Came here as a party of 7 ppl, for a colleague's farewell dinner and he wanted to try out Indo cuisine as it was something he'd never eaten before. I must say this restaurant has gone to the top of my list for Indo cuisine as the food was excellent and our server, Komang was lovely!! Also loved the menu, which had a fabulous history of Indo-Dutch history and also some recipes! I definitely took my menu with me. The only (small) negative was that it did take a while for the food to come out, but I reckon that's the norm with bigger parties. In the meantime, Komang kept us supplied with Shrimp Crackers and a delicious peanut dipping sauce.
For drink & dessert combined in one shot, we started our menu selection with Es tjendol, which was coconut cream/ milk with shaved ice, rice jelly and proper Javanese brown sugar coating the inside of the glass. THIS WAS DELICIOUS!! And if u have a sweet tooth, definitely recommend ordering it.
Three of us decided to get the Vegetarian Rijsttafel and there were two options, so two people got the "Sarirasa" (which Komang our server said was her fave) and I decided to get "Nusantara." And oh gosh - the amount of delicious food we got as part of these two rice tables was fantastic and had a good mixture of entree plus salads as well as hot & cold dishes. The omelette was a standout, as was the egg curry. Honestly everything was just super delicious and if you are Vegetarian, this restaurant absolutely takes good care of your dining!
Other items ordered on the table were:
-Ikan pepesan (mackerel in spicy bumbu sauce, oven baked in banana leaf) which was super delicious and had a great taste + kick. For a lot of folks on the table this was the fave dish and I liked it very much too!
- Ayam taoco (Chicken in dark bean sauce) which had a great mild salty taste. This wa good, but not sure would get it again. But interesting dish, as you see the Chinese influence in Indo customers.
- Ayam bumbu rujak (boneless thigh chicken in spicy coconut bumbu, salam leaves & lemongrass) which was another highlight for folks on the table, and I liked the texture and taste of this dish very much too, so definitely recommend.
I loved the food, the service and had a great night out. Can't wait for another opportunity to return back to this restaurant! Highly recommended!!
