Kota Lapo Indonesian Street Food — Restaurant in High Peak

I feel harsh rating this place so badly, and was really shocked at how disappointing it was after looking at all the amazing reviews, but it was really poor.

The service was slow, awkward and not very warm or inviting, the food I had was average at best. The crispy chicken wontons smelt like fish and tasted processed.

Truly authentic Indonesian taste! We had the Bakmi Siantar, and it was absolutely spot-on—just like what you'd get back home in Indonesia. Do note that you need to pre-order it a day in advance, but trust me, it’s worth the wait. We also tried the salt and pepper tofu, bakwan jagung, and babi panggang—all of them were delicious and perfectly seasoned.

Service was just as impressive. The owners were kind enough to open the restaurant just for us, even though they had originally planned to close that day to move some things. After dinner, we even had a lovely chat with the owner—such a warm and...
