If we talked about Nasi Ayam, well .. a lot of Nasi Ayam sellers in Semarang. The origin of Nasi Ayam was from Klaten, but it became popular in Semarang. And sometimes people said is the same as Nasi Liwet from Solo, but it's different. There were no small restaurants or warung in the sidewalk of the street, only a lady or simbok wandering around with bakul (wakul, like big wicker basket and covered with banana leaf to put rice) and shouting "Sego Ayaaaaammmmmm …". If we want to buy it, we just called her to stop at our house and we order it. Now that i remembered it .. it seems really nice … Eat in front of the house .. Sit on the floor .. good old time. The price of a pincuk (a portion) was used to be Rp 50,- and nowadays is around Rp 7000,- … rice, shredded chicken, tofu bacem, rambak, half egg, pour it with kuah santan and put santan kental a little.

If I'm not mistaken .. around 1989 .. there was a very famous Nasi Ayam called Karangkojo (the name of an alley), the taste a little bit modified into sweet taste and people loved it. People queued just to buy nasi ayam, in a packed small alley. And the others started to follow the pionneer.. they opened a lot of warungs of nasi ayam spread all over Semarang city. But there were some old fashioned sellers who still wandering around just like the old way. But I think there are no more Nasi Ayam sellers who wandering around anymore.

As I mentioned before, there are a lot of nasi ayam sellers in Semarang, and all of them have different tastes. Some of them are not good too, so be carefull. Nasi Ayam Bu Pini is one of the best seller in Semarang, the taste is good … in the middle of the sweet and original taste .. quite clean .. and warmhearted. The only downside is its already become a small restaurant since Indomaret buy the building where Bu Pini used to have her warung in front of it. So we can't feel the traditional anymore, but if it just for eating .. than it's the best.

How to Order
The standard of a portion is as I mentioned above, but usually I order differently. What I usually ordered is rice, one whole egg, shredded chicken, kuah santan, and santan kental.. thats it .. oh.. sometimes I asked for a spoon of spicy kuah (soup) just for fun factor, and it cost Rp 8000,-. So adding half egg will cost you Rp 1000,- more.  People said that my order is like an Opor .. nnnnnnnot the same .. but maybe similar looks .. but different taste
