We start the day with mie balap or “racing noodles’, so named because people pick up a plate on their way to work whilst they’re in a rush so they need to be cooked super fast. Made up of wok fried flat rice noodles, egg and sprouts the dish looks like a gluggy mess but the proof is in the taste- it bursts with flavour and retains a smokiness from the wok.
Our next stop is for a popular drink in Medan- an avocado shake- smashed avocado, chocolate syrup and evaporated milk combines to make a thick, creamy sweet confection.
We then head for a feast of tribal food- BPK or Babi Panggang Karo- a dish of the Karo people made up of grilled pork, blood sausage, fried pork accompanied by a blood sauce and spicy sambal. Unique and startlingly spicy- this is one meal you have to eat in Medan.
Medan has a growing coffee culture and we sample the local coffee at our final stop- a cafe called 38 Coffee Lab owned by Jaya Pranata- runner up in the 2017 Aeropress championships.

Mie balap “Racing Noodles” at Mie Balap Krakatau, Jl. Gunung Krakatau, Glugur Darat I, Medan Tim., Kota Medan, Sumatera Utara 20236. Open daily 7:00am to 11:30am.
