Singapore｜Pondok Jawa Timur

[updated: i visited agn for lunch and was happi. ordered P2 dis time rd] their rendang beef was really good. i ordered the rendang jawa timur which came in 3 big cubes. for a small eater like me, i could only finished 2.5 cubes with white rice. the lady at the counter was really nice to offer me a glass of warm water when i told her im not ordering any drinks. would return agn next time to try other dishes.

Good food, good service. I’ve been here twice now & the latest one was on a Friday night peak dinner hour. There was a queue of people waiting outside. Despite the restaurant being very crowded, the staff were still attentive and the food quality good. Pricing was also wait, not expensive for what it is in Singapore. To me, their peanut sauce tastes a bit more coconut-y like they’ve added coconut oil to it perhaps, just FYI. Overall, genuine tastes and my favourite was the Ayam Penyet. Recommend!

It's quite rare to find Jawa Timur dishes in SG and this place has been my go to place if I'm craving for good Indonesian and Jawa Timur dishes. Some of my favorites include the bakwan jagung, mee goreng and nasi goreng jawa, and the sate ayam. Coming from Jawa Timur, I would say that the taste of the dishes is pretty authentic. The price is reasonable for the area and service is fast.
