Discover a hidden gem in Bekasi that feels like a Balinese resort! Kampung Kecil offers a stunning escape with its Sundanese-style village design, featuring gazebos over a tranquil pond. Perfect for photos, family dinners, or just chilling with friends. This popular spot serves authentic Indonesian cuisine at "people's prices," delivering a king's taste without breaking the bank. It's an affordable, picturesque dining experience that offers incredible value for both its ambiance and its delicious food.
For real, if my friend hadn't dragged me to Bekasi, I probably would have completely missed this hidden gem of a restaurant. Hearing the name Kampung Kecil (Little Village), I thought it was some kind of farm-to-table place, but the moment I walked in... Anjay! The vibe is absolutely incredible, it doesn't feel like you're in Bekasi at all, more like stumbling into a resort in Bali.
The whole restaurant is like a meticulously designed Sundanese-style village, with wooden gazebos (Saung) scattered around a pond, surrounded by lush greenery. When the lights come on at night, the atmosphere gets super Chill[1]. Whether it's a family dinner with kids or friends looking for a place to Nongkrong, this place is perfect for it. Every photo you take looks like a masterpiece.
Does the food live up to the scenery?
Absolutely! Their slogan, “Rasanya Ngeraja - harganya Ngerakyat” (The taste of a king, the price of the people), is no joke[2]. The menu focuses on authentic Indonesian Sundanese flavors, and the prices are so affordable it's touching.
We ordered a few things randomly, and surprisingly, there were no misses at all!
But to be fair, the overall taste is Mantap, but some of the fried items, like the fried chicken, were a tiny bit salty for someone like me who prefers lighter flavors[3]. It's just right when eaten with rice, though. I guess you could call it a small imperfection.
- Pecel Kampung[4]: The signature must-order! The peanut sauce is super generous, the flavor is explosively rich, and paired with fresh vegetables, it's such a great appetizer.
- Ayam Suwir[5]: Shredded chicken, fried until crispy and fragrant to the bone. It's super delicious with rice, I could finish a whole plate by myself.
- Es Teler[6]: The GOAT of after-dinner desserts! It has avocado, jackfruit, and coconut jelly. One bite cools you right down, instantly cutting through any richness. So refreshing!
