"SARONG GRILL & CHILL @ #01-03 MILLENIA WALK" - 1st Lunch Tastings - Year 2010

My "regular lunch makan kaki ( eating buddy )" - KIE and myself who have been "on the lookout for traditional Indon cuisine for the longest time" and we decided to check out the above. Juz a "heads up" on the Decor - the owners have "combed thru upmarket eats in Jakarta and decided to introduce a trendy Bali resort style "chill out" dining with casual open air look to enjoy Indon Street Eats ! And their "designer resort Sarong wear" Crew also gave excellent & friendly service with a sweet smiles !

And since it's our first time & their "helpful & chatty" Boss Lady - Mrs.Hau highly recommended us to taste their "signature eats liked SATE,Nasi Tumpeng,Lontong and Cendol" ! We were happy that we may have finally discovered the above that's "truly authentic Indon Eats" especially their Jakarta style - SATE ( Satay ) menu...the basic meats - Beef and Chicken is chunkier,tender and tasty with a lighter marinade ( vs the local Peanut sauce ) enjoyed by dipping Kecap Manis ( thick,sweet sauce ) Instead of ordering it ala carte Sate Menu,we selected their "Two Feet Set" ( $38 for 24 Sticks which also include : Mushrooms & Prawns ) and also their NASI TUMPENG ( Cone Shaped Or Mountain of KUNING or Yellow Rice ) We also tasted their LONTONG ( Rice cakes with vegetables in extra thick & rich Lemak ( Coconut Milk ) gravy & ( with it ) we enjoyed most was the Fried Salted Fish ! ) which much "interesting & tastier" than their Soups or SOPs Madura and Sayur Asam ( maybe when it was served it was not hot enough ! ) Of course for our lunch finale - we tried their BLISSFULLY SWEET - CHENDOL ( acceptable tasting ! ) and PANNA COTTA with Palm Sugar ( Not really that Special or Interesting ! )

Will definitely return soon for DINNER soon to check out their other Signature Eats liked - RENDANG BURGER,TAHU GORENG ISI & TAHU TELOR ! And of course for their "Must Order" - SATE again...probably with my good buddy JL to enjoy their - THREE FEET ( $60 for 36 Sticks )  but i will prefer to enjoy it liked ala YAKITORI style with BEER ( Hopefully their BAR have Asahi Super Dry Beer ! )
