'Lontong Sedap di Parit Raja, Johor'
“This week, I will bring
you to eating place of the most unique and special
Lontong in Johor, famous
and it is the....”
Lontong
by Lontong Warisan Haji Sali.
Lontong becomes a Johorian favorite breakfast and it can
also be computed concurrently as lunch if you are lazy to cook other meal. It
is a comment dish among Johor people and can be found easily in the restaurant
or stall around us.
In Johor and Singapore (maybe also in some regions in Indonesia), the main item is rice cooked in banana leaves shaped like a cylinder and boiled for a few hours until it becomes compact in the mold. And then eaten with gravy coconut soup called ‘lodeh’ as a complement. It becomes much more popular during ‘Eid Hari Raya days and the mold is made from coconut leaf.

The other day my friend told me that in Singapore, they
serve ‘lontong’ with ‘begedil’ (fried mash potato usually serve with ‘soto
soup’) as one of the complementary materials other than boiled eggs, meat floss
and stir-fry sauce or peanut sauce. Another thing is there different kind of
version to cook ‘lode’ (coconut soup), there is ordinary simple style of
cooking and also pan-fried the ingredient before the coconut milk (much better
taste and delicious). For an extra taste, use live shrimp or dried shrimp in
the pan-fried and will bring out a very nice aroma that can growth appetite.
The recipe was simple and everyone can try it. You can find it a lot of lontong
recipe in the web.
For those who are nearby Parit Raja (Batu Pahat), there
you can find a restaurant that serves the original recipe of ‘lontong’. The
restaurant is easy to find because it is located near the main road (Kluang to
Batu Pahat road) on your left side if you are travelling from Kluang. You will
see ‘Medan Niaga Parit Raja’ building in front of Shell Petrol Pump Station (on
the right). I present it to you ‘Lontong Warisan Haji Salim’.
What is special about this dish is the taste that is so
original with all ingredient inside. Furthermore, you can choose a various type
of side dish to mix/add with the ‘lontong’ make it so delicious. The side dish
you can choose such as ‘sambal paru-paru’ (spicy lung condiment), ‘sambal
udang’ (spicy shrimp condiment), ‘sambal sotong’ (spicy squid condiment) and
more.
