Bubur Cikini

The sky was dark, promising heavy rain. Before the rain was about to flush the streets of Cikini Raya, the hot steam poured out from a large cage in Burcik's shop, H. Sulaeman. The new open lid closes hot steam splitting the twilight dimness. Momentarily divert the attention of the drivers on the highway. Lined bowls filled with porridge with shredded chicken, cakwe and fried chips served sweetly on the surface accompanied by steaming hot steam, arousing appetite for immediate consumption. Really invited visitors to stop by to see it, not least me.

The still hot chicken porridge has been served at the visitors' tables. Seen the frenzied visitor at the Burcik shop. Sanak family, closest relatives to the people after returning home to gather to eat the warm meal as it rained down the Cikini Raya number.

The look of the frosting does look different from the appearance of chicken porridge in general. Broth or curry looks not to overflow the surface of the porridge. Sweet soy sauce also does not appear to scribble shredded chicken, cakwe and fried chips. There is no satay offal and quail eggs that adorn the shop window. Just like the chicken porridge concoction in the style of the bamboo curtain country. What makes this unique is the chicken egg yolk which is immersed in hot porridge. Before eating, we can adjust the level of maturity of the egg yolk. If left alone for a while, the egg yolk will turn half-cooked. If you prefer to eat porridge which is immediately stirred immediately, the color of the pulp will turn yellowish.

Feeling cikini porridge mixed with free-range chicken egg yolk does not make the stomach feel tired and nauseous. Uniquely, the fishy aroma of egg yolks does not make our nose grow flat. The fragrant aroma of ginger which is cured when cooking porridge defeats the fishy smell of the new egg yolk immersed in the porridge. On each table, there are small bottles of soy sauce and pepper. Buyers can at any time add soy sauce to Burcik to strengthen the taste. Cikini porridge tastes tasteless when not added soy sauce. While we ate a portion of frosted, the strains of the ukulele passages from street singers did not forget to accompany the buyers to pan spoon by spoon of porridge into the stomach that they wanted to warm. Lekker!

In addition, other food menus served at HR Sulaeman's store are equally delicious. After enjoying chicken porridge, try the martabak menu as a cover. Eating a martabak with two duck eggs is fairly wide when served at our table. Certainly, the martabak ensured that the hunger in the stomach was completely evicted when we were going to the resting throne to go back to the office the next day.
