A Hin Chai Kue Panas Siam — Restaurant in Pontianak

We came here after seeing a review video on YouTube. :)

The main highlight at this spot is Chaikue — a traditional savory snack made with a thin rice flour skin and various fillings. But they also serve a few other food and drink options.

It’s only about a 10-minute walk from Hotel Gajah Mada Avara, so super convenient if you're staying nearby.

We ordered both steamed and fried Chaikue. There are four filling options: jicama, garlic chives, taro, and peanuts. We went with the jicama and garlic chives. There’s a minimum order of 5 pieces per type (steamed or fried). The steamed ones are IDR 2K each, and the fried ones are IDR 3K.

Interestingly, unlike the review we watched, we actually preferred the steamed version. Our favorite was the steamed jicama — it had a nice savory flavor and a bit of crunch from the jicama. The garlic chives one was tasty too.

Overall, the flavor was solid — savory, a bit oily (in a good way) with a generous drizzle of sesame oil and a topping of crispy fried garlic.

You can dine in or take your order to go. The place is semi-indoor — it has a roof but open walls facing the street, and no air conditioning. We came around 6 PM and it wasn’t...

Very good food. We enjoy the eating there. The staff speaks was helpfull and speak english. You order in the standard way so just writw down on the paper the quatity of the food that you want to order. On the left side you can find the price. It is not cheap as for Indonesia style, but food is very good so for european for sure it will be not an issue. Try to eat the different types of dumplings. They are tasty and good looking. We eat also the Nasi Goreng in theirs style which were different that original but very good. The juice that we drink is not the best one so you can skip and just order water. Summarize the place is very good and I can recomend it for eating. Close to this place is also cathedral that you can visit after lunch. It was close but even from outside you can still visit a lot. Last thing becarefull with sambal. It this place is really spicy, so even if you like spicy check it before you will add everything to your meal. Aftet the food everything was allright with us. It is quite important because if you will see the eating place in Pontianak you could be suprise a...

Jalan - jalan ke pontianak ga bakalan rela kalo ga nyobain streed food nya. Pusatnya ada di Jl. Gajah Mada dan sekitarnya, salah satunya ya Chai Kue Siam "Ahin" yang berlokasi di Jl. Siam.

Sesuai judul restorannya, di sini yang paling idola chai kuenya alias choi pan. Chai kue nya sendiri ada 2 jenis pengolahan, ada yang digoreng dan ada yang dikukus. Gw pribadi lebih suka yang kukus walaupun teksturnya jadi sedikit oily tapi enak. Hehehe..isiannya juga bisa pilih ni: ada kucai, talas, atau bengkuang kemudian dibalut kulit chai kie yang terbuat dari tepung beras dan ditaburi dengan manja bawang goreng. Sadaappp...

Oke itu tadi pembukaannya, makanan berat kali ini gw pilih kwetiau siram yang isiannya royal banget ga pelit dah..hehehee..dan minumnya juga macem - macem banget, gw pilih cincau susu. Selain kwetiau makanan yang gw suka juga adalah sop kikil.

Dan bagian paling menyenangkannya adalah...harganya yang bener - bener street food friendly ga ada judulnya bikin bokek...harganya murah tapi kualitasnya juara banget. Jadi kalo lagi main ke Pontianak pastiin deh kalian mampir ke sini dan sepanjang Jl. Gajah Mada dan Jl. Siam ibaratnya dapur raksasa kita siap jadi tempat kita bisa icip sana...
