Intense Indonesian

For those craving traditional Indonesian bubur ayam (chicken porridge), Tanamera Coffee has an authentic recipe! Served with peanuts, shredded egg, celery as well as 3 types of sauces (sweet soysauce, chili & tamarind) to suit your preference.

They also have sate ayam (chicken satay) marinated in crumbled peanut & sweet soysauce with a hint of cabe (chili). Ask for less spicy if you are not used too Indonesian-level of spiciness.

Missing Bali? This new bistro offers wide selections of Indonesian food with Bali’s hip ambience.

For those who are new to Indonesian food - can try this Chicken Crazy Fried Rice. The dish served on a wooden talenan (cutting board), with emping (melinjo chips) & lalapan (fresh salad). The chicken is super crispy yet juicy, reminding me of the Japanese chicken katsu. The fried rice is the brown style, cooked in sweet soysauce. Be careful when eating the chili, as it is considerably spicy even for Indonesian.

Other recommended dishes that deserve a shoutout are oxtail soup (sup buntut) & Balinese Satay. The oxtail is on the sweeter side and the beef is very tender and fatty. The Balinese pork satay is crispy and sweet, served with chili sauce.

The most authentic soto (Indonesian soup) place in Singapore! Even the utensils are Indo-style - see that old school enamel plate, serving white rice with bawang goreng!

Ordered soto betawi (beef soup with coconut milk), the soup is thick with sweet yet savoury flavour. Added some drops of kecap manis and fresh lime from the condiments bar to add another layer of flavour. The soto portion is quite small, so best to add-on Bakwan Jagung ($1.60) or Bala-Bala ($1.60) as a side dish!

Had opor ayam (chicken with coconut-milk sauce), teri kacang (fried anchovy with peanuts), and kangkong belacan. Taste quite authentic and the belacan is spicy! They also have popular Indonesian beverages such as Teh Botol (original and less sugar option) and Fruit Tea.

It’s slightly pricier than other Indonesian stalls such as ayam penyet outlets.
