Spicy Challenge of Surabaya Culinary: Nasi Goreng Jancuk [Hotel Plaza Surabaya]




Do you like Spicy? Super Spicy? If the answer is yes, you should try Nasi Goreng Jancuk (Jancuk Fried Rice)! Located in Surabaya Plaza Hotel, this special menu contains riches of Indonesia spices, especially chili! It came in an extra large portion, definitely can't be finished by one person (I mean normal people). I came with 2 friends and we only can finish half of it. Another reason is because it is too spicy that our stomach can't contain it.

As you can see in the picture, the fried rice appearance of black color (javanese style) looks very tempting, mixed with salty fish and egg inside, cooked with Indonesian richness of spices and super hot chili, and surrounded by loads of crunchy cracker. What a combination of perfect fried rice! But above all, what makes the difference is the level of spiciness! I love spicy food, but this one absolutely too spicy, but after all, it tastes great! The dominant taste of chili made this fried rice remarkable.

The price of one portion Nasi Goreng Jancuk is Rp.50,000 ($5), plus service tax 21%, it will be Rp. 65,000 ($6.5), very reasonable price since it can feed 5-6 person. But the price of beverages quite high, one ice tea cost Rp. 20,000 ($2), and because of the high level of spiciness, you may need to drink more.

If you like to adventuring on culinary, and you love spicy, you should try this! Bring some of your friends to help you finish your meal and experience the sweat together.
