Omg where has this been in my life? I love seafood and pork dumplings but can't seem to find them in Singapore. But this is a hidden gem, very, very yummy! The steam ones were really good too. Had their hot and sour soup, plus veggie. What a wonderful meal!
Very straightforward menu - dry or soup noodles. Opted for dry mee tai bak, Al dente but wished it had more flavour. The fishballs were good but definitely the star of the show is the fish dumplings. Very flavourful and good meat to skin ratio. Yums!
Surprisingly the soup was not pungent with coriander flavour! I'm totally adverse to Chinese parsley or coriander but this soup was good. All the elements in the rice bowl worked together but I felt the ikan bilis really elevated the mixture in terms of the saltiness plus crunch. Hits the spot when you want a nice bowl of thunder tea rice.
We ordered this dish during dinner time. So good! Springy noodles laced with a build up spiciness stirred in with gooey yolk, the achar to cleanse the palate, the chicken satay was tender with a really yummy peanut sauce. Fried shallot can be more generous though! A nice casual spot to hang out with friends.
Perfect for a swelteringly hot day! Cold, fizzy and the right amount of sweetness. The fermented lemon slices lent a nice tartness. You want a sweet drink but with less guilt, this is the spot for you. Super refreshing! The lemongrass kombucha tea was super thirst quenching as well.
Masterchef alumnus Marcus Low's creations were really delish. We shared 3 cakes - yam + pine nut, chocolate + calamansi, watermelon + asam boi. My favourite's choc + calamansi, the tartness of the calamansi curd in the middle is lovely with the dark chocolate. Yam lovers will love the yam mousse plus the crunchy pine nut base. Watermelon + asam boi is very good too, even though I'm not an asam boi fan. Overall not too sweet and a lovely little spot for a sweet tooth. Too bad their special desserts are only available at night!
Average bara chirashi, proportion of rice to ingredient was significant lol. If you're craving for bara chirashi, this would hit the spot. I had the milk tea as well, while not too sweet it wasn't strong enough in my opinion. But overall, a nice casual spot for a Thai-Jap fusion meal.
Had the soto betawi, Nasi Bali and siomay.
Nasi Bali was good! The little portions of dishes had more flavours and spice VS my soto betawi. Siomay recipe definitely had more flour than fish meat, even the peanut sauce couldn't mask it.
If you're craving for Indo flavours then this will do, but if you want legit, in-your-face flavours... This is not the spot. Decor wise it's cute though! Casual joint, inexpensive for town standards and run by real Indonesians too.

My husband and I had our date night here. A lovely quiet spot! Food was great, the octopus was flavourful, and I had the spicy chorizo pasta with prawns - a tinge of spicyness, pared down due to the tomato based sauce, generous in ingredients too. Husband had the burger and it was solid, the patty was cooked medium well, buns were a little soft but acceptable. Dessert was a desconstructed tiramisu - nice chocolatey brownie, strong coffee ice cream but I didn't fancy the Italian Lady Fingers. Overall loved the food (better with Burpple Beyond :P) and would recommend this as a date night place!
