The most hunted here is Chicken Pop. But there is one menu that maybe not many people know and is worth trying, Nasi Goreng Minang. So authentic!

4. Medan Baru
This Padang restaurant in Jakarta is famous for its Gulai Kepala Ikan Kakap. The thick gulai's texture is really special. Combined with thick snapper meat, it makes a perfect match. The fishy smell from the fish's head didn't smell at all. The curry sauce is also different, the color is rather reddish yellow, not yellow like we know so far. Worth a try! Aside Gulai Kepala Ikan Kakap, Burung Punai Goreng is equally delicious.

5. Garuda
The Padang restaurant from Medan is also legendary, because it has been around since 1976 and currently has spread its wings to Singapore. Many awards have also been achieved by Garuda Restaurant. Even this restaurant has been named the best restaurant in Asia ranked 79th version of The Daily Meal in 2011.
Here you can taste all kinds of menus on the table. But be careful and the bill swells, because almost all dishes are delicious. But still Ayam Pop is the most liked menu. The chicken texture is tender and the marinade permeates perfectly to the inside.
