Disappointing experience. I find the restaurant is not very ethical in their presentation of food. The restaurant was re-branded from Surabaya to Gading Street Food. So I went down to try their monthly special "Gudeg Yogya". Check out the attached image for what is shown on their menu.
On the menu, it shows $7 for a plate of gudeg set menu, consists of rice, gudeg nangka, krecek, and egg. While paying, first surprise was.. I got to top-up $1.50 for the rice. Which I paid.
To my surprise, only later on I learned that the meal also doesn't include krecek. I got to top-up again for the krecek. So $7 was only just for what seems like pathetic 2 spoonfull of jackfruit and a boiled egg. That's it. What was shown on the menu, was totally different than the real meal. And I wasn't informed upon ordering about no krecek, only rice, jackfruit and egg... for $8.50.
After complaining the staffs were apologizing , asked me to come back and will give me extra portion of krecek. Which is weird. They returned me $3 after I asked cos I feel cheated. I don't get what I paid for. At that time, the overall experience has been very unpleasant. If the meal cost $10 then the restaurant should just put it as $10, rather than put it as $7 and then under-deliver. It makes customer feel cheated.

Edit: I went there when the place was named "Surabaya". I have not been there under the new brand
I have been here many times before and today was my first time trying their Fried Tilapia Fish and Terong Balado (not-so-spicy eggplant).
The fish was crispy on the outside but meat at the inside was still tender. Its salty taste combined with spiciness of chili and sweetness of black soy sauce is heaven.
The eggplant was also tasty although it was not as spicy as expected. But texture was still firm and I guess they put garlic (or fried it with garlic), which gave the garlicky taste which I love a lot.
Conclusion, good things come in pairs so you should try them together for guilty (read: oily) pleasure.

A friend suggested I check out the eateries at Lucky Plaza. So I went and stumbled upon this Ayam Penyet restaurant from Surabaya, Indonesia. Omg, it got to be the best ayam penyet I’ve ever eaten. The flavourful chicken served with crispy flakes is crispy and tender that melts in my mouth. To top it, the fresh bright red sambal is the star. So fiery and tasty that I couldn’t stop dipping the generous amount of chicken, fried tofu and tempe on it. 5 ⭐️.

Coming on weekdays lunch time, its quite crowded. I think can only accomodate around 12-18 people.
Tried the nasi liwet ayam rica, liked the hint of spiciness and spices. It comes with french bean, tempe tahu orek, shredded egg. Overall liked the taste and it feels fresh and homemade.
They also sell martabak manis, which i will try next time...

Portions were good. Very full after finishing up the meal. Shldnt have ordered the tahu telok but it was good! The chillis were good and the chicken and fish were fried to perfection. Felt like a pig after the meal. Sitting Space is limited so go early to get a seat to eat.
