Iga - Iga Bakso (Meatballs Ribs) is one of the many restaurant in Medan City. Iga - Iga Bakso is a local business restaurants that has many branches. Their main menu (as they mention on their name) is Iga - Iga Bakso (Meatballs Ribs).

In this opportunity, I ordered 4 menus from their list :
- Iga - Iga Bakso (Meatballs Ribs)
- Gurami goreng + Nasi (Tilapia Fried Fish + Rice)
- Ayam penyet + Nasi (Chicken Penyet + Rice), and
- Iga - Iga Penyet (Ribs Penyet).

- Iga - Iga Bakso (Meatballs Ribs0

  the vermicelli noodle so soft, the aroma is smells good, the ribs is quite nice, overall is Good only.

  Iga - Iga Bakso must be eat and finished while it was hot unless the soup is oily and hard to eat. This

  menu is recommended.

- Gurami goreng + Nasi (Tilapia Fried Fish + Rice)

  Fish's skin had the smell of dirt (maybe because Tilapia Fish bred in pond), texture is Good, the

  condiment is so tasty, and the taste is quite awful. Overall... this menu is not so recommended.

- Ayam penyet + Nasi (Chicken Penyet + Rice)

  Penyet mean smashed, this cuisine is from East Java, fried chicken smashed with mortal and served

  with condiment. Texture is So Good, the condiment is so tasty, the smell is Good, and the taste is

  Delicious. Overall... this menu is recommended.

- Iga - Iga Penyet (Ribs Penyet)

  Almost the same with Ayam Penyet, the Beef Ribs are smashed and served with condiment. Texture

  is Good, the smells is nice also, the taste is Tasty and Delicious, and this is one of my favorite menu.

  This menu is not served with Rice, overall... this menu is recommended

Visiting here from the center of city (City Hall / Merdeka Walk) takes around 35 - 45 minutes or one hour if there's traffic. After you sit and order, the food will be served within 10-15 minutes (in my visit, there's not much visitor). The Waiters are polite yet they are lazy (sitting and chatting around while there's customer asking for something, they are passing the responsibility to other - maybe their junior/rookie).

Overall, I'm still recommend you to visit this restaurant.

Hope you enjoy my article, cya on next article...
