As a country with very low meat consumption, there's actually a reason why. Beef is very expensive here. In fact, beef consumption can increase due to the Eid Adha, which allow everyone in Indonesia to eat meat beef. What causes beef price in Indonesia to be so high?
If I can analyze it, beef prices are so high because there are so few beef farmers in Indonesia. Due to a lack of knowledge and education about beef farming, many people hesitate to do so. Therefore, many avoid it, and there's also a lack of government involvement here.
Furthermore, low incomes also make eating beef a luxury. If you go to a restaurant, beef isn't an option. Of course, it's expensive.
However, that wasn't the case today. I was very fortunate to discover a beef steak restaurant in this city that offers affordable and underpriced steaks. I was pleasantly surprised to find that dining here was truly enjoyable.
This Saturday night, I took my wife to enjoy the beef we'd been craving for a month. You know, save for something can be so much fun. When we are saving up and reach the finish line, it's so exhilarating.
We ate at Asapin Restaurant, which was quite underrated. Why? Because it was my first time here, and seeing the restaurant so empty made me very sad. A place like this isn't well-known? Wow! I was even more curious.
We ordered steaks from the same menu, both done up. We chose sirloin and tenderloin, and the sirloin turned out to be more tender; I honestly couldn't tell the difference. The steak presented beautifully in look.
It was slice for easy to eat, but I still cut each piece further for easier chewing and digestion. There were vegetables and fries, and they were also perfectly done! I should have told my friends they should at least try this restaurant; their steaks are delicious!
We finished with a dessert I hadn't imagined. It was huge, enough for three people! We couldn't finish it because we were so full. Sweet toast topped with a crunchy chocolate spread, like crunchy flakes, and topped with vanilla ice cream.
Of course, a cup of coffee to finish. If I'd known there were so many desserts, I wouldn't have ordered another coffee. However, by the end of our meal, the restaurant was empty. What a shame! But I think I'd found a hidden gem.
