"One of the most fav place for Nasi Ayam.
I would say this make my top 5 list for it for sure!
The simpleness of the dish, rice and warm soup with chicken meat and savoury sauce makes us craves for another plate every time.
10/10
Worth coming back whenever you are hungry at night!"

"Legendary places especially for street food stalls.
Quite a small portion for 1 plate (need at least 2 or just add on chicken thigh or breast). For me it's a very cheap comfort food (IDR 25.000/portion). I liked their chicken as it's not too sweet, their coconut milk sauce is sweet, I prefer savoury.
Well if you are hungry and nearby. Just go fill your stomach and you won't regret it.
Regards,
Z"
