Have you ever tried food that feels like your grandma made it? I felt that in this place. Somehow, it became trend in Indonesia. Many restaurants made it as homey as they can for customers. For example, customers can see the kitchen or they made the restaurant in the house of the owner.

However, for me, taste is everything. When you can feel home when eat the food, that’s the ultimate homey food. Not because of the place or decoration, but from the food itself. And I taste it when ordered Pangsit Mi Ayam Limo Raya.

In fact, there are many great noodles in Surabaya. I am the biggest fans of Mie Mapan which was originated from Surabaya since 90s. Nowadays, Mie Mapan has established as one of the famous noodle restaurants at Surabaya. Mie Mapan has already become restaurant noodle, so it is pricey. I eat it when I have special occasion. I want to find a comfort noodle that I can eat everyday if I want.

Near my rented house, there was a little noodle staller. I hesitated to try because it looked unconvincing. But my husband believed it will good. One day, we wanted to eat noodle and cannot find a staller at gmaps. Then, my husband urged to try Limo Raya.

Ok, I think it deserved a try. We ordered four portions, three of mi ayam pangsit regular portion and one mi ayam pangsit bakso big portion. The seller were an old man and a woman. They cooked our noodle in front us and prepared the condiments. We wanted to bring at home, so it was take-away.

Actually, it needs longer time just for preparations. However, the smells were so good. At that time, I believed that it would be delicious. Finally, it finished.

When we tried it home, it is worthed to wait. The noodle was ok as I liked, not overcooked. I like when pangsit noodle has lettuces. It feels healthier and add the texture of crunchy. The topping of chicken was good.

Though, their specialty is pangsit or dumplings. Cheap dumpling usually only tastes flour, but Limo Raya has chicken and shrimp’s taste. So good and addicted. Overall tastes are light, clean, healthy, likes grandmother’s or aunt’s cooking. Feels familiar, homey, and healthy. Definitely come back sooner!
