I tried the tongseng babi and satay buntel at Sate Babi Asli Tambaksegaran, and both were really satisfying. The meat was generous and not overly fatty, which I appreciated. The flavors leaned more toward sweet than spicy, so that’s worth knowing if you prefer a hotter kick. Service was quick too, even with the satay needing to be grilled.

The place was kinda small. The food was good. Well it was pork, so it’s supposed to be delicious 😆. A bit pricey relative to the food in restaurants that we tried while in Solo. The owner (I think) was kind enough to talk to us and gave us some directions. She knew we were tourists and told us places to buy gifts.

Nice satay. The meat is soft and tender. All of our order is sweet.

One of quite famous goat satay house in Surakarta or known as Solo city. I came here based on its review which has like 1,7K something.. The place sits right in the middle of the city, using Google maps will be easy to find. The shop is just like any other satay house around the town. Beside this place is the other satay house which mainly served pork. I ordered 1 portion of Satay Buntel (minced satay) consist of 2 pcs, 1 portion of tongseng daging (meat in sweet coconut gravy), rice and orange juice. It cost me around idr150K 😅.. well, the portion of the satay was quite big enough, and the tongseng it self was like for 2 people. Well, I believe I ate for 2 persons thou.. So, kinda like another experience for having satay in Solo. How was it tasted? Sweet! Yes, all was sweet. That's it. I prefer to have Satay/Sate Solo in Jakarta which much more moderate for people who don't into sweet, and for sure for the cheaper price rather in here I believe.. 😅 But I can't deny that they have a pretty tender meat for their satay buntel, particularly for me who loves satay without their fatty part.

For lamb lovers, this place is a delight. We ordered a few dishes such as lamb satay and tongseng (a curry-like soup). Every dish is delicious. However, the waiting time was a bit long and the place was quite stuffy.
