“ Holy Moly! I was so excited because, in all my travels, I've never tried Indonesian food. Trust me when I tell you: I'M HOOKED! After speaking to the lovely Wulan, who advised me on the various sauces, rice etc, I ordered the Semur Rice Bowl with coconut rice and tofu. Never a huge fan of tofu, it's now my new favorite. Wulan informed me that they marinate theirs for 24 hours. I realized that my taste buds had to adjust to all the new flavors and just WOW! My husband and I INHALED our rice bowl and wanted another. Planning to come back and try another dish from this tiny but MIGHTY Indonesian slice of culinary heaven! *Located inside the Urban Hawker * at Midtown. ”
“ Decided to try this spot out in the Urban Hawker food court. Did the build-your-own rice bowl ($15) and chose the coconut rice (+$1), chicken and tofu as protein (costs extra to choose multiple protein) and spicy gulai. I just had them top it off with all the free toppings as this was my first time. Overall this was a very hearty, flavorful, and delicious meal. I personally have never been to Indonesia, but this is what I would envision Indonesian street food would be. ”
“ This place is a food hall specializing in Singaporean and Indonesian cuisine, and I was impressed with the overall experience. The space is vibrant and inviting, with plenty of seating to accommodate groups or solo diners. The lively atmosphere and diverse stalls make it a great spot for anyone craving authentic Southeast Asian flavors. I wasn't too hungry this time, so I decided to try the Chicken Wonton Tacos from the Jakarta Munch stall. These little bites were a delightful mix of textures and flavors. The wonton shell was perfectly crisp, providing a satisfying crunch that paired well with the fresh cabbage slaw. The chicken filling was tangy, savory, and well-seasoned, striking a balance that made each bite incredibly tasty. This was just a small taste of what the food hall has to offer, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to explore the other stalls. ”
