anyone that stays in thomson would agree, you'd be spoilt for choice when it comes to food. there's a wide array of cuisine available to feed any taste buds: chinese, western, italian, indian, and many more!
on our many hunger-filled trawls along upp thomson, noel and i have always noticed this authentic indonesian restaurant, but never found the opportunity to dine in. we made time one night, after my team chelsea won a match, to have a celebratory dinner at this inviting restaurant. heh! as always, the smell of their rendang is a true pull factor.
we came with our very hungry tummies, lots of space for a big meal, so it goes without saying that we ordered quite a few dishes to feed our growling tummies.
the food looked as delicious as they did in the menu!
bagedil (or potato cutlets)
fried sambal eggplants - my favorite!

we came with our very hungry tummies, lots of space for a big meal, so it goes without saying that we ordered quite a few dishes to feed our growling tummies.the food looked as delicious as they did in the menu!ayam gulai (or chicken in coconut gravy)
sotong bakar (or BBQ squid)
sotong bakar (or BBQ squid)bagedil (or potato cutlets)fried sambal eggplants - my favorite!as the photos will atest, the food was scrumptious. i strongly recommend the ayam gulai. it was just right. not too spicy that i could feed our 18month-old toddler, and the gravy was good enough to slurp even after the chicken was long walloped!
i wasn't a big fan of the fish asam pedas that we ordered. the gravy was a tad diluted. the eggplants were awesome, and the potato cutlets too. some stall owners load their potato cutlets with lots of flour to cheat with the sizes and cut back on potatoes, but not these ones! they were so yummy i could have more than one to myself!
the sotong bakar (or BBQ squid) is another dish worth raving about. the squid was cooked to perfection, and not rubbery at all. it won me over, and i'm not a big fan of squid because i've fallen victim to one too many rubbery ones!
we came back another time and tried the mutton rendang, and this is something i would recommend as well. and don't forget the sambal goreng! this is must-have dish with every nasi padang meal!
price-wise, we thought it was reasonable. for all the dishes pictured above - which were enough to fill two and half hungry tummies (hee!) - the damage was only about $25 (drinks included). and the service is good too. i was quite impressed that when i went to get the baby chair, the staff stopped me halfway and insisted on carrying it for me, although our table was a short distance away. most other outlets' staff would leave you to it, since you've already got it in your hands, as i've experienced other times.
so if i've got you salivating already, check out this awesome authentic indonesian restaurant the next time you're in upp thomson! i would recommend, though, that you come by before 8pm, otherwise all the delicious food will be gone and you will have few choices left.

Ann, William and myself made a trip to Toa Payoh to check out a new Bak Kut Teh restaurant. Shyanne couldn't come as she had a wedding to attend. Well, a not so nice food court made way for this restaurant. I doubt you'll ever have to worry about getting a table because there are two floors!
Yup, that's what we got for $36.00
The term 'lok lok' stems from Malaysia. You'll find these mobile steamboat vehicles outside clubs in Kuala Lumpur. Food are skewered on bamboo sticks and you have to cook them in pots of boiling water before eating. Quite an experience I must say.
SLURP SLURP SLURP!!!
