Nelayan — Restaurant in Melbourne

I have been coming over to have a meal here, everytime I travel to Melbourne. But it seems the food standards have gone down and it's less yummy. Taste of food has also turn to normal. It used to taste better and more authentic. The cooks I see in the kitchen are now younger and perhaps less experienced. I ordered a take away Fried Rice Seafood and noticed that the rice wasn't even cooked fully. It was still in the mashy form like barley, and they actually cooked it with the seafood ingredients. My stomach didn't feel good after that. From this time onwards, I've decided to end my regular visits. Indonesian food here is not authentic anymore. I'll give it a pass next time.

It’s been more than a year since we last visited Nelayan Indonesian restaurant. We were a party of ten and granted it was Boxing Day (day after Christmas Day) the main cook maybe on holiday break. Most of us ordered nasi campur or Padang where you select 2-3 dishes from the spread available. Rice was soggy and most of the dishes had no flavour taste except too salty. Empet empet (fish cake dish) was the worst. Fried Fish cake was supposed to be spongy was very soft. the sauce which should be sweet, sour n tangy was just blend and sweet, no flavour at all. The sambal was the only saving grace. It was very disappointing because we love Indonesian food. Hope they will...
