Fried Gourami with Sweet and Sour Sauce

avatar

There are many food vendors around my house; food stalls and restaurants. Sometimes we go out to buy the food and take it home. That way, we don't need to use online food services and could save a little money.

One of those food vendors is Dapur Nusantara, a food stall that serves a variety of seafood. For instance, prawns with oyster sauce, calamari, cap cay (mixed vegetables) seafood, and so on. Because the location is close, sometimes my husband or I go there just by walking.

We've bought food from there several times, but I haven't reviewed any of the food yet. Yesterday I bought a fried gourami with sweet and sour sauce and took it home. So I will review it now.



Packaging

The packaging is made of rectangular cardboard. The brown color reminds me of traditional food wrapping paper.

At the top there are logos and pictures of various foodstuffs, complete with the blanks for the name of the customer and the choice of menu. But here the name of the customer and menu options are not filled in.



Set menu

Inside the package consists of fried gourami, sweet and sour sauce wrapped in plastic, and fresh vegetables.


Fried Gourami


The gourami is fried after being coated with spices, namely salt, garlic, and pepper. After the spices seep, then the fish is fried.

It tastes delicious, the spices seep into the meat.

The size of this gourami is medium, not too big but enough for two. In larger restaurants, the gourami size is usually bigger so it can be enjoyed by 4-6 people or more.


Sweet and Sour Sauce

Sweet and sour sauce is made from garlic, onions, red chilies, cornstarch, salt, pepper, plus carrots and pineapple.

This sauce has a thick texture with a sweet and sour taste, and a little bit spicy. Feels fresh on the tongue, perfect for eating during the day with warm rice.

Btw, sweet and sour sauce can be used in other dishes, like squid, shrimp, or chicken.


Fresh vegetables


Lalapan or fresh vegetables consists of 1 salad leaf and 2 pieces of cucumber.



Serving method

Usually at restaurants, fried gourami is poured with sweet and sour sauce directly.

But at home, we can serve it more freely: the sauce can be poured directly on the serving plate or served in a separate container. If the sauce is separated, we can pour it on our own plates.

Price



This menu costs 30K IDR, equivalent to 2.10 USD or 2.xx HIVE. If you order online, the price is a little more expensive, not including shipping cost.

Since the restaurant is located near my house and only a 5 minutes walk, I walked there and picked up my laundry while walking back home.



Thanks for dropping by. And thanks a lot for the support. Have a nice day!
