Wow.......
Like wowzers!!
I think I've written enough reviews proclaiming the heeeerlijkness of indo-food, but this place really puts others to shame! HUGE selection and for you veggie heads out there the herbivore selection knows no bounds and trying to select two is close to torture!! If you haven't been here before, I shall explain the process...
1. Walk to the very back of the toko - this is the start line.
2. Select one of the rices, noodles (there are MANY to choose from)
3. Select two veggie dishes. This is no easy tasks folks!! They all look super lekker and if you are a fan of tempeh, you will be in heaven!! I had the aubergine/tempeh in spicy sauce and peanut sprouts... but in doing so I missed out on the sate bean sprouts, spiced sweet potatoes, other tempeh schempeh dishes... .AAARRRG... I had to quickly calm the F down and tell myself that I will be back.......
4. Select two meat dishes. The "spicy" ones are REAAAAALLY flavorful, but not that spicy. Also a huge selection and any choice you make will be right choice.
5. Next, go sit down and enjoy!!
Wat suuuper gezellig is, is that you don't pay until you leave. So just sit down, grab a drink yourself if you are thirsty, and when you leave, you can pay for whatever you consumed. What really tops this place off to a 5-star rating is the decor. Bamboo napkin holders on the wall... in fact, you can't see the wall with all the orchids, vines, oriental decoration, lights... you'll know what I'm talking about when you walk in. But what I love the most is homegirl (owner) has pictures of herself all over! As someone from southeast asia, I'm happy to see stuff like this as it reminds me of the culture over there. When you walk into someone's house, you will see MASSIVE pictures (larger than real size) or scrolls of the women or marriage photos. Here, you will see pictures of homegirl in the rice fields, homegirl with her hands together, homegirl brushing her hair in the warm Indonesian breeze. Either way, homegirl loves her pictures and I hope you love them too.
I FOR sure will be back because I need to eat the other billions of selections they have. read more
