Hi, I am Arveno from Surabaya city. In this content i want to share about eating out at Shao Kao restaurant. This place is kinda memorable between me and my wife. We are used to eat here before getting married. And we are eating here one or twice monthly. But, since we are married and after married we are living in other side of this town. We are very rare eating in Shao Kao again. And then after our son born. We are living in Malang city at first until our son 6 months old. And when we have chance going back to Surabaya city the Covid happened and we need to go back to Malang city again. And yeah thats very difficult situation back then. And after covid subsided then we are decided to go back to Surabaya city and kinda start new life again. And we are closer to Shao Kao restaurant right now.
Actually it is not the first time i ever back eating here. We are several times eating there. But, i think i never making content about this place since usually when we decided eating here we are really starving and I didn't think about making content about this place. So, i dont turn on my phone, just enjoying time with my little family and then eating, after full we are going home. But, it different about this day. We are eating here because i want it. I miss eating some kind of barbecue and since i am kinda afraid eating burn food due the carsinogenic that can make cancer so i just limit eating this kind of food once or twice in a month.
This place is really huge. And this place when at lunch time, its more quiet than when dinner since actually this place is like bar in this city. This place is for drinking beer and hanging out and eating BBQ satay for side dish not full meal dish. But, since me and my wife used to eating like main dish so, we are eating when lunch.
I dont know that right now the price of the beer is very expensive for one bottle. I think it is almost 3$ each bottle. The last time i drink beer when i was in Highschool Probably almost 20 years ago. And it cost just below 1$ at that time. The inflation is real. So, after we got place to sit and eat, then we need to pick what we want to eat first. There are so many choice from vegetables,meat,chicken,meatball,mushroom, pork, lard, and many more.
As you can see, you can pick whatever you want. FYI this is still raw after picking up then the server will bring to cook and the they grilled it while giving spice that we wanted. There are 2 spice choice that is BBQ, Salty. My wife always pick BBQ and me always pick Salty.
After we pick up and give to the server then we are ordering the drink. This day we are all ordered ice tea. And this tea is too sweet for me, I forgot to tell that need to reduce the sugar contain.
After a while our food arrived. We are usually ordere 3 bowl of rice and some meatballs, 3 bacons,1 eggplant, and 1 fish tofu
Right now the satay is not too much. Back then i can eating 5 skewer Bacon for myself and adding 3 or 4 more meatball. But, i dont know after reaching 30 i cannot eating that much. I think i still can but i dont want to. It will makes my stomach feel uneasy.
And my son said that he loves eating here too. But, i already said that this kind of food is dangerous if we are eating everyday. Look the dark side the burn one. That is dangerous for our colon. But, i think if we are eating once or twice in a month it still okay.
After we are full then we are decided to go home. But, before it, my son want to be pictured. He is narcist right now. I dont realized since when he can be so narcist. But, overal this restaurant place is really cool, the vibes also enjoyable. And the food is the best for me. If i am not afraid to cancer maybe i can eat in here everyday.LOL. The taste of grilled bacon is really something.
