Taste****
There is a saying: judge the padang by its rendang. And for the most part it has its own trueness. So, I googling, like most of us doing in this day and age, and found that rendang in surya is rendang darek. Rendang darek, fyi, is rendang with blackened curry, because it has junten, pepper, chilli, and its hotness is more moderate than rendang pesisir, with redder curry, and more chili, i guess. So back to the resto food, its rendang is very moderate, there is lack of spiciness, and for me lack of savoury also. The good thing about the rendang is the meat is very tender. I'm also have fried paru or fried cow ling, it is very crispy, but again the level of savory is still under my tastebud level. For comparison, The rendang from bopet mini that located near the area i think more tasty.
Coziness****
This resto is one of the legendary padang resto in town. They first served their dished in 1960, so it has traditional padang resto outlook. I came in the morning, and i dont see any air conditioner, I imagined it will be a bit hot in the afternoon.
Price****
Rendang and paru with rice, and i got charge 52k, a bit much maybe for a padang resto, but for its taste and nostalgia, i think price tag will always be the last to be considered.
