What customers say?

“ Bakso is good, with well-cooked meatballs. However, the MSG in the soup is very overwhelming. Their sambal is delicious, with good hint of belacan (shrimp paste) in it. The restaurant itself is generally clean, with plenty of seats around. They also serve nasi campur for lunch for those who prefer that. Price is affordable. ”

“ The food was very nice.. I love the sambal.. I wish the bakso in a little bigger bowl and the bihun noodle a bit undercooked for me. ”

“ Been here twice already. The service is great, so is their food. Forget the ordinary nasi lalapan that is available everywhere in Miri- this place is better. If you crave real authentic Indonesian ???????? food, you must come here. Some must haves are- Es Buah (RM5.00), iced concoction of at least 6 or 7 types of fruits lathered in milk and syrup. Es Teler/Es Campur (RM5.00), just like Es Buah but Es Teler has avocado and Es Campur has Dawet (some worm-like thingy made of glutinous rice flour). You can also have the Dawet as-is as Es Dawet (RM4.00). Bakso. Meatball soup, with the regular one having one large meatball and 5 small meatballs and some noodles (Bakso biasa, RM7.00). Also available Bakso Beranak (RM13.00) which is a huuuuuge meatball filled with some smaller meatballs. Batagor (RM7.00), fried tofu, fish sausages, fritters and a boiled egg on top lathered with sweet and sour sauce. Rujak buah (RM5.00), fruits served with fresh rujak sauce. Soda gembira (RM4.00)- Sprite with syrup, milk and a slice of lemon . Gorengan (Fritters, 3 for a ringgit)- traditional Indonesian snack that includes veggie fritters and fried tempeh. Tahu isi (tofu stuffed with fish fillings, 50 sen each) is also available. Also available- mie ayam, swikee, regular Indonesian fare like nasi goreng and mie goreng, and surprisingly, Indonesian drinks like Teh Botol, Extra Joss and Kuku Bima. Some ordinary Malay fares are also served. PRO TIP: This place is open 24-7 so Mirians have another 24-hour eatery to try for. There are two types of seating, the one is ordinary tables, and another one is the lesehan, some kind of a Javanese setting with only tables and no chairs. You can pay with Indonesian rupiah (to date it's 3600 rupiah per ringgit). And lastly, of course they serve nasi lalapan here. ”
