Gulai Itiak Lado Mudo Ngarai

West Sumatra


This shack restaurant is a good spot to sample the delicious regional speciality itiak lado mudo (duck in green chilli). It's got some kick, but heat levels aren't off the chart. It's in a valley area close to the river a couple of kilometres west of Bukittinggi on the road to Danau Maninjau.
