Is the viral crispy egg at Dadar Beredar in Cimahi worth the long queue? This review gets to the bottom of the hype. While the toppings like spicy squid are generous and flavorful, the famous egg itself is surprisingly bland. It’s a paradise for spice lovers seeking a filling meal, but be warned: it's oily, pricier than you think, and not a spot for chilling. Get the honest scoop on whether this viral sensation is truly worth a visit.
Lately, TikTok has been pushing Dadar Beredar on my feed every day, calling it the "Pioneer of Indonesia's First Crispy Egg"[1], and the line at the door is as long as the snake in the classic game[2]. Anjay, it's just a fried egg, right? Is it really that amazing? My darn curiosity got the best of me, so I just had to go check it out.
The Egg is the Sidekick, the Toppings are the Real Star!
The space inside is actually quite large, with an industrial style and high ceilings, so it doesn't feel stuffy even when it's crowded. After ordering, remember to keep your ears open. They don't give out order numbers; they just shout your name to call you for pickup[3], making people with social anxiety tremble... 🤣
I ordered the signature Spicy Squid Crispy Egg (Dadar Cumi)[4], they were really generous with the squid, the spice level was intense, and it was super great with rice! Mantap! My friend's Beef Lung (Dadar Paru)[5] was apparently super fragrant too. The portions are generous; one plate will definitely fill you up[6].
But... to be honest, the crispy egg itself, the supposed star of the show, was a bit bland[7], just a regular old egg. The toppings and sambal were carrying the whole dish. And the whole thing was just... so oily[8]! After finishing, there was a glistening layer of oil at the bottom of the bowl. Calorie bomb alert!
Hold On to Your Wallets, It's Not That Cheap
As for the price, don't be fooled by those online videos claiming you can eat for just "ten-something thousand." That's for a bare-bones plain fried egg set. If you want to add some decent toppings, you're looking at an average cost of 20-30k Indonesian Rupiah per person[9]. At this price point, with this taste and ambiance, whether it's good value for money is a matter of personal opinion.
A Guide to Avoid Pitfalls, You're Welcome
Alright, as usual, for the girls who want to go check it out, here are the key takeaways:
- A Paradise for Spice Lovers: Almost every dish is spicy. For those who can't handle spice, be sure to ask before ordering![10] This place is definitely a canteen for fans of strong flavors.
- Parking is a Huge Pain: Driving here is basically self-torture; parking spots are pitifully scarce. It's recommended to ride a motorcycle or park at the Yogya supermarket across the street and walk over[11].
- Go During Off-Peak Hours! Off-Peak Hours!: Lining up during meal times is the norm. If you don't want to wait forever, try going around 3 or 4 in the afternoon.
- Don't Expect to Nongkrong: The environment is quite noisy, and the tables and chairs are wobbly. It's just a place to quickly fill your stomach, not suitable for long chats or to chill[12]. The restroom... emmm... you know what I mean.
- Crispy egg pioneer Dadar Beredar has snake-like queues for its addictive crispy egg[1][2]. What's the hype?
- Generous spicy squid with an explosive spicy kick over rice. A soul-snatching bite for big eaters 🍚[3]!
- Skip the plain egg; add toppings! The crispy egg with beef lung is super fragrant and filling. You'll leave stuffed [4][5]
