So last Sunday afternoon after the routine massage, we decided to explore and try out some of the restaurants in our neighborhood. First up is Ketjil Kitchen, serving a variety of pasta, burgers as well as local Indonesian favorites. The restaurant interior is charming - made up of an eclectic mix of furniture, splash of colors, vintage radios and pictures and metal-pots-turned-into-hanging lamps. Very cosy indeed.
For a Sunday afternoon, business was relaxed at Ketjil Kitchen. When we entered, we made a beeline for one of tables before one of the wait staff politely told us to order at the counter. To order, one either have a look at the menu which is presented in the ubiquitous blackboard or alternatively, flip through an iPad at the cashier to see what pleases the eye and appetite. Having done that, we proceed to our table and waited for our food to be served.
First up is our drinks. I would say they serve up a pretty mean chocolate milkshake. Rich, flavourful and yummy! For lunch, I had their nasi goreng bumbu ijo, while Hubs had a burger. Burger was alright but the winner was the fried rice. I think it was fried rice in green chilli paste, which lent a nice "green" taste that is unique of green chilli to the rice. Lovely! It came with a piece of fried chicken and grilled sardines with red chilli sambal. I loved the grilled sardines as well, although I'm not too sure if they used canned sardines.
Certainly Ketjil Kitchen seems like a cool hang out place, ideal for a lazy afternoon. Definitely will be back on and off.
