Sep 17, 2026"Definitely worth it! For only Rp14,000, the nasi ayam here is delicious, filling, and budget-friendly. They also sell plenty of extra add-ons like sate-satean, gorengan, and kerupuk to mix and match with your plate. Great food, great prices—highly recommended! Also the place is very confinient compared to others."

Sep 05, 2026"Okay turns out this place is surprisingly delicious. It is so affordable with one bowl only costing Rp12k. So what is this food they are exactly selling you might ask? This dish is basically chicken on top of rice with some coconut milk broth drizzled on top of it which is exactly delicious. The savoury and flavourful spiced soup is amazing. The portion might be quite small but you can add on additional toppings such as the satay. You can also ask for additional shredded chicken or omit krecek which is basically cattle skin. Locals really love this krecek so we decided to try it and at first it might taste off putting due to the texture but we try to convince ourselves that it tastes good."
