Fat Belly Food Truck's Bulldog

This is one of the most expensive burger I have ever bought in my life, yet I did not regret spending every rupiah that I had on it. It was Fat Belly Food Truck's burger that I had last weekend. I had to order the dish with my Go-Jeg application because I still haven't got any permission from the institution to spend the weekend outside the barrack. It's a good thing that the food truck is only half an hour away as it is regularly peddles its' black-bun burgers at Lippo Karawaci.

I took the liberty to browse the menu on the Go-Jeg application the day before, just so that I can be sure on which dish I was going to have. After spending a few minutes contemplating, I finally decided that I was going to go for the Bulldog. It didn't cross my mind to check the internet on how the burger would look like, but, hey, I don't think some homemade black buns filled with caramelized onion, homemade beef patty, a couple of beef sausage, stripes of beef bacon, a soft fried sunny-side-up, melted cheese, and a glaze of the food truck's special secret sauce could go wrong. 

Boy, my decisions have never been this flawless in my whole entire life. My Bulldog was very beautiful, and it came with some scrumptious homemade french fries and a bottle of water. Despite the fact that the food was brought using a motorcycle, it was not the slightest bit messy. The burger and the whole filling was still intact.

The Bulldog was rather small for a 50K burger. But, it had all kinds of meat with cheese and a sunny-side-up, plus they also threw in some french fries, so it was a nice deal for me. 

I took a big bite of my Fat Belly's black bun burger and, I bullshit you not, I had an explosion of flavor in my mouth. The black bun was fluffy as hell. A bit soggy on the bottom from the sweet and delicious special secret sauce, but I'm not complaining. The combination of the three different meat - the beef bacon, sausage, and the beef patty - with the oozing yolk from the soft fried egg was orgasmic. I particularly love the sweet caramelized onion as it balances the other savory and salty element of the burger. And I don't usually have my burger with the fries, I usually finish one before the other, but combining both in every bite added the extra kick to the flavor burst. Everything just went well together. I couldn't be happier. 

Fellow cadets of STPI, you ought to try this burger once in your weekend. Just quickly open your Go-Jeg app, go to the Go-Food section, scroll down and click on the "Burgers, Sandwiches & Steak" option on the explore tab, search for Fat Belly Food Truck, and get yourself some Bulldogs. If you prefer other dishes that have less meat, you can always go for the Bomber - which I'm going to get sometime in the future if I haven't get out from this hell hole. 

Pig-a-Boo's Nasi Babi Crispy Sambal Matah

Hidup gue jadi lebih mudah semenjak gue menggunakan jasa Go-Food selama masa konsinyir. Buat kalian yang nggak tau konsinyir itu apa, konsinyir adalah sesuatu yang jauh jauh jauh lebih menakutkan dari film the Conjuring. It's a state when cadets don't have the permission to enjoy their weekend outside the institution. Pada intinya, gue dihukum nggak boleh pulang, atau kata orang tua gue di setrap.

Nah, selama masa konsinyir, gue terjebak dengan segala macam makanan yang ada di barak dan lingkungan barak, which are boring as hell. Makanannya itu itu aja. Not that I'm not grateful, don't get me wrong, tapi gue bosen. Minggu pertama konsinyir masih biasa-biasa aja karena ada kantin GSG yang menyediakan varian makanan yang menarik macam roti bakar, mie ayam bakso, nasi ayam penyet, nasi padang, dan nasi rames. Tapi, setelah minggu ke-15 dikurung begini, lama-lama muak juga. Akhirnya gue memutuskan untuk memakai layanan jasa Go-Food. 

Minggu lalu, gue memesan dua porsi makan siang dari Pig-a-Boo. Jelas aja dari namanya udah ada unsur haramnya untuk gue bagi dengan teman sebarak gue yang beragama muslim, jadi aja gue makan sendiri dalam sekali genjot. 

Nasi babi pertama yang gue lahap adalah Nasi Babi Rica Rica dengan potongan babi bumbu rica ricanya yang pedesnya kurang ajar dan tumpukan sayur daun pepaya yang pahit dan pedas. Gue biasanya anti menyantap potongan babi yang ada lemaknya, tapi kali ini gue santap habis saking enak dan gurihnya. 

Nasi babi yang kedua adalah Nasi Babi Crispy Sambal Matah dengan potongan babi panggang kriuk dan onggokan sambal matahnya yang kecut dan segar. Nah, ini kesukaan gue. Memang bintangnya adalah babi panggangnya yang gurih dengan slepetan kulitnya yang renyah dan asin, tapi sambal matahnya pun memegang peranan penting soal kombinasi rasa. Kalian harus tahu, sambal matahnya itu kecut dan segar banget, bawang merahnya yang cantik berhasil menarik perhatian gue, dan rasanya nggak terlalu pedas namun kuat. A definite must try. Bisa-bisa gue nambah tiga porsi sambal matahnya kalau makan di restorannya langsung. 

Kedua makanan ini patut diberikan acungan jempol, apalagi Nasi Babi Crispy Sambal Matahnya. Sayangnya, porsi babinya terlalu sedikit kalau menurut gue. Nasinya segunung, sayur daun pepayanya manusiawi, sambalnya lumayan banyak, tapi lauk babinya jomplang banget. But, all in all, I'm happy with Pig-a-Boo's meal selections.
