Ordering Strategy

Order a variety of satays to start; they arrive on individual ceramic burners that act as table centerpieces. Be aware the Rendang is a wetter, soupier style rather than dry-fried.

What to order

Safe first

Chicken Satay

Described as the 'star of the show,' featuring smoky grilled chunks of thigh under a 'blanket' of sauce that is sweet, salty, and rich with 'spiced caramel tones.'

Hungry

Vegetable Salad (Gado Gado style)

A 'hefty' and substantial main event of cucumber, green beans, basil, and green aubergine bound by a thick peanut and coconut milk dressing.

Wildcard

Sweetcorn Fritters

These 'weirdly addictive' snacks feature 'heat-blistered kernels bursting out of their skins' and are served with a 'perky' and fierce chilli-hot sambal.

Wildcard

Sesame-Crusted Dumplings (Onde Onde)

Fried sweet potato dumplings filled with 'oozing brown sugar caramel' that are considered 'far superior' to the other dessert options on the menu.

What to skip

Skip
Banana FrittersCritiqued as being 'batter-heavy and solid' in comparison to the restaurant's lighter and more flavorful dessert offerings.
