Live Report from the BBQ Sesh, No Fluff
The atmosphere in the restaurant is just that kind of comfortable and clean vibe, not some flashy, influencer-style decor, but it feels very reassuring to bring family and kids, very chill[1]. We ordered their set menu that costs a little over 200k, and it came with a pretty complete selection.
Army Stew (Budae-jjigae)[2] came out first to warm us up, bubbling and steaming, and was generously filled with ingredients. The main event, of course, was the BBQ meat. Their Beef Belly (Beef Belly)[3] was very fresh, and the sizzling sound on the grill was so therapeutic! The portion size was just right, or 'porsi pas'[4] as they say in Indonesian, it won't stuff you to death, but it's definitely satisfying.
The biggest surprise was the BBQ dipping sauce (sambel grill), it was seriously Mantap![5] The balance of sweet, sour, and spicy was perfect, and paired with the charred, fragrant beef belly and lettuce, one bite and I was instantly blown away!
Real Talk…
Halfway through the meal, I finally understood why the Google reviews were so high. Turns out, if you write a review after your meal, you can get a free keychain[6]😂. Hahahaha, I give this marketing strategy a perfect score, the owner is a genius! Although it's a bit of a 'gimmick', to be fair, the food has to be good in the first place, otherwise, no freebie would make a difference.

- A 5.0 Google score from 2200+ reviews. So good they keep it just by giving out keychains[1]. Respect!
