Warung Malang Club — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

🇮🇩 Having lived in Indonesia for a collective 8+ years in the past, I’m especially a stickler for authenticity in my Indonesian cuisine - ie. the flavours and the spice MUST NOT be toned down to suit local palates, the eatery needs to be unapologetic of its authentic recipes and serve them as it would as if in Indonesia!

🍛 There are no shortages of “Indonesian” restaurants in Hong Kong 🇭🇰, especially in the Causeway Bay area.. and quite a handful have good 4+ ratings on Google. The devil is however in the details - ie. you want to pick the ones rated well and called out as “authentic” by what would appear to be Indonesian names, not those with local Hong Kong Chinese names (mine obviously excluded) 😁..“Warung Malang” is one of them! My go to spot whenever I have a craving for “Nasi Campur” where I get to pick from a selection of delicious dishes from Kari Ayam to Telor Balado, Cabe Ijo to Sayur Lodeh.. And their Rawon Sapi is also amazing! 😻

Note: BTW, don’t worry about the “Members Only” sign.. everyone...

Very small place like a little canteen that had a board outside saying members only but allowed us in and am I glad! U got to go and try their beef rendang curry with rice. Best rendang curry ever which was bursting with flavours. A bit spicy but such tender meat pieces that was cooked to perfection. We also had their traditional Indonesian drinks that was soothing after having this spicy dish. Too bad I was in Hong Kong only for a day. I would definitely go back to this halal restaurant if I am in Hong Kong next in sha Allah. I went with fellow food blogger m_plus5 from YouTube who reviews halal food and am so glad he recommended this...

It was a wonderful experience visiting here. The food was authentic and delicious, the quantity was sufficient, and the rates were reasonable. Tried Nasi Ayam Goreng (Deep fried chicken with rice), Nasi Bebek Goreng (Deep fried duck with rice), Satay chicken, and mixed soup. These were super delicious. The drink Es Campur was a treat to have. It included tapioca pearls and jelly, coconut milk, ice, and syrups, and was one of the most delicious drinks I've ever had. Definitely a place worth visiting...
