Best tahu telor in my opinion! Sorry forgot to take pic. Can choose sauce to be poured on top or served on the side. Need to share this among at least 4 pax though, as it gets pretty oily after a while. …

First time trying Indonesian food and I absolutely love it! They are very generous with their food portion and the chicken is really tender. Their nasi goreng istimewa was my favourite dish because i really enjoyed how fragrant their fried rice was! The staff here are really friendly and helpful with recommending dishes too!
