with a local twist. The atmosphere is casual yet inviting, with spacious seating that allows for a relaxed dining experience.

As I stepped inside, the aroma of sizzling noodles and savory dumplings enveloped me, instantly whetting my appetite. The decor is simple but charming, making it a perfect spot for brunch or lunch with friends. While the parking situation might not be ideal, the presence of a parking helper eases the stress of finding a spot.

Now, let’s talk about the food! The star of the menu is undoubtedly the Bakmi Pangsit, which comes in both soup and fried variations. One reviewer mentioned, “I really enjoy to have nasi goreng only at this place and soup egg,” highlighting the diverse offerings. However, the noodles are where the magic happens. They are made with lard, giving them a rich flavor that is hard to resist. Fried and steamed dumplings accompany the noodles, and both are said to be delicious. As one satisfied customer put it, “One of the best Chinese food pork-based in the city! Cheap as af!”

For those who prefer something lighter, the Nasi Goreng Spesial is also highly recommended. The combination of flavors is a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to traditional cooking methods. However, be mindful of your order; as one diner cautioned, “Just make sure what you order for, sometimes what you order not served.” This is a small hiccup in an otherwise delightful experience.

While the food shines, the service can be hit or miss. Some patrons have noted that the owner isn’t particularly friendly, which can detract from the overall experience. But if you can overlook that, the flavors will surely win you over. As one enthusiastic diner exclaimed, “Mantap banget, ngasi sambal ga pelit juga sukses terus,” which translates to “Absolutely delicious, they don’t skimp on the chili sauce, and it’s always a success!”
