| - As a Calgarian, it is not very often that you find Indonesian cuisine in this city, and when you do, as unique as the food is, it often lacks in quality. I can gladly say that Kaffir Lime does not follow this trend.
The food here is amazingly fresh, and filled with a powerful palette of flavours. I ordered the Rendang Daging, a traditional beef curry with coconut and an array of spices, with coconut rice and an Indonesian salad called achaar with a drop of sambal chili sauce. The beef is tender and filled flavour that just melts in your mouth. The rice also has that buttery texture that pairs so well with the beef. The achaar compliments this by adding a fresh crunch with the vegetables. The sambal provides a satisfactory spice, even to someone who has an Indonesian background!
With all of the colours in this dish, it looks like it would be categorized as a light meal; however, looks can be deceiving. The portion given is quite large, which is also amplified by all of the spices. If you're looking for a party in your mouth though, Kaffir Lime will definitely not disappoint!
