Craving fried duck but not the street-side heat? Discover a stylish restaurant in Tangerang serving insanely tender Bebek Goreng that falls right off the bone. This spot swaps plastic stools for a clean, minimalist design perfect for gatherings. While the duck is a must-try, this honest review also dives into potential downsides like inconsistent flavor and small sambal portions. Get the full scoop, plus tips on parking and scoring discounts, to see if this modern eatery is worth the hype.
A friend asked me out for Bebek Goreng, and my mind immediately pictured a street-side stall, plastic stools, and a fan blowing at full blast. But when we pulled up to this place in Gading Serpong, I was shocked… This doesn't look like a place for fried duck at all, does it? Clean, bright floor-to-ceiling windows, a stylish and minimalist design—I almost thought I'd walked into the wrong place, like some coffee shop. 🧐
The feeling was even stronger once I stepped inside. The space is super spacious, the lighting is great, and it's perfect for a family gathering with young and old[1]. Compared to traditional Indonesian restaurants, this place is like the plus pro max version. You don't have to worry about hygiene at all, and you can comfortably Nongkrong for an entire afternoon.
Is the food any good?
The main event is the duck, of course! We ordered the signature Bebek Goreng (Fried Duck)[2]. Honestly, this duck meat is one of the most tender I've had in Indonesia. It falls right off the bone with a gentle pull, the meat is super soft and juicy, not dry at all. Mantap! 👍
If you have a big group, you can order the Nasi Campur (Indonesian Mixed Rice)[3]. One portion has a bit of everything—fried duck, side dishes, salted egg... The value for money is off the charts. I also tried the Bebek Bakar Madu (Honey-Glazed Grilled Duck)[4], which had a smoky aroma and a pleasant sweet and savory flavor.
But I have to say a few honest words
But to be fair, after all the praise, I have to complain a little. Although the duck meat is tender, one time I came and felt it wasn't marinated enough[5], lacking a bit of soul. Also, a friend had a bad experience, saying that by the end, the oil from the fried duck had a bit of a 'lekak' (a greasy, unpleasant aftertaste). This really depends on your luck, I guess.
As for the price, it's not cheap, and some people feel the value for money has dropped after the price increase[6]. And the sambal, the portion they give is a bit stingy[7]. For a serious chili lover like me, it's nowhere near enough!
Tips to avoid pitfalls & save money 📝
Parking is a huge pain
There's no dedicated parking in front of the restaurant[8], so friends who drive will have to find a spot on the street, which can be a hassle during peak hours.
Sit downstairs if you don't like noise
The upstairs area is spacious, but if you run into a company team-building event or aunties having an Arisan (a social gathering for ladies), the noise is absolutely deafening[9]. For friends who want a quiet chat, I recommend sitting downstairs.
Look out for discounts!
They often have promotions on their Instagram, like birthday discounts and stuff[10]. Ordering delivery via GoFood also frequently has big discounts, so if you're too lazy to go out, you can take advantage of the deals!
