Culinary :: Martabak Sumo > Magelang ~ Central Java ~ Indonesia

Murtabak is a stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread which is commonly found in Saudi Arabia (especially the Tihamah and the Hejaz regions), Yemen, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Thailand. Depending on the location, the name and ingredients can significantly vary. The name mutabbaq (or sometimes mutabbag) in Arabic means "folded".

In Indonesia, the Murtabak is one of the most popular street foods and is known as "martabak". There are two Indonesian versions: a sweet one, and a savoury one with egg and meat. Lately, vegetarian murtabaks and other forms of murtabaks with chicken and other stuffings exist and can be found in many Indian Muslim restaurants in Singapore, most famous being those restaurants facing the Sultan Mosque near Arab Street.

Martabak Sumo, is a franchise of martabak and recently, it is open in Magelang. It's famous with 8 flavor of sweet martabak.

In Magelang, located at Jl Pahlawan 68, Magelang (halaman parkir Nikita Futsal), open at 15.00 - 22.00.

The cake is delicious and crunchy. With thick topping, which made it want to eat it again.

Prepare to waiting on a long line, when you order. Don't forget to try the red velvet too.

Lunch Bulgogi Jungol / Korean Marinated Beef > Gyeongju, South Korea > Day 04 (2) - 2014 October 11 (Busan, Gyeongju, Seoul, Daegwallyeong, Nami Island, Mt Seorak, Kuala Lumpur)

When we arrived at Bulguksa Temple, it's already noon. So we decided to eat lunch first. There's so many local restaurant nearby, and some of ahjumma give you a pamphlet with their restaurant menu. So becareful, once you take the pamphlet, ahjumma will calling you times to times as long as you are still in there. But for polite, just take the pamphlet and smile. Just pretend that you don't know what they talking about if you didn't want to eat in their restaurant.

This street located in front of Bulguksa Car Parking, there's a lot of restaurant along this street.

We found Bulgogi restaurant and decided to eat Bulgogi. We have to order 2 portion minimum for 1 menu. I'm not understand why maybe because 1 portion of food is very little and the bowl or plate is designed for 2 portion. So they will serve the 2 portion become one bowl/plate. There's also the side dish.

2 portion of Bulgogi Jungol in 1 plate

It's yummy. It's really different from what I ate outside Korea. And I really love the soup. It's refreshing. Especially in cold autumn or winter.

Actually, eating in South Korea is quiet expensive (for me).

One portion of bulgogi Jungol cost 15.000 won (1 portion of bulgogi, 1 rice and 1 set of side dish). And we have to buy minimum 2 portion, so it cost 30.000 won (2 portion bulgogi, 2 rice, and set of side dish). Then we add another bowl of rice for 1.000 won, so for this lunch, we spent 31.000 won.
The exchange rate in Indonesia, approximately 12,3 won at that time. So we spent IDR 381.300 for 3 people.

Wow... That's why I spent more money in eating. And 2 portion, is really much.

Ttaro gukbap (따로국밥) > Busan, South Korea > Day 03 (8) - 2014 October 10 (Busan, Gyeongju, Seoul, Daegwallyeong, Nami Island, Mt Seorak, Kuala Lumpur)

Before go to the next destination, we go to a restaurant which my friends said it famous. It sells Gukbap 국밥. When we get there, there's so many people eat there.

Gukbap are dishes developed from guk. The term literally means "soup with rice." The dish is typically served in restaurants, and has become popular among the working class since the late Joseon Dynasty. (Wikipedia)

There's many kind of Gukbap, and we choose Ttaro gukbap (따로국밥). And it's really suitable to eat when winter, hot soup on cold weather.

It's Pork Soup. And it's delicious. There's chili inside the soup, so if you don't like spicy, you can carefully separate the chili first.
