A food blog from a Singapore-based traveler
Overall, their dishes were on par with what I had back then or even better.
This is a good alternative to ayam penyet if I am dining in Orchard. They also have an outlet in Tampines. I’ll definitely be making many return visits!
Granted, there wasn't much meat to pluck off of that pomfret, but it was slightly smoky and went nicely with rice and that slightly sweet dark sauce drizzled on top. The skin was pretty tasty too, but unfortunately most of those bones weren't edible.
Overall, Dapur Penyet serves Indonesian style of comfort food. It is delicious and it will satisfy your Indonesian food cravings. Cheers!
A must-try, a tip is to request that the beancurd be replaced with more tempeh when ordering the Tempe Penyet ($5.50) you'll get a couple of beancurd pieces with the protein mains anyway.
Good hearty and flavourful Indonesian food. I though everything, including the tauhu telor, were great.
We think Warung M Nasir is one of the best restaurants in the Orchard Road-Somerset area to enjoy an affordable Nasi Padang meal.
I don't think I'll ever get past their fried cow lungs.
If I had to describe, I'd say that their sambal hijau/merah were decent.
A must-try, the Soto Madura ($8.80) was the best rendition of the Javanese staple I've ever had outside of the Indonesian archipelago.
The thing I didn’t understand was why the deep fried spring roll had to be cut and soaked in the Soto Mie soup ($7.80), losing its crispiness. Then I learned that this is the way it was served back in Bogor.
Ordered some of the stuff we liked like their sambal goreng.
The eponymous signature Dancing Fish ($37) is a must-try.
Dancing Fish Signature has yet to disappoint in the visits we've made.
With its excellent location in town, I am already putting this as a good recommendation to dine in Orchard Road.
