Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

my list of 50 of the best Indonesian Foods: Bubur ayam is a very common Indonesian street food dish that you will find all over Jakarta. It is the Indonesian version of rice congee porridge, and one of the most common versions is served with chicken. In this video I went to a restaurant called Bubur Ayam Barito, which is located in South Jakarta, and it's a legendary restaurant when it comes to serving bubur ayam. It was a really rainy day, it rained the entire day, and even when I thought the rain was starting to clear, it still rained the entire time we walked over to the restaurant. So I thought it was the perfect day to eat rice congee, because it's such a comforting and warming dish - and even though it wasn't cold outside, it was a little bit cooler than a normal day when the sun was shining. We arrived to Bubur Ayam Barito in the evening, well before the main dinner rush, and they were already packed with hungry customers. But just as we are arrived they were setting up for dinner and so they set up a tent on the side of the sidewalk so that we could get a seat. When you go to Bubur Ayam Barito, they prepare all of the bubur ayam to the left hand side where the kitchen is located. And if you're lucky you can get a seat right there where they are cooking, otherwise there's a huge overflow section underneath the tarp where there're plenty of tables and places to sit. In order to make the bubur ayam, the rice congee porridge was already prepared. And so he took a spoon and he dished out a portion, and just from looking at him dish it out I could tell how sticky and thick it was. This is not just an ordinary bowl of rice congee, it was topped with a bunch of different items including some sliced shredded chicken, and also put an egg in it, and also with some crunchy things. I also saw a lot of people are eating at Bubur Ayam Barito, and they ordered a couple skewers of chicken innards, which appeared to be deep-fried and on a stick, and so I had to follow. The bubur ayam, was overall very good, and it was definitely a deluxe bowl of rice congee. However, rice congee is still not my favorite thing to eat, as I usually prefer dishes that are a little bit more spicy and flavorful. But that being said this was a pretty good bowl of rice congee and it definitely tasted good because it was a rainy day as well. Bubur Ayam Barito Address: Jalan Gandaria Tengah 3, Kramat Pela, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Open hours: 4 pm 12 am midnight daily Prices: 42, 000 IDR (3. 13) for 2 bowls, 2 skewers of organs

Only the egg yolk looked attractive. The best congee or cheuk I have eaten is the stall in the Amoy St Food Centre in Singapore A bowl costs only S3. 00 it comes with rice porridge of similar texture to that eaten by Mark mixed with lots of minced pork balls, sliced lean pork and sprinkled with bits of cut deep fried wheat flour dough known as you Tiago in Mandarin Chinese or Yu Char Kway in Hokkien or Fujian Dialect. There's no practice mixing in chilly sauce or sweet black sauce or ketchup manis in Indonesian.

We went to a cart near the old market for Buber Ayam in 2008 when we visited. It was the best I've had. It was only open for breakfast though, by noon it was closed until the next day. Yeah, I've had congee in DC at a couple of restaurants and it's not the same. The best Buber Ayam is made in the water used to boil a whole chicken that is later fried for toppings.

FYI, its not best porridge in Indonesia. for my own version, i reccomend you try Bun Ong in Kelapa Gading. it has chinese roasted duck, chinese roasted pork / siobak, charsiew pork, etc. the porridge itself is awesome that you wont regret. markwiens

I would like to make a suggestion normally when you eat food like congee or noodles even salads you don't stir rather you just move your spoon and and eat what's on top to get the most out of the it has to be mixed before you start eating
