Brilio.net - Brilio friends, when eating at a food stall or restaurant , have you ever noticed the plates or bowls? Usually, if the food stall/restaurant has a concept, the cutlery also follows the concept, both in terms of pattern and color. But if there is no particular concept, usually the bowls or plates are plain white.
Well, there is something interesting from the experience of a netizen on TikTok whose video went viral, to the point of being re-uploaded to Instagram by another account. The netizen who also has an Instagram account @lynaa.lin had time to comment on the re-upload of her TikTok video on Instagram.

"If you don't finish your meal, you'll be really embarrassed because people are watching," wrote the account astriyolandaa.
Brilio friends, what if you experience the same moment as the Instagram owner @lynaa?
For your information, Soto Ayam Ambengan is a famous soto in Surabaya. A netizen also explained the truth.
The owner of the account drg.nilamkumala wrote in the comments column, "This is the most phenomenal chicken soto in Surabaya since I was in elementary school. From an affordable price at a roadside stall to changing into a restaurant with aristocratic prices. But it does mean that delicious but I don't know now."
After the brilio.net team investigated, Mr. Sadi, who died on February 11, 2024, in a hospital in South Jakarta, was indeed a legendary soto entrepreneur. His business has been pioneering the chicken soto business since 1971. He is known as a pioneer of chicken soto sellers on Jalan Ambengan, Surabaya. Because it is so famous for its deliciousness, Mr. Sadi's soto ambengan has become a regular for officials and artists such as the 6th President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the band GIGI. It is known that the chicken soto business in Surabaya is managed by his son. Soto Ayam Ambengan is also known to have an outlet in Wolter Monginsidi, South Jakarta.
FAQ About Ambengan Chicken SotoThe main difference and characteristic of Soto Ayam Ambengan is the use of koya. Koya is a savory powder made from shrimp crackers that are mashed with fried garlic. This sprinkling of koya gives a slightly thick texture and a much more savory taste to the thick yellow soto broth.
In general, a bowl of Soto Ambengan contains shredded chicken (usually free-range chicken), vermicelli, sliced boiled eggs, and sprinkled with celery leaves and fried onions. All of these components are then doused with a rich spiced chicken broth and sprinkled with koya on top.
The name "Ambengan" comes from the name of a street in Surabaya, namely Jalan Ambengan. It was on this street that the culinary soto ayam with the characteristic of koya was first popularized and became very famous. Many legendary sellers started their businesses in this area, so the name of the street is attached to the type of soto.
Soto Ambengan is usually served hot with white rice that can be mixed directly or served separately. For the best experience, soto is enjoyed with additional lime juice for freshness, chili sauce for a spicy taste, and side dishes such as offal satay (intestines, liver, gizzards), potato croquettes, or crackers.
