Tebet has much to be grateful: this basic, laid-back, two-storey semi-permanent restaurant, with its once bustling, productive kitchen that made light of churning out dish after tasty dish with lightning speed to an adoring clientele, as well as the H. Mamink Daeng Tata empire next door and around the area, has done much to reinforce the area’s reputation as a Makassar cuisine stronghold. The world is ever more plural now, and the clientele has subsequently dwindled, but the food still merits a look: the fried rice with crabmeat comes slightly burned on top, which is the way regulars prefer it, and the squid in butter sauce is agreeably savoury. Best is the no-holds-barred stir-fried convolvulus in oyster and spicy black bean sauce, still every inch as palatable as it was five, six years ago.
The Makassar influence is less palpable in dishes requiring tomatoes and other tangy lifters such as a rather insipid dish of prawns in spicy Padang sauce or the no-holds-barred stir-fried convolvulus in oyster and chilli sauce. The quality of the house specialty, grilled fish, has also slipped, no matter how much sweet soy sauce spiked with slices of raw chilies and zesty condiment made of pickled shallots, onions, tomatoes and chillies you drizzle on it. Renovations underway.
Price range: Around Rp 60,000 - Rp 100,000 for 2
