Jalan~Jalan Naik Motor

We went to Brantas River which is just 5 km away from home. It's the longest river in East Java....and it used to be my playground, too.

Afterwards....we had a light?? Dinner.

Soto Branggahan...as it's called in that area.

We had fun. Right, Eyra?

Soto Branggahan: 3rd Day of Ramadan

What would a visit to Kediri without having to sample the famous Soto Branggahan (Branggahan village's own chicken soup made of coconut milk). Anyway...that's what it is. 

There are a lot of vendors selling Soto Branggahan and since it's Ramadan...there were long queues since it's the breaking the fast time.  

People came from all ages ..irrespective of their social status...with one thing in common:  

Their love for Soto,

The seller was preparing Soto one person at a time. 

and we're waiting... 

As for side-dish, we could choose from so many available on the table: eggs, stir fried mashed potatoes, etc. 

Since there were no enough seat inside, some of us were sitting outside. 

haha...At first Seonhee kind of shocked to find chicken soup in coconut milk...but...to her own surprise..she ate more than one bowl... 

Dada....we did it. I mean..we had our 'buka puasa' at Soto Branggahan. 

Mengasikkan memang jika rame-rame. 

Group time....me, Seonhee, my sister, sister-in-law and...their kids or...my nephews and nieces.

Soto Branggahan (Agaiiiin)

 

Hmm...the one delicacies in Kediri not to be missed whenever we're back home is none other than Soto Branggahan. Yes..Soto..Branggahan. It's funny that I could savor this even though I do not eat meat. so, what about this chicken soup? yes..as for me..it's soto..but without chicken.^^

funny, eh? and I loooooveee the small sprouts that go with it. 

Mom, Lala, and his Dad, Ricky (my brother-in-law)...

My Dad was at the other corner of the section...as for me....

Soto Ayam TANPA ayam!!!

Soto Ayam without Ayam...^^

Chicken Soup without chicken....^^ well, that's a vegetarian-style *chicken* soup.

I love sprouts...and tempe, the fried soybean. Alhamdulillah...this Ramadan is both a bliss and a bless.^^

Thanks, Mama..for always making me something that I could savor....

tempe, perkedel jagung and the soup...what a combination.

Soto Ayam Branggahan @ Kediri

One of the must-eat dishes in Kediri is Soto Kediri, especially the one in Branggahan area...known for its locally and specially cooked soto--a soup or broth. anyway...

This is Pak Benno's stall: one of the so many famous soto stalls that dot the streets in Kediri. 

Freya and Lala also had their own portion. One bowl each.

The sprouts, the soup, the chilly, the sambal, the ingredients authentic of Kediri were all mixed into a unique combination of flavor that makes up ...Soto Branggahan. 

The green beverage on the picture is dawet. It's a jelly made of glutinous rice mixed with coconut milk and palm sugar. A refreshing dessert on a hot day.^^ 

See the simple stall? Yes, this is Pak Benno's famous Soto Ayam. The locals find this local dish a delicacy. 

My Mom, me and my Daddy. 

We were enjoying our portion of soto.
