Food Hunt on Hari Raya: Cong Sim Athek Mangga Besar

It's pretty difficult to find available eateries on Hari Raya, especially those outside malls. Me and my friend just didn't feel like going to malls to eat that day and decided to take a look around Mangga Besar area to satisfy our tummy. We intended to have Bakso Akiaw initially but apparently they were still in the holiday mood. Therefore, we headed to other opened stalls which are all Medan food and not halal. Well, eventually it's the best choice for Hari Raya holiday.





Having heard a lot of good reviews about Cong Sim Athek, we paid a visit there and ordered a bowl of bakmi pangsit for each of us. There is only one type of noodle served, a thin and smooth texture noodle almost hongkong-noodle-type like. We were kind of skeptical when we saw our noodle as both of us are not fond of thin and stiff noodle. But luckily, it's smooth and well seasoned.


They also very generous of giving quite satisfying toppings which consist of babi merah, minced meat and two dumplings (and lots of fried shallots!). The additional fried shallots is pleasing, adding more texture to savour. I admit, the price is not cheap, IDR 35k per bowl which is fair with such flavour and to not indulge too frequent. LOL!
