We start our day with curry noodles at the institution that is Tabona. We eat the kari bihun or curry vermicelli noodle soup with a mix of both chicken and beef. The coconut based curry soup is rich and spicy, the meat flavoursome and the pickled shallots on the side add a vinegary twang cutting through the richness of the soup. This is a must eat in Medan!

Next up we eat rujak, a popular snack in Indonesia. A fruit salad coated in a thick sweet and spicy sauce made from pounding shrimp paste, young banana, chillies and palm sugar the resulting dish is full of texture and contrasting flavours.

Next on the list is ikan bakar or grilled seafood. We head to a popular local spot to eat gurame a freshwater fish smothered in a spice paste, mackerel, rice and urap a coconut and vegetable salad. The fish is grilled over charcoal right on the road and the eatery is simple but filled with people enjoying a seafood lunch. The gurame is perfectly cooked- the flesh tender and sweet. Perfection!

We finish our day of food hunting at one of the oldest restaurants in Indonesia- Tip Top. A bakery/cafe/restaurant/ice cream parlour, Tip Top has been around since 1934. The eatery is nostalgic and kitschy as is the menu. We eat their famous ice cream sandwich the Moorkop and the Pukler- a slice of Neapolitan ice cream. We’re suckers for restaurants with a bit of history. A great ending to a brilliant day of eating in Medan, Indonesia!
