amazing timlo solo | Camera Sony alpha NEX-7
Traveljunkieindonesia.com – Last week, I was invited to lunch at Warung Makan Timlo Sasro 2, a traditional Javanese restaurant in Solo.
Timlo is a famous soup in Solo. Timlo is special dish contains of chicken meat chopped into pieces, cooked egg and chicken’s liver in clear soup. Served to accompany fried onion topping rice. Unlike the typical Timlo in other local town, Timlo Solo is served without mushroom and thin noodles.
This is my ABSOLUTE favourite. Timlo sastro becomes one of the most wanted local food when someone travels to Solo. One bowl is never enough. Ahhhh DELICIOUS!!!
