Nasi Uduk Kebon Kacang Puas Hati ibu Tati — Restaurant in Jakarta

I stumbled upon this place during daytime whilst looking out for a laundry place. It is hidden behind a wall that what looks like a house's wall. I came back at night and decided to have a taste because during daytime this restaurant is packed with patreons! I asked the waiter what's the best served here and he said "we are famous for our fried chicken sir" with a big smile. I take him up for it. Waited for 2 minutes until my drinks are served. I ordered alpukat and dragon fruit juices and damn they are pure fruits. After another 10 minutes of waiting my fried chickens came. I ordered thigh portions and they are the size of an adult quail's thigh. Pretty small for a chicken. But i know this is the portion of Jakarta. A city with people rushing to go somewhere and a time consuming food is not an option here. Took my first bite and i looked at the waiter's face. He smiled at me, i gave him a thumbs up. It is tasty, flavourful, crispy on tge outside but smooth soft on the inside. The mixture of sambal uduk, sambal kacang and saus kacang brings that sweet sour nutty and a tad of hot into my mouth. This place deserves its better review. The minus one is for its a bit less clean but to say it's unclean is not fair as it is an open air/ garage style...

The authentic taste of nasi uduk (rice cooked with coconut milk) from Indonesia. They served village chicken, meat, and innards. Oh and also tempeh and tofu. First, they will served small portion of nasi uduk (4k/cup), peanut sauce, and sambal. Then you need to order side dishes. I recommend ayam bakar (grilled chicken) because for me, the fried one was too dry. Maybe you need to tell the cook not to fry the food for too long. If you want some refreshment you need to order lalapan (raw vegetables consist of cabbage, tomato, cucumber, and lettuce), but remember one lalapan can served for 3 persons normally. Oh and one more thing, the peanut sauce was REALLY GOOD !!! Because I was starving back then, I ate 3 cups of...
