Totally Rendang

Went here for the second time and it was incredibly delicious! Better experience than the fist time. The beef rendang was cooked perfectly. They said it because it's just freshly made. I ordered regular menu (1 main dish + 2 side dish + sambal) for $13.6 If you miss Padang food, this is definitely the place to cure your homesick.

I just came back for lunch to try their famous beef rendang. Their food a bit tasteless. The jengkol a it overcooked and oily, beef rendang tender but tasteless. I try the dendeng belado which is very salty. But the ice chendol really good! The mixed between sugar and the coconut just right, the firmness of the chendol is good too. Total cost for 1 ice chendol, 2 bottle water and 2 plate of dishes which is a bit small for Australian size is $41.50. I think a bit overpriced.

I heard about this place from a friend and finally tried it this week. I loved it. Had to go back on Saturday. I have tasted Indonesian food all over the world, but it usually doesn’t compare to what you can get in Indo (and I always wonder why). Totally Rendang is different…it’s really really good and tastes like you’re eating in Jakarta or Bali etc. Delishhhhh. I think it’s my new favorite.

I came here for the second time as my foreign friends really want to try this restaurant. From my first experience here, it was 'okay' because of the price thats lil bit high, dont get me wrong, because i based it on the small portion. The second visit, thinking that it surely will be better considering the good reviews on inernet, tbh, i feel embarrased to my friends bcs the portion this time is even smaller :( i order rice with 1 main and 3 sides for takeaway, its almost not even fulfill half of the normal square takeaway container. Paid 15 something for that, and as i order green and red chilli sambal, its just lots of oil in that. Not the most authentic rendang in town (acceptable as maybe the ingredients availability is different from Indonesia). The lady owner that took our orders and the next customers order as well was much less than welcoming. My friends were really excited asking me to talk in Bahasa to her, but when i did, none of Indonesian hospitality was displayed, instead coldly asking us "mau yang mana?" "pake apa" "bagian sini semua sides" "minumnya?" "18.5 dollar" thats it. I understand that sometimes working in the restaurant youre dealing with lots of pressure, but its still a hospitality industry after all. Customers come to enjoy food and service not grumpy faces, especially from the owner.
