Street food Soto Ayam — the authentic version

The best Soto Ayam I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The complex from slow-cooked rendang intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. terasi shrimp paste was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

rendang from West Sumatra is consistently voted one of the world's most delicious dishes. The a Jakarta street food cart setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. jamu herbal drink was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
