I came here last Sunday for a friend's birthday dinner. The staff didn't seem too pleased to see us enter through the door past 9pm. Already I felt I was inconveniencing the kitchen, which doesn't stimulate the appetite. After sitting we were told every 10 minutes for the next 45 minutes that it's last call/ late. You'd think we came in at 10pm rather than an hour before closing.
We ordered
- Fried Cauliflower Salad - Crunchy, flavorful and surprisingly really good. A veritable fusion win.
-Watermelon Salad - Not as great and refreshing as i was hoping it would be. I think it's because it was made a day before or not from the best watermelon.
- Nasi Goreng - Having grown up in the Netherlands where many Indonesians now also live, I have certainly had better nasi goreng
-Satay Ayam - the chicken was dry. Since this is such a big dish in Indonesia, I was surprised what a meh job they did of it.
- Semur Java - This was the best meat dish. Love the robust beef flavors and spices in this.
-Ayam Penggang - Again the chicken was overcooked and dry.
and I drank a Kaffir Me Cocktail - I enjoyed it, though it wasn't remarkable.
Our waitress was friendly and bubbly, but definitely was passing on the message that the rest of the staff wanted to leave.
I wouldn't come back again due to that reason, and because the food wasn't spectacular enough for a repeat visit and trip to midtown.
