New Cahaya Lestari — Restaurant in Jakarta

New Cahaya Lestari that was used to be called Cahaya Lestari is a legendary Chinese food restaurant which is famous for its delicious Fish Tofu Soup. Cahaya Lestari was located near Lokasari, Mangga Besar. Now, it moves to Kelapa Gading. We came here for my brother birthday dinner, and already reserved the seat via telephone. We got private room that consists of two round tables. For this room, there is no mininum order or charge unless you book for VIP room. The service here is good and friendly. Even the dishes were served fast, it was about 10 minutes after ordering.

Here are what we tried :

Sop Ikan Tahu Small (IDR 142,500) This is the famous and recommended menu here. Milky based soup with steamed gurame fish, tofu, radish, cabbage. It used to be more savoury, but I think this one also still good.

Udang Telur Asin Small (IDR 182,500) Fried shrimp covered with salted egg.

Bakmi Goreng Small (IDR 103,000) For fried noodle, we could choose the meat topping, such as chicken, seafood, or pork. We chose seafood. The typical of Chinese food thick fried noodle with shrimp, fish meatball, fried egg, Chinese chives, bean sprout.

Lindung Cah Fumak (IDR 143,000) Fried and crispy eel sauteed with fumak vegetables and garlic. This one also...

Legendary autenthic Hakka style cuisine! We came here to celebrate birthday, Chinese New Year and also upcoming Cap Go Meh.

All the dishes we ordered met our expectation. Very delicious! Awesome! We ordered: Moy Yan Fried Noodle, Yam Ha, Lindung Cah Fumak, Black Pepper Beef, Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs, Gurame Saos Bangkok. We also ordered Gui Ling Gao as our dessert.

The service is also good: fast, responsive and friendly. Cleanliness is quite okay, but there was a fly flew around our table! After a waitress putting a candle on our table, the fly’s gone. I think this is the only thing this restaurant...

One of the legendary Chinese food restaurant in Indonesia. Their main branch is in Gajah Mada area and they now open also over here in Kelapa Gading area.

Their must try menus are Fish Head soup and Lindung Cah Fumak (fried eel with Fumak veggie) it is sooo good that it is absolutely worth it if you go all the way from your house to here just to eat those 2 menus

The only drawback is they didn't have price on their menu so beware as this is quite an expensive restaurant.. It is still super...
