Pangsit Mie Pengampon, Jl. Pengampon, Surabaya, Indonesia
January 11, 2015
Everytime I go back to Surabaya, Indonesia, the one thing I have to eat is Street Food. No, not any street food, you have to be smart about it, you need to know your places or recommendations. Not all street food are yum, nor are they clean, or maybe you might not even like it, but then they might wow you and take you to places you may never have experienced. I always find that authentic and local food lies within the hearts of Street Food or those traditional restaurants, family-owned restaurants that goes way back. Of course I do enjoy other cuisines and eating in restaurants but sometimes, you just want something different, something special, something you may not come across often but always enjoy coming or eating it every now and then. I don't eat street food quite alot being in Brisbane most of the time but everytime I go back home, I always eat it may it be only twice or five times, but usually, there are a couple of Indonesian local dishes I really do miss so I try and eat once of each when I'm back.
'Pangsit Mie' (don't remember exactly, roughly IDR25k - AUD$2.5) is basically Wonton Noodle when translated literally into English. It is a dish which has been brought from the Chinese region prepared simply by making the noodles handmade, topping the noodles with minced pork marinated in soy sauce and also, fried onions and chives. Sometimes they do add a slice or two of greens such as chinese spinach or bok choy or such and this is usually served with a bowl of broth. The noodles are yellow noodles and accompanied by wonton (pangsit).
A definite must try for a simple authentic Indonesian noodle dish.
