IS around 25 kilometer from Buahbatu toll gate, Bandung, RM Riung Pre-order check-in is required when visiting the Range, West Java. Sundanese cuisine there is really delicious. No wonder if the shelters at RM Riung Panyaungan are always full, both on weekdays and weekends.
In connection with visiting there with the owner of the restaurant, Yuli Kamelia, friends and I don't need to queue. He has reserved a place for us, school friends when in junior high school. We were invited to celebrate the wedding day of Yuli and her husband.
Riung Panyaungan is open from 7 morning to 9 night. I was picked up by Yuli at the Buahbatu toll gate before lunch. The hope, we will get there right at lunch. During the trip, what is in my mind is just how good it is to eat warm rice with fresh vegetables in saung while crossing it.
Travel from Buahbatu toll gate to the nearby restaurant 45 minute. We got stuck in a traffic jam. However, for going in a crowd, traffic jams are not a problem because me and friends are busy chattering.
I arrived before noon 12 noon. Yuli chose a hut located in the innermost part of the restaurant. To go to Saung, I have to go through crocodile cages and fish ponds. As told by Yuli, used to be gurame fish served to resto visitors taken from the pond. But now, they take from suppliers.
After going through a crocodile cage and fish pond, we arrived at the gazebo. The rural atmosphere is getting thicker because the restaurant is surrounded by rice fields. Riung Panyaungan's main menu includes lead rice, liwet rice, nasi tutug oncom, various processed chicken, duck and fish, oseng dorokdok, sup iga, satay, curry, sambal lalap and various vegetable menus. Yuli ordered grilled carp, oseng dorokdok, Roast chicken, stir-fried water spinach and sambal lalap.
While waiting for the food to arrive, I cast my eyes to the area next to the gazebo. There was a waitress preparing a buffet meal. Without me asking, Yuli told me that soon there will be a group of Mbak Tutut, daughter of the former President of the Republic of Indonesia, come. According to him, Pak Suharto's family has long been a customer of a restaurant that stood for years 1997 that.
Gurame is the Champion
After telling a story, the dishes that Yuli ordered came. As a fan of fish, I chose to eat grilled carp first. For a while, I immediately fell in love with grilled carp there.
The fish is really fresh and doesn't smell fishy at all. The fish meat is also sweet. The color is white, without the presence of blood clots. This restaurant is good at processing fish.
Menurut Yuli, initially Riung Panyaungan supplied carp from its own pond. However, they now take it from other suppliers.
His sudden sambal is also solid. Spicy, not too sweet, and lime scent. My friends and I ate all the dishes until they were finished and a little stuffed.
After eating, Yuli invited us around. On the other side of the restaurant area 1 the hectare has an Instagrammable spot. We also took the photos there. Satisfied with the photos, we walked towards the front of the restaurant.
Before returning to the city of Bandung, my friends and I ordered a delicious beef waddle and dorokdok. While waiting for the order to arrive, Yuli entertained us again. This time, he invites "coffee" in coffee shop in the front of the restaurant.
The lively and happy woman told the story again. He and his family created this coffee shop to facilitate one of the employees who is good at making coffee.
Right after finishing a glass of coffee, our order is finished. We immediately returned to the city of Bandung with Yuli escorted.
