I was here the first time brought by my sister. I don't know how she manage to find this place because you will easily just pass by this place without a second look. Firstly i go in, the decor is somewhat confused... A bit of a hawker feel a little restaurant and a little kumpong style.
However the decors aside, the food is pretty good.
(Signature) Cumi Bali, Grilled sotong with black sweet sauce. What i love about this is that the chef cook it till its just nice done. I ordered this dish twice on separate occasion. Once was a pretty big one during a no so busy time and a medium small one on a busy day. Both turns out perfect doneness. If you hate your sotong to be rubbery, you won't be disappointed here. The sauce is simple and i think simplicity brings out the best in this dish.
(Signature) Otah Fish. This is pretty new to me, spreading otah paste (without mince fish) on top of a fish, steamed. End result is a very soft and juicy fish with very aromatic smell and flavour full of refreshing herbs spices (kaffia lime leaf is prominent here). Not spicy, easily the best dish in this restaurant. However be prepared to wait as this takes some time to steam. And also check the price with the boss too. Different size different price, don't assume!
Largest satay in Singapore? Chicken Satay. Big chunk of chicken leg meat grilled with black sweet sauce then sprinkle with some fried shallot. The flavour reminds me of the ayam panggang i used to love in Plaza Singapura food court. I'm not sure how "grilled" is this as the satay stick looks pretty clean. More like finish in oven type of satay. But still not bad, worth a try.
With 3 protein im introducing here, plus a veggy or 2 (the eggplant looks good), it will be a really great meal. Lime juice is $2.50 a cup, try to go easy on the sambal chili. Hahaha...
