“ Delivered so picture ain't so pretty. Nasi daun bakar sotong petai. It's interesting, fragrant rice with generous amounts of succulent baby squid in their sambal alongside some spicy sambal on the side (no pic). Generous portions of rice and protein. Good and interesting flavours worth trying it out. ”

“ Nasi Putih Ayam Bakar is the bestttt nasi ayam bakar. Nasi Putih Ayam Garing Merah is also good, and the taste of sambal is quite sweet and spicy. It is still flavorful. Room for improvement: The table is a bit sticky, and the air conditioner is not functioning well. ”

Happy that there is another Indonesian food restaurant in town. Dine in, take away or delivery thru Beep. Friendly staff and helpful. Very recommended! ”
“ Tried Daun Ikan Bakar and Mee Ayam Manis. Mee Ayam tasted like Mee Kolok. Was good except a bit oily. Daun Ikan Bakar tasted quite nice except the small fish portion. Not so spicy. Teh Tarik Cincau tasted a bit weird to my taste buds and Ice King Longan Jelly was too sweet. Hard to tase the longan as over shadowed by the sweetness. ”
