Hi everyone, happy Sunday (Indonesian Time) and I hope you have a very very good day and are full of blessings. As usual, today is still about food, and this time I want to tell you the place I visit a few days ago while I am bored at home.
This place called “Miso Pak Imam”, a small restaurant at the center of Pekanbaru city, located at Jl Paus No 4 Pekanbaru Pekanbaru, Riau. Just about 50 meters from the Paus Street Gate.
Coffee Corner of Miso Pak Imam
In the main building, there is a small coffee corner, so this place is not only selling the food but also selling coffee, they serve a few kinds of coffee but I'm too hungry to ask it so I don't know the list of the coffee.
Main Building of Miso Pak Imam
The main building is mostly built using wood and brick, like a classic building in Indonesia. You can eat inside and outside the building. There’s a big tree outside and a few tables free to use, but because at the time I went there raining, I can't eat outside, but it is okay.

Chicken Soup Menu - Miso Pak Imam
This time I order 2 menus, the first one is Chicken Miso. Like usual miso in Indonesia, miso is served in a regular bowl with 5 pcs of meatball with some smooth noodles and some vegetables. The miso soup tastes so good, the taste of the broth is strong without much flavoring. The soup is easy to swallow because the soup is hot when they serve it.
For some people, they like to combine the miso with soy sauce or tomato sauce, but this miso dont need both of them, its already perfect
Manuk Londo
And the other one is Malon Penyet Cripsy. Ever hear, I bet no. So Malon stands for “Manuk Londo” in Javanese. This “Manuk Londo” is the result of a cross between the local quail which is the laying quail and the French quail which is the broiler type. And the purpose of this crossbreeding is not only to increase productivity but also to improve resilience to the tropics. Because Manuk Londo is a rare delicacy in my city, without further ado I ordered it.
Manuk Londo Crispy - Miso Pak Imam
Malon Penyet Crispy serve with a few slices of cucumber, a leat of lettuce, and some basil leave. With a bowl of rice sprinkled with fried onions, They will give you a small bowl of spicy green chili, maybe it is not enough for you so you can ask for extra spicy green chili and if necessary add a bowl of extra rice.
And for the snack, i order a portion of spicy fried tempeh and fried tofu with spicy red chili. Spicy red chili is a bit different flavor than the green one. This spicy red chili is mos suitable with fried tempeh and fried tofu. But it's okay to choose one or both.
Thanks for today my friend, see you on the other post.
