AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Mark Wiens calls Soto Ambengan Pak Sadi’s soto ayam a warm, soulful bowl, praising its rich, comforting broth as the clear standout. The overall vibe is one of humble, deeply satisfying home-style cooking that leaves you craving another spoonful.
“This soto ayam is so soothing and chickeny. The broth is thick and yellow from turmeric, with lots of Javanese herbs and spices. It's really rich and umami, with fried shallots, coriander, and turmeric. I love the texture from the shrimp crackers — they give it a crunch. The ovary eggs are so creamy and yolky, like condensed chicken flavor. With a squeeze of lime juice and some sambal, it's both rich and refreshing. You can eat it as a soup or with rice. It's comfort food that has withstood the test of time.”
