7 Must Try Padang Merdeka Menu Of Jajanbeken Version
1. Ayam Goreng (IDR 19K)
This is special menu that I have tried, the ayam goreng was crisp with flavorful crumble. Even the chicken crisp but it was easily to pull from the bone. The dish become more special with peanut sambal as condiment.

2. Rendang Sapi (IDR 20K)
Rendang sapi at Padang Merdeka was totally awesome, I love the texture it was tender and easy to cut. The curry sauce was thick and flavorful, when you pairing this menu with steam rice it will be really appetizing.


3. Dendeng Batoko (IDR 20K)
Dendeng Batoko in Padang Merdeka really worth to try, both in sambal ijo or sambal merah selection are good enough to enjoy. The meat easy to cut and the sambal was not too spicy even though you can see a lot of chili on top!

4. Kikil Gulai (IDR 20K)

One of my favorite menu in Padang Merdeka is Sate Padang, Why? Because the peanut sauce was very smooth and savory. The smokiness from the meat make it more tasteful and enjoyable to eat.

6. Perkedel (IDR 12K)
This is Indonesian fried mashed potato like in common. But in Padang Merdeka it was distinct because the potato was very smooth and savory. I really like fried mashed potato that is presented here, because it’s very different with the other Padang restaurant I have ever visited.
