What to order

Safe first

Tempeh rice box

The absolute must-order item, combining perfectly fried, umami-rich fermented soya bean cake with a base of steamed rice.

Hungry

Sambal goreng tempeh

A deeply satisfying portion of fried tempeh tossed with aromatics, tomatoes, beans, and a beautiful glaze of tamarind and kecap manis.

Wildcard

Tempeh skewers

Marinated overnight in garlic, shallots, coriander, and sweet soy, then grilled until wonderfully sticky and served with pickled veg.

Good to know

Tempeh here is treated as a historic Javanese staple, not just a modern meat alternative. Expect big flavors from ingredients like makrut lime leaves, galangal, and kecap manis.
