If you'd asked me a few years ago for my opinion of Indonesian food, I probably would've just shrugged my shoulders and mumbled something. But now I consider myself a fan based on the few dishes I've tried.
We'd heard good things about Lion City, so we embarked on a trek deep into the heart of Mississauga to sample their wares. We ultimately wound up ordering Nasi Goreng ("Indonesian style fried rice with shrimps, chicken, and egg") and Beef Rendang.
Though I've had both dishes at the far superior Little Sister, Lion City's spin on these two items is quite good. The Nasi Goreng was probably the weaker of the two, as it's a little too greasy and lacking in bold flavors to really warrant a hearty recommendation. It works perfectly when eaten with the Beef Rendang, though.
The Rendang is the real winner. The meat is soft and delicious, while the hearty sauce is full of flavor and spice. It's an addictive dish and I only wish there was more of it.
And as a final note: I've noticed a lot of people complaining about the service, but that wasn't an issue at all for us. We were handed that order sheet that Asian restaurants seem to love as soon as we walked in and it was picked up within a minute or two of us filling it out. No problem whatsoever.
