There is a culinary trend in Bandung that restaurants serve their food in unusually large portions. This is basically a gimmick to grab the attention of potential new customers. It tastes the same than the normal portion and it is not supposed to be eaten just by one consumer.
The easiest way to make a big portion serving is by filling up a big plate. Otherwise, the restaurant makes the foods bigger. These foods are supposed to be eaten together with friends or family. Here are some restaurants that serve big portions in Bandung.
Sonoma Resto
Sonoma Resto offers western fast food like hamburger, pizza, steak, and hot dogs in huge size. You probably can’t get all the buns and fillings in one bite of this monster black burger. There is also an oversized Superhero hot dogs, steaks with rich gravy and melted parmesan cheese. And then there is a pizza slice so big that it often serves as a birthday cake.
Bakso Astaghfirullah
Bakso is a Chinese-influenced local meatball, made from beef. Normally, the ball in many bakso stalls has a diameter of maximum five to seven centimeters. However, in Bakso Astaghfirullah, you can get a meatball of 15 centimeters in diameter.
