Have a duty and keep adventure to find traditional treasure culinary, it will be my always passion. Feels like heaven when we found something valueable. Visit Lampung, we heard not much about origin culinary point it here. Mostly people will say about the famous Pempek (fish Ball sour souce), Bakso Sony (Meet Ball Soup) and RM Padang (Typical West Sumatera Food) around Lampung city. But a my generous driver show me another traditional food come from Palembang called Pindang Ikan Patin (catfish) and Pepes Ikan Baung masak Tempoyak. I get excited to try it, and when I arrive to very simple restaurant, my table served with this, fresh vegetable on plate with 3 kinds of hot condiment : sambal mangga (manggo shaved and mix with crushed red-hot pepper), sambal nanas (samekind with sambal mangga but used pineapple) and Sambal terasi (chili shrimp paste). We can see sliced of cucumber there, some of basil leave, curly lettuce, green eggplant, Temu Mangga (kind of ginger but taste like manggo, Jengkol and friends (I didn't eat jengkol and friends, for me smell not good). I mix same leaves with sambal mangga, just like we mix salad and taste incredible fresh, very good for refreshing our mouth after eat fish. Sambal nanas taste more light than sambal mangga, but sambak terasi have a very strong shrimp paste, you can try a little for taste it.
In a blue print plate, we can see Pindang Ikan Patin. The souce very aqueous, coloured clear brown and the fish looks fresh, clean and shinny skin, sprinkle with slice of leaks and fried onion. Smell fresh, and when I taste it, ... wwoooowww sooo fresh, not too sweet, not too sour, a splash taste from dried red chilli ... taste so good, so delicious. Fish meet so tender and not taste fishy. I love it.
Another dish you should try is Pepes Ikan Baung, (this fish family of catfish), with a lot paste cover a slice of fish. The paste make from red chili, tomatoes, some dry ingredient, onion, barlic and special fermentation Durian's Meat. Its cooked with steam method after it's wrap with banana leave first. Its taste so delicious and match while eat with warm steam rice. You will not stop eating until its gone.
when you're not enough with 2 kinds of fish, you can ask Fried Udang dan Ikan Saluang (River Shrimp and small fish). The shrimp have a tender meat, taste sweet, and the small fish taste savory, crispy. And you not worry to take this much, cause this all lives in river not come from sea. More low colesterol.
