Our latest Bakmi saga in BSD brought us to Bakmi Qiu Qiu. It originates from Pantai Indah Kapuk. The BSD branch is conveniently located at Ruko Greenwich near my running route at the Mozia loop.
Bakmi Qiu Qiu BSD was fully packed on a Saturday morning. We were lucky to grab a table on the first floor right in front of the drink bar.
Guests arriving just after us had to wait for a table upstairs on the second floor.
The Taste Test: Regular vs. Special, Thin vs Curly
There are regular and special bakmi options available. Each comes with three noodle types: halus (thin), keriting (curly), and karet (chewy).
Grace ordered the regular bakmi with thin noodles. I chose the special bakmi with curly noodles, tempted by the promotional picture on the wall.
As expected, the special bakmi arrived with a complete filling, including a half egg. The bigger serving also more filling to my hungry stomach.
Grace’s thin noodles turned out to be much better upon tasting. The thinner texture adheres better to the oils, making the overall noodle bowl significantly tastier.
Sides: Bakso Goreng and Pangsit
We also ordered Bakso Goreng and pangsit to accompany our main courses. The pangsit complemented our noodles exceptionally well.
Unfortunately, the Bakso Goreng was just okay. I prefer versions with less filling and a crunchier outside texture.
Final Verdict: Does Bakmi Qiu Qiu Live Up to Expectations?
Does Bakmi Qiu Qiu BSD live up to the hype? We are genuinely happy with the overall taste.
The regular bakmi with thin noodles is definitely the best choice. Combined with a convenient location, it is a strong contender in the area’s vast noodle competition like Bakmi Oukie
