"THE FOOD HERE IS SO GOOD AND SO UNDERRATED.We came here on a Wednesday night and the place was virtually empty. We ordered a lamb satay, and fried tofu to share.The lamb satay was SO good. Probably one of the best I've ever had! The lamb was super tender and juicy, and the seasoning complemented it really well (as opposed to just being covered in cumin). 5/5 and would definitely get again!The fried tofu was really yummy too! It was lightly fried on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. It came with two different dipping sauces, and I would highly recommend dipping them to get the full experience.For entree we got the beef rendang and the bakso super. The beef rendang was alright. The beef rendang portion was extremely small- much smaller than I had expected and flavors were muted compared to others I've had in the past. However, the coconut kale soup that came with it was INCREDIBLE as was the egg. The potato and tofu was also really sweet and savory. If there was a way to just get those three, I would skip the beef rendang part haha.The bakso super soup was relatively light. It comes with a huge homemade meatball with an egg inside and a smaller beef meatball. The smaller one was reminiscent of the beef balls in hotpot or those that can be bought frozen. The bigger one was pretty good, although not as flavorful as I was hoping for.Everything here is really cheap and the portions are just right to be full but not too full. Would encourage trying it out! There's so many dishes I would love to come back and try."
