They say this is the best Martabak in Medan... Here's my honest opinion.

On a business trip to Medan, a local friend laid down the law: you haven't really been to Medan if you don't eat Yurich's Martabak. Alright, I had to see for myself just how amazing this "Number One Pancake in Medan," hyped up all over the internet, really is. 🧐

The Verdict First, Then the Guide

So, is it worth it? I think "it depends."

For the Veterans: A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls 📝

• Ordering Tips: For your first time, if you're afraid of picking a dud, you can try the Spekulos[9] or the classic Black Martabak with matcha sauce combo first. They're consistently good.
• Butter Upgrade: Don't hesitate when ordering, just pay extra to upgrade to Wijsman butter[10]! The aroma and texture will be taken to the next level. It's money well spent!
• Weird Way to Eat It: A local friend taught me this: if you can't finish it, put it in the fridge and eat it cold the next day. They say it tastes even better[11]! I tried it, and the skin becomes more chewy and springy. It really has a unique flavor.
• Choosing a Size: If you're just satisfying a craving by yourself or want to try multiple flavors, the Mini size (5 slices) is enough. For sharing with family, go straight for the Regular (10 slices)[12].
• Lazy Ordering: If you don't want to run the errand yourself, just arrange it via Go-Food[13]. But remember to be extra patient during peak hours; rushing them won't help~
