Original review: Really nice tasting indonesian food. Good service. A little tough a walk if you can’t do hilly walks but worth the trek if you ask me. The teh es is also nice. Sambalicious! They deliver too. Number on photo. They take cash and card, and speak English, if you don’t want to speak in Bahasa Indonesia. Nasi goreng, Lalapa fried chicken with rice and...
