The Devil's Meatball that Burns the Tongue: Food |

The names of various types of food today sound unique, funny, beautiful, sometimes even scary. People deliberately give this name to attract people's attention so that the food sounds distinctive.

But just beautiful and different will not attract much attention. Maybe for the first time, people will be interested in trying it. When the taste of the food is ordinary, not unique, not as beautiful as its name, it will soon be forgotten.

Maybe that is also a consideration for the owner of Bakso Triyuli on Jalan Pabrik Asean, Krueng Geukueh, Aceh Utara, Indonesia. They just sell a unique name, but also a taste of the food that will call customers back. In fact, they also have shortcomings in other areas that customers consider not to return.

The name chosen is not just weird to make it different from others. But each name represents its taste. Call it the devil (setan in Bahasa) meatball or "bakso" mercon (firecracker in English). Named devil meatball because its spiciness makes people crazy. For people who don't like spicy food, this type of meatball is not recommended.

A number of customers I met, mentioned the spiciness of this devil meatball that fits perfectly on the tongue. Even though it made the tongue burn due to its spiciness, coupled with the heat of the meatball soup (the weather in Krueng Geukueh is also hot if you want to add it), the customers felt it was right. When the hot and spicy flavors combine, they are sprinkled with the available cold drinks.

In addition to devil meatballs, for those who don't like spicy food, don't ever order fireworks. As the name implies, the taste of this meatball makes visitors surprised with an explosion of unimaginable taste, just like the sound of a firecracker that makes a surprise.

Mercon meatballs can be tricky because they don't taste hot at first. But when it goes inside, it will taste spicy and often people are not ready to taste the spicy taste that comes immediately.

For lovers of spicy food, this is a pleasant surprise.

TriYuli seems to be specialized in providing jumbo size meatballs. One of them is lava meatball which is cooked with special spices and served in a wooden container like serving a steak. Smoke rose from meatballs the size of a small melon. The contents, don't be surprised, are small meatballs that can be eaten together.

There are many other types of meatballs in Tri Yuli, such as cheese meatballs and rib rib meatballs. Cheese-flavored meatballs give a different sensation from ordinary meatballs. Likewise with the rib meatballs.

The various types of meatballs with different flavors make us want to taste them all. Customers need not feel ashamed to ask for more, because Tri Yuli's motto of meatballs is just that; "Don't be ashamed to ask for more" written in Acehnese.

So, what are the drawbacks? Apart from being an unrepresentative place, the location is also very unpleasant because it is right near a drainage channel which gives off an unpleasant aroma. Another drawback is the narrow parking space, especially on holidays or weekends. []
