我喜欢这里的硬尾鱼， 鱼肉里塞满了迷人的叁巴料， 让人垂涎欲滴， 胃口大开。
Pecel Ayam set come with a big piece of chicken thigh and the pecel makes a nice condiment, although we would have preferred it to be more nutty in taste. Soto on the other hand was mediocre. Apparently the place is popular among locals for both take away and dine in, as their food price tags fits in the budget of majority working class staying nearby here.
Set Nasi Ayam Cabe Ijo (RM 18.80) is priced exorbitantly in our opinion. At the very first impression (attributed to the misleading pictures), we thought it would be a glamorous lunch set with the items on the menu - tauhu goreng (at least few pieces we thought), Emping (Indonesia chips) and Sayur Asem (Indonesia vegetable in tamarind soup) served separately in a generous quantity. However, what we got is a mini buffet platter with a bowl of white rice, served along with the Ayam Cabe Ijo (no doubt it was good), a few pieces of small Emping, a piece of tauhu goreng and a small bowl of Soto alike soup. The Ayam Cabe Ijo, which is a nicely fried chicken whole leg marinated with green chili and various vegetables is delicious. Pairing it with the sambal nenas gives it a more spicy kick. However, the price tag RM 18.80 is still not justifiable.
Pempek is definitely the signature dish here. We had the Single Set which comes in few huge pieces fit for at least 2 diners. They were deep fried and possessed resilient texture, definitely not bouncy but not mushy soft either. One of them contained Egg and to be eaten together with a thick, sweet Vinegar-like dip as well as condiments like Dried Shrimp (in powder form) and Cucumber. Not addictive but not too shabby for a change.
