specializes

local
Indonesian
seafood,

17the
year
and
counting…when

i
make
sure
to
visit
this
sea
food
paradise
especially
with
a
particular
focus
on
crab
prepared
with
enticing
flavors
such
as
pepper
sauce
and
Padang
sauce.
This
culinary
haven
also
offers
a
delectable
selection
of
grilled
prawns,
grilled
fish,
and
a
variety
of
other
mouthwatering
seafood
dishes.
Here's
my
review
of
this
hidden
gem.
To
kick
off
my
meal,
I
always
opt
for
the
signature
dish:
Indonesian
crab
with
pepper
sauce.
The
crab
was
cooked
to
perfection,
with
succulent,
tender
meat
that
practically
melted
in
my
mouth.
The
pepper
sauce,
with
its
harmonious
blend
of
flavors,
added
a
delightful
kick
to
the
dish
without
overpowering
the
natural
sweetness
of
the
crab.
It
was
truly
a
culinary
masterpiece
that
showcased
the
rich
flavors
of
local
Indonesian
cuisine.
Next,
I
decided
to
explore
the
Padang
sauce
option.
The
crab
bathed
in
this
aromatic,
slightly
spicy
sauce
was
a
revelation.
The
Padang
sauce,
known
for
its
robust
and
complex
flavors,
beautifully
complemented
the
freshness
of
the
seafood.
Each
bite
was
a
burst
of
tantalizing
sensations
that
left
me
craving
for
more.
Moving
on
to
the
grilled
prawns,
I
was
impressed
by
their
sheer
size
and
the
smoky
aroma
that
filled
the
air
as
they
sizzled
on
the
grill.
The
prawns
were
perfectly
cooked,
retaining
their
natural
juiciness
and
tenderness.
The
restaurant's
seasoning
showcased
the
prawns'
flavors,
enhancing
them
with
just
the
right
amount
of
seasoning
that
didn't
overpower
the
delicate
taste
of
the
seafood
itself.
Finally,
I
couldn't
resist
trying
the
grilled
fish,
which
turned
out
to
be
a
highlight
of
the
meal.
The
fish
was
incredibly
fresh
and
flaky,
with
a
subtle
smoky
flavor
from
the
grill.
The
accompanying
sauce,
thoughtfully
crafted
to
enhance
the
fish's
natural
taste,
provided
a
burst
of
tanginess
and
a
hint
of
spices
that
left
me
thoroughly
satisfied.
Throughout
my
dining
experience,
the
restaurant's
attentive
and
knowledgeable
staff
ensured
that
I
had
a
memorable
time.
They
were
more
than
happy
to
provide
recommendations
and
offer
insights
into
the
local
seafood
specialties,
making
the
entire
meal
a
delightful
journey
of
discovery.

you're
a
seafood
lover
looking
for
an
authentic
and
unforgettable
dining
experience

Jakarta,

restaurant
is

absolute
must-visit.
From
the
delectable
Indonesian
crab
prepared
