Where was your weekend last?
With your family or friends, of course with someone special in your life.
Being a culinary lover makes me really like exploring various types of food that are unique in my opinion, and also have the best rating in a restaurant. Finding a wide variety of seafood is not difficult to do in the city of Banda Aceh, in fact, many types of food are sold here. Maybe because here is the city center of Aceh, so there are lots of new culinary varieties that I have never tried.
The restaurant this time was chosen and recommended by my best friend, Karibia Seafood, a restaurant with an open feel. It has a large area, a special room for VIP guests, regular guests, a kitchen, and even a large parking area. But I couldn't take pictures of all areas because on that day I visited a lot of visitors, so the space to access all areas was very limited. Moreover, the kitchen area is also strictly prohibited to enter.
Now the food that is sold here is made from seafood, such as sea fish, shellfish, shrimp and even squid and crab, but apart from that there are also other variants such as various types of vegetables and also chicken. Here I ordered several types of dishes which were enough for 3 people including 1 portion of sweet and sour shrimp, green chili chicken, crab corn soup and also don't forget 3 portions of white rice.
Sweet Sour Shrimp
Sweet and sour prawns are prawns that are fried in flour and then mixed with sweet and sour sauce. I think this dish is very delicious, but there are some things that make me disappointed when eating this dish, one of them they add prawn heads in this dish, and it's in large quantities.
In my opinion this is not really in accordance with the price on offer. Now the price per portion of this dish is IDR.89,000, which is quite fantastic for the price offered, but the advantages of this dish are the taste of the sweet and sour sauce is very good, the spices taste good and blend perfectly. Therefore, the lack of portion is covered by the taste served.
Green Chilli Chicken
Green chili sauce is a chili sauce that many people like where I live, including myself. This chili sauce is made from chilies and green tomatoes with a blend of other spices that are appetizing. The savory and spicy green chili sauce is really appetizing.
And I admit this is my favorite in this restaurant, the chicken is tender, perfectly cooked I think they marinate the chicken with special spices so that the aroma and taste of the chicken is evenly distributed and blends perfectly. For the price per portion containing 8 pieces of fried chicken, it is around IDR. IDR.76,000. This is very commensurate with the price, taste and portion sizes are perfect in the bag.
Crab Corn Soup Cream
Crab corn soup has a thick texture, for you cream soup lovers I think this is the right choice for you. What I like about this crab corn soup is that the aroma is very fragrant, the combination of corn and crab is just right on the tongue. I really like this, apart from not being fishy from the egg the soup has a very different taste from any cream of corn soup I have ever enjoyed. Maybe because it is combined with crab so that the natural flavors of corn and crab blend perfectly.
The price per bowl of this soup is very appropriate per serving of 30,000. I think it's very worth the price offered for a bowl of super delicious and creamy soup.
Apart from the three above, I also ordered mineral water and also 3 servings of rice, this is a delicious dish to enjoy iftar with my best friend. For the total of all the menus that we spend at this restaurant, it reaches IDR. 234,000 or equivalent to 15.67USD. Very suitable right? Spent a lot of food for 3 people only spent so much. So for those of you who visit this place I highly recommend this seafood restaurant. The food is very good, although the portions are sometimes not what you expect. But don't get me wrong, sometimes in a dish they sell a distinctive taste that is different from the others. Here's the complete address if you want to visit.

Viral Drink
Apart from enjoying the special dishes from this restaurant, we also wanted to try a drink that was viral recently in the city of Banda Aceh. well, the famous Bang Khan drink with various flavors of Thai drinks with cream and abundant toppings. We found this drink when visiting this restaurant and very coincidentally this drink is right in front of the Caribbean Seafood restaurant, making it easier for us to try it.
My friends and I bought 4 variants of drinks including Thai strowberry, Thai mango, Thai dragon fruits and durian juice. As for the topping we chose, namely fruit and cheese. yes it is the most favorite there. for the price, one large cup of strawberry costs IDR.20,000 while the small ones for mango and dragon fruits are IDR.15,000. And also for the durian juice alone for IDR.15,000.
It's a really good drink, and it's my first time trying everything, except mango thai. I highly recommend for you lovers of fresh fruit drinks like smoothies.
So friends, if you visit Aceh, don't forget to enjoy a variety of extraordinary culinary delights. Certainly will not disappoint you at all.
