The mie ketoprak here is a revelation—its broth alone could stand alongside the finest soups anywhere. Clear yet profoundly savory, it carries the unmistakable depth of slow-simmered beef, layered with a natural umami that lingers. The bowl comes generously furnished: supple sausages, crisp tempeh, tender cubes of tofu, golden fritters, and cuts of beef that ground the dish in heartiness. A squeeze of fresh lime adds a subtle brightness, while the accompanying karak lends a satisfying crunch. It is a composition both abundant and balanced, and easily the kind of dish one would return for again and again.

If you’re visiting, I’d recommend coming just for the desserts. The Nini Thowong ice was nothing special, and the es teler was just average. The place is quite spacious, with comfortable air-conditioning, and service was quick. They offer plenty of varieties of comfort food and desserts, so there’s something for everyone to try.

Great desserts. The es was really good. For the savory food, although each component are good, I don't think it's worth it. Big rice portion with little lauk for its price.
