Tempe Mendoan Purbalingga is a stall selling Purbalingga-style tempe mendoan (lightly battered, half-cooked fried tempeh) on Jalan Hangtuah, Pekanbaru (same row as Vanhollano Bakery, or next to Kolam Renang Aras). The seller used to work as a hotel housekeeper for 25 years!
Meet Pak Madi, originally from Klaten. This tempe mendoan recipe was passed down from Pak Madi's mother, who is from Purbalingga.
Pak Madi has been away from home since 1997. He worked for 5 years as a hotel housekeeper in Batam, Kepulauan Riau.
In 2022, Pak Madi decided to sell tempe mendoan. The tempeh is specially ordered, the proper mendoan kind. Even though the batter isn't crispy, this tempe mendoan still tastes great. It's Rp10.000 per portion.
