Quite authentic Indonesian cuisine. Warm service and helpful staffs to assist first time visit guests.
The beef balls were bouncy and filled with beef flavours, different from local Singapore beef balls. Seems like these beff balls are well made, similar to hand made ones. Noodles were slightly over cooked, quite well seasoned and balanced taste, savoury.
Fried chicken was well seasoned and cooked. Tender.
Will come back for their oxtail soup.
Service was fast.
Came for lunch on Monday. Easy to get a seat and quick meal service. The rendang and nasi kampung were very good. Dishes are good and presentation, also
One of fav Indonesia restaurants in Orchard. The place is cozy compared to
Other restaurant in Lucky Plaza. My fav is Nasi goreng Kambing. The noodle is nice but the meatball is just average. I would highly recommended all type of nasi goreng in here.
Found this humble cafe, tucked away behind the main row of shops, away from the busting sunday crowd of Lucky Plaza… And we were glad that we did, as they serve some authentic Indonesian Cuisines, not cooked or tuned to SG taste buds.
We had their Gudeg With Rice set that boasted caramelized and subtly sweet tender stewed jackfruit, served with fluffy white rice, accompanied with succulent pieces of coconut-braised chicken, stewed beef skin, and a perfectly braised hard bolied egg.
Every bite gave a nice mix of sweet, savory and heat, after mixing sambal into the dish. The bold flavours and texture of this dish, had also reminded me of what i ate before in Yogyakarta, the place of origin for this heritage dish.
Their Empal Gentong had generous serving of tender beef chunks swimming in a creamy, spiced coconut curry broth with rich flavours from garlic, coriander and turmeric. Served with fluffy white rice, its hearty, fragrant, savory and a little spicy.
Other than the 2 mains, we ordered their Bakwan Jagung that came in three Golden brown pieces, Crispy and full of sweet corn Crunch on the outside, fluffy inside and balanced in flavours. Its nice overall and reminded me of what my auntie’s indonesian helper had made before. However i personally preferred the version where corn kernels are blended, mixed with the dough and full kernels again.
Tohu Goreng served, also came in 3 pieces. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, but fillings of cucumber and blanched beansprouts, were lacking in portion thus felt short of balance in overall flavours and bite texture.
Last came their Tempe Mendoan. We were confused on 1st bite as the battered Tempe for this dish was supposed to be briefly fried, resulting in a thin crispy crust but still soft inside (Semi-cooked like what the name of the dish suggested), but what served were normal deep-fried battered Tempe with well cooked internal instead, thus Tempe not soft. However, the dish was good, in terms of bite texture and flavours, as Tempe Goreng not Mendoan.
Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and managed to subdue our craving for authentic Indonesian cuisines. Service staffs or bosses were friendly and warm, efficient and attentive 👍🏻 We will return for their dishes for sure.
Found a hidden gem in Lucky Plaza! I tried the Gudeg and Empal Gentong and both were fantastic. Tahu isi have green Chilli which is a big plus as well.
It seems to be a family-run place, they’re very kind and always smiling.
I ordered the gudeg there and heavily enjoyed it. The lady there was also incredibly kind and was more than happy to provide more sambal. I would more than happily come back here to try some of their other dishes. .
another great option of Indonesian food in lucky plaza. first time seeing gudeg in SG and it doesn't disappoint. it's of the dry type and came together with the krecek and opor ayam. bakwan jagung was crispy and enjoyable too. but our favorite was the sate ayam. the chunks of meat were huge and tender and we really enjoyed the peanut sauce.
price is affordable for the quality and portion of the food!
I adore the food here. Second visit today. Tried their bubur Ayam 😍✨ Food made with love. Their Ayam Penyet, Nasi is also amazing. Freshly made and satisfying to enjoy. …
A lot of Javanese-Indonesian food on their menu that I did not expect to find in Singapore, such as Sate Madura, Empal Gentong and Gudeg. For their Nasi Liwet, the rice was fragrant and fried chicken was hot and fall-off-the-bone tender. Very satisfied.
