It is the perfect balance of richness and freshness- the perfect starter to get your taste buds going! With one bite of this dish, you’d be hungry for more!
Another crowd favourite is their Ayam Panggang ($28.00)! Not only is it crispy, but it is also smoky! This dish is as simple as it sounds, but it is far from basic!

The chicken is perfectly charred, providing a strong smokiness, sweet from the kicap manis and amazingly juicy!
