Culinary Tourism in Payakumbuh, West Sumatra

When going to Payakumbuh, my friend and I made a list of Payakumbuh Sumbar culinary that we can taste later. We made this list even the week before we got there. Alhamdulillah, upon arriving there, we had the opportunity to take a walk and taste my favorite cuisine directly in the original land.

Satay Padang Payakumbuh

Unlike the satay in general, which is baked for a long time, the skewers are baked more briefly and dipped in a thick gravy in a large pot that is always in a heated position. Sate Padang is served on a plate that is given a base of the leaves with a sprinkle of fried onions.

This dish is famous for its distinctive taste, using beef (sometimes off) that is cut into small pieces and served with a thick, yellow or red soup that is rich in spices. The uniqueness of Sate Padang lies in the seasoning used that is different from the satay of Madura or Sate Maranggi.

The slices of meat are bigger and thicker than the field satay that I used to eat in West Java, with a more yellow soup seasoning. Tastefully, this field satay is quite tasty, even though on the tongue I prefer the Sundanese version of the land.

The Padang Sate that we visited was Sate Padang Danguang Danguang, typical of Payakumbuh, located in Payakumbuh Market. There are two stalls with the same name. Both are right on the highway, Jl. Soekarno Hatta, which was crowded with vehicles. Strategic location (city center) plus adequate parking space makes this culinary destination a must-visit in Payakumbuh, Sumbar.

We chose the green starch and sat on the inside. One portion is priced at Rp. 30,000 for 10 skewers of kureeb with an additional one piece of rhombus at a price of Rp. 5,000/cut. Since I just recovered from the GERD, I asked for the gravy and lontong to be separated from the satay because the taste of the gravy is quite spicy and hot in the stomach for me.

I gave a rating of 5/5 for Danguang Danguang Field Satay.

Martabak Egypt H.Wan

I just got to know Jasmar from Egypt when I visited Payakumbuh because my friend insisted on tasting Egyptian martabak directly in its original place. I think this is a new type of martabak, and it turns out that Egyptian martabak is a designation for egg martabak.

The term "Egypt" in this martabak arises because this type of egg martabak was first brought in and introduced by the Arabs and Indians, who were later referred to as the "Egyptian People." This egg martabak is known as the martabak of Egypt.

Still in the afternoon culinary, Payakumbuh Market, Jl. Soekarno Hatta, Payakumbuh, not so far from Sate Danguang-danguang, Menong's friends will easily find this Egyptian martabak stall. Indeed, there are many sellers of Egyptian martabak, but the most recognizable is martabak egymney.

Lapak martabak Egypt is different from the egg martabak stall in the Java area, which is usually in an area not too wide and does not provide a place for 'dine in' because martabak eggs in Java are usually wrapped to be eaten at home. Lapak Martabak Egypt is quite spacious, equipped with a line of tables and chairs for dining on the spot.

Menong's friends can see the process of making, plus the workers who are weeping and garning onion leeks that accumulate (and without washing first).

Interestingly, the size of this Egyptian martabak is not as big as the size of egg martabak in Java. The size of the Egyptian martabak is small enough for the portion of one person only (and full). Another unique thing is that we do not need to wait for martabak to be made first because ripe martabak is available on the storefront table and can be directly eaten, not much different from the row of snacks in traditional markets.

Martabak Egypt h.wan

We eat each serving of martabak beef egycme (no other variant) with cuko gravy and cayenne pepper that tastes super tasty and refreshing. And this is the best egg martabak that I have ever tasted, so I desperately brought two servings of Egyptian martabak as souvenirs back to Bandung.

This martabak I bought H-1 before going home and kept it in the fridge. It's just that the cuko gravy that I kept in the cardboard (the plane's luggage) broke and wet the other souvenirs.

We also visited the restaurant Martabak Egypt in other locations with more modern places with a more diverse menu. A comfortable place, spacious field, and affordable price (even though this place is a cafe class) make Martabak Clean H.Wan worth a friend Menong choosing.

I gave a rating of 5/5 for the Jover H martabak. Wan, the best egg martabak I've ever tasted.

Rendang  

Rendang became a culinary origin of Indonesia, which was named the best food in the world by CNN. When we first set foot in the Minang realm, we had already hunted rendang, including when visiting the Harau Valley.

If you have been enjoying rendang as the best food choice wherever Menong’s friends are, Menong’s friends must taste the Payakumbuh rendang, which is made as the best rendang in West Sumatra.

And sure enough, wherever we eat, I do not forget to taste rendang that has a slightly different texture from rendang in the land of Java. The texture is softer and looks more crushed, alias not too-shaped rectangular meat. This is the effect of how to cook for a long time.

Rendang is also served not only with beef but also with eggs, chicken, lung, or mushrooms. Menong friends can also buy instant rendang that is widely sold in souvenir shops. It tastes good too. The price is Rp. 85,000/250 grams.

I gave a rating of 5/5 for Payakumbuh rendang as one of the culinary Payakumbuh sumbars that is worthy for Menong's friends to try.
