Minangkabau people don't eat pork. Please don't be disrespectful by taking over the restaurant from previous owners and keeping the name (and fame they built up) but adding pork to the menu. I'm quite surprised and shocked the new owner(s) made this decision year ago. Why di ALL rice tables (minus the vegetarian ones of course) have pork in them?!
Knowing there are so many the great Indonesian vegetarian dishes it's sad to see only a few made it to the menu. That said it's surprising to see there are two different veggie-rice tables on the a la carte and rice tables menus. I find the the "Putri Solo" rice table has just too many non-Indonesian dishes..

The server received us very badly (it's a new one that we see for the 1st time) he imposes on us what to take and not to take in a very dry way and without empathy. Looks like he has a target to hit no more no less. We were stressed and quickly ordered something else due to his bad behavior. Finally he brings us back the 2 cold dishes. Not delicious low quality. Inedible and when we proclaim our displeasure. No apologies or commercial gestures. Result: Frustration and a fine of 2 uneaten meals. I will never go back to this restaurant which only seeks to raise money without worrying about the customer and the quality of the service or the dishes. Very bad experience unfortunately for them and...
Read moreA true legendary Indonesian restaurant in Rotterdam! It's run by Chinese (efficient, polite) and caters for loyal clientele who are mainly Dutch. However the food is good. The fried noodles (bakmi goreng) is authentic and scrumptious. Located at Kralingse Plas and the restaurant has a commanding view of the lake. Highly recommended. If you are not familiar with Indonesian food (I was born and raised in Indonesia) you can always opt for Dutch-influenced item such as tomato soup and combine it for example with...
