Rendang buatan ibu tetap nomor satu.
Soto ayam pagi-pagi, sarapan favorit.
Kok seblak gak ada? 😭
Pempek Palembang pakai cuko yang pedas manis, juara!
Gudeg Jogja enak banget tapi manis banget juga, harus sama sambal krecek.
Rendang nomor satu memang pantas, pernah dinobatkan makanan terenak di dunia sama CNN.
