Nasi campur for 20 K IDR
Great scots! This is probably THE BEST fried bandeng (milk fish, iirc) presto i have ever had. I love bandeng (bandeng asap preferably tbh, but presto tend to be easier to find), and this one is prepared oh so well one really has to write a review on the spot. Now i know that piece is quite small, but i did get more stuff to go with it namely that salted egg (which is wayyyy better than your run-of-the-mill overly-salty ones) and their tempe orek is also so good and just feels like home (albeit being just veeery slightly sweeter than it should be). The veg are just okay, but they did cook it just enough to still have a crunch (most others in Indonesia seem to just boil the hell out of everything). Lastly, their sambal is great, packs a punch, but they do only give a wee bit (this being the heart of Java and all)
Now I have to say that i do prefer the fresh cucumber and tomatoes from the nasi bandeng set, which also goes for only 20 K but has a bigger piece of the bandeng, however i do appreciate the merrier nasi campur options for their tempeh and salted egg.
Moving on, i think what really makes this place worth visiting (besides the simple yet delicious menu and the spacious yet charming, open yet homey wood-filled space) is their drinks. Rarely have i ever been so compelled to order another drink, but they just do such a great spiced hot choco! Served in a small tin cup, this thick cinnamony concoction really is a drink for the gods. Naturally i would love a bit more thickness and perhaps some heat from cardamom or something, but this one really does well in serving a really enjoyable hot drink without overwhelming any of the senses. Their spiced coffee is also noteworthy and the spice blend in the coffee is even more interesting for me, but i do have to say that - in general - i do prefer choco over coffee. However, even after acknowledging that bias, i would urge people to try the coffee. Anyway, they both go for 15 K each and the drinks are generally unsweetened so they are so worth it.
