Bumped into this little Indonesian place during a stroll from Causeway Bay to the Central Library. It was around lunch hour and thought it might be a good idea to have a plate of Indonesian yumminess.It's a small place which can seat up around 40 persons. We got a table at the back of the eatery, just below the big screen television. Most people at that time in the restaurant were eating alone or in a pair, and all eyes were fixed on the television while consuming their food. It's a quite weird
It's a small place which can seat up around 40 persons. We got a table at the back of the eatery, just below the big screen television. Most people at that time in the restaurant were eating alone or in a pair, and all eyes were fixed on the television while consuming their food. It's a quite weird sight I still have to get used to, as I am coming from a culture where we would rather get together for lunch to chat, laugh and enjoy the food.
We ordered a Nasi Kuning and a Rendang Padang. The Nasi Kuning looked alright, the rice looked like a bowl of gold, and was surrounded by Ayam Goreng, Frikadel, Rendang, a half telor, some Kacang, Krupuk, and vegetables which resembled Spinach. The rice was nicely cooked, but lacked the taste from the ingredients which are usually used during the cooking progress. For me personally it meant no taste of coconut milk and lemongrass, which made the rice taste bland and not rich in flavours as it should be. The accompanying dishes tasted good, but did not live up to the rich and explosive flavours as one would expect from the Indonesian kitchen.
The Rendang Padang was served in a generous bowl along with a plate of steamed rice. The Rendang Padang was mainly spicy, but since my lunch companion loves spicy food, he was content with the taste. The meat was cooked as it should be juicy and tender.
It might be that they cook food which is adjusted to the local taste and therefore uses less spices and condiments. But hey, it's cheap, you get a generous amount of food, and it's just a nice eatery where you can drop by quickly for a plate of colourful food.
