I heard about this place a long time ago from my Indonesian friends. I love indonesian food, but unfortunately there is no Indonesian restaurants in town. When I heard about this place, I thought i have to check it out. Although it almost a half year ago, since I went there, i still clearly remember how lame is the food.
When I went there, it was pretty slow, other than us probably only other 2 old couple having their dinner. Decorations of the place is kind of lame, you can see all the furniture is really old, they should probably change it. But, I don't care about furniture that much. I go to restaurants to eat and not to appreciate how good the decorations. I will leave the points for the decorations to other reviewer.
As soon as I got the menu, I right away turned to the Indonesian food section. My eyes were sparkling, I'm pretty sure I dropped a tear just looking at that menu. Since my friend has no idea about indonesian food, I thought I'll let the server explain it to him. Unfortunately, the server had no idea either. She had never tried any of the food. After a minute or two the server finally recommended one of the dishes. Which was the beef with the coconut curry flavor. I thought I'll give it a try, since that one the server admitted it herself that she knows that one and she knows for sure that is a good dishes. I also ordered some salad and some shrimp dishes.
Once we received our dishes, the beef looked not pleasant in the eyes at all. It looked almost like a mongolian beef with an old leftover gravy put on top of it. When I tried it. All you can taste is coconut milk, you can barely taste any other flavor. It was just horrible. As an indonesian and a human, I feel embarrassed if this is the kind of Indonesian food they serve to human beings. I know this is a chinese restaurant, but If you can't serve indonesian food, then don't put it on the menu! Maybe it was just a wrong day i went, maybe the chef was just not a regular chef that usually knows how to cook Indonesian dishes.
But as my experience for the food, it was not good at all. Out of 3 dishes I ordered. 1 of them 0 star, 2 of them 1.5 star. Average 0.5 star.
