Directions
Awash in a palette of greens and greys, this tranquil room welcomes you with hushed tones and warm, attentive service. Chef-owner Joseph Boon’s Indonesian fare is rich and flavourful, infused with Indian, Arabic, Spanish, Dutch, and Chinese influences. Martabak is a crispy, flaky variant of the beef samosa, a textural contrast to the lush softness of opor ayam, chicken in a delicate white curry. Quench your thirst with coconut water served still in the husk—with or without a shot of rum, it’ll help dial down the heat. Spekkoek with rambutan sorbet is a light, sweet way to round out your meal; also known as Lapis Legit, it’s the Indonesian take on the Dutch multilayered butter cake ($8).
