This is another must-try on the Indonesian foodie list. Not because I am "wow-ed" by how good the food is, but try it for the dining experience. The very moment we sat down, the dishes just kept coming, and coming and coming. Until we actually have a spread of at least 20 plates of meat and vegetable dishes in front of us.
The way to start is to ONLY take what interest your taste buds. Because there's a catch to it. If you tried something which you did not like the taste, you will be charged even though you did not finish it. And now you wonder, what do they do with the rest of the dishes that you did not touch? Well, the restaurant actually "recycles" it for the next customer that comes in. And there lies the second catch: GO EARLY during the lunch hour. If you can, be the 1st customer of the day.

Verdict: Good enough Malay-esque cuisine that's slightly overpriced (in my opinion)
And this is how much food we had on the dining table.
