Keripik Singkong (Cassava Chips).
They gave us these chips as soon as we sat down in the restaurant. I love these chips, mum used to make lots of them and sell it.
Sup Bakso Sapi (Beef Meatballs Soup).
I didn’t realize how nice it can be, beef meatballs cooked with coconut milk and green tomatoes, until I had this dish. Oh my…..!!!!
Trancam (Raw vegetables mixed with shredded coconut and spices).
This authentic Javanese salad is always one of my favourites. And this restaurant definitely has the best one. Love it !!!
Sekul Gurih, savoury rice, served with chicken opor/indonesian light curry, beef sambal, egg, raw veggies and cow skin chips “krupuk rambak”. Very nice combination.
Sekul Jene Set (Yellow Rice Cone Set). Javanese use this dish for big celebrations, for example birthdays, business opening ceremonies and other parties. It can be made into different sizes depending on what we need and normaly we have more condiments. Definitely a must try dish. I have been eating this type of dish in many restaurants and I can tell you that this is one of the best J
Udang Bakar Madu (BBQ Honey Prawn). Love it !!!
And at last, desert. From top right, Es Setup (fruits boiled in spices then served with ice, sugar, raisin and sliced of lime), bottom left is Puding Kabinet (authentic pudding made of fermented rice and egg), bottom right is Puding Gulo Gosong (normal pudding cooked with caramelized brown sugar topped with coconut milk). Delicious.
I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. Love it, love it, love it !!!
