Also last but not least, I don't know before for the payment in here its not accepted for the Credit Card, Debit Card, by ScanQR / QRIS, etc. Its Cash Only, so that I need to go to ATM to withdrawal the money first then paid for it.

The place it self is kinda spacious, but quite hot since the AC is not working well. There are only several table for smoking room...
Read moreThe food is sublime! I tried the Nasi Kebuli Kambing and Kambing Mugalgal. The meat is tender-cooked, perfectly seasoned. Seasonings in the rice is not as strong as Nasi Kebuli in general. But for my preference, it's perfectly seasoned. The service are great. The atmosphere itself kinda gives me old restaurant, as the room lighting is not bright. But nevertheless, I will definitely visit again (or maybe I can...
