We ordered almost every dish for delivery; here is a lowdown on what is worth trying and what can be missed. Stick to their martabak manis; the original choco-cheese was gooey and filled with crunchy peanuts! A favourite for all. The ondeh-ondeh filling was however dismal and lacked the gooey filling of the chocolate to hold it together. Everything pretty much fell apart when it was delivered. The savoury martabak are surprisingly good, thick with filling and the kuah martabak telur sauce complimented it well. That is essentially all you should order. Everything else was absolutely disappointing. The Bakso was so salty, I couldn’t eat the meatballs without slathering in sweet sauce or spicy chilly to counter the saltiness. The soup was also too salty. The Indomie Ayam Geprek was essentially fried fatty chicken skin with hardly any actual chicken meat. There was nothing else the instant noodles came with which is a rip off for $11.90. The Indomie Bakso Penyet came with 5 miserable meatballs, no fried egg or garlic crackers as advertised; unsure how they could justify $10.50 for a packet of instant noodles and some small dry meatballs. (unfortunately the dish was eaten before I could get a photo!) The Beef Rendang although taste wise was ok the meat was chewy, tough and dry with hardly any rendang gravy. We requested to separate the chilli as there were children in our group but that request was sadly ignored. All the meals came covered in spicy chilli, which had a kick but meant the children couldn’t have any of the main dishes which is a shame. Strongly suggest Smile Martabak to stick to what you know best and forget about trying other Indonesian alternatives which you are unable to deliver or get right! A hit and miss of a meal, somewhat disappointing. Prices are somewhat higher than most, especially for instant noodles !
