One of the best taste of beef tongue and beef ox. If you want a culinary aternative beside Taliwang Chicken in Mataram, this is the place that you should try

The oxtail soup is obviously the star. But you should really try their Es Cincau Madu. To die for.

Sop Buntut Ibu Hong - Different kind of Oxtail Soup!This oxtail soup in particular have a very thick broth. There’s no vegetables in it only huge chuck of oxtail.With added sambal & lime the broth turned into a very refreshing soup!My guess the oxtail was cooked for a very long time, the fat and the tallow was rendered into the soup making it very thick and hearty. The meat on the bone are unbelievably soft and tender too!For you who like soup dishes, this is a must visit place.The soup price are a bit expensive at IDR 100k per portion but its worth it.Overall experience was good. Good food with nice homey place.

The greatest food I discovered in Lombok where it delivers the best oxtail soup, thumbs up for this OG oxtail soup joint! No question you gotta order their OG oxtail soup. Bang! The broth was spot on! Very rich in flavor & the soup was a slightly gravy-ish texture which brings more character to the plate. The oxtail given in a bowl was a very2 generous portion, u can find 3-4 oxtail bones in a portion. And well this goes very well with hot steamed rice, an excellent dish at mid day!! Price wise it was totally worth it, 80k for a portion of the oxtail soup, man, take my money!

One of the best oxtail soups I've ever had. Period. Soup is so thick with collagen that you can just eat that with rice. It's umami, salty, a bit sweet, it's just perfect.
