  • We went last night for the first time and were unimpressed. My wife's uncle is Indonesian (from Java) and has made some authentic dishes for family functions. He was very excited that a new restaurant opened up not far from where they live in Plum. We got there early on a Saturday and the restaurant was empty, the service definitely needs some improvement. Our server took a long time just to bring out waters and had to come back to let us know that some of the main ingredients used in some of their specialty dishes they had run out of (avocados, yellow rice?). My wife and I ordered the Shumai appetizer and were very happy with them when they came out. The peanut dipping sauce was thick and creamy! My wife had an Es Cendol as a beverage which was tasty but too rich for me. We weren't sure how large portions would be since the prices were so reasonable. Despite the fact that I'm a vegetarian my wife is a carnivore. More often than not she orders veggie options so we can sample each other's meals. We decided on 3 dishes, Gado-Gado, Gulai Daun Collard, and Terong Balado. The Gado Gado was by far the best of the 3 dishes, probably because of the peanut sauce! The dish came out slightly cold (the tofu). It wasn't terrible but we weren't impressed by the level of seasoning, it was pretty bland (other than the peanut sauce). The Gulai Daun Collards were watery, and needed a lot of salt. The portion size of the dish was definitely reasonable but it was definitely lacking in flavor. The Terong Balado was by no means anything I would ever order again! It was extremely oily and bland. Eggplant in general soaks up oil and this dish was mushy and tasteless. I had ordered the dish because we were expecting a bit of heat (the menu had 2 peppers next to it, the only dish that had that symbol), but it had no spice whatsoever. I tried to doctor it up with hot sauce that came out in a ketchup/mustard bottle. No sambal? Really? The hot sauce was some generic brand that we're sure was definitely not Indonesian. The service was unbelievably slow and only once did they come by to refill water glasses. We contemplated dessert but opted instead to get something in the city that would satisfy our sweet tooth. We heard that they have different cooks and that is why the food is inconsistent. I hope that's the case but I don't think we'll be venturing out to Irwin anytime soon as we have an authentic Indonesian restaurant at our uncle's house!
