Discover a surprisingly massive restaurant hidden away in the alleys of Blora! This spot is a world of its own with a stunning semi-open design and a magical evening ambiance. It's the perfect choice for big groups and families, featuring a free children's playground so parents can relax. Don't miss their photogenic "flying noodles" and crispy scissor-cut chicken steak. While it gets lively, the unique experience and affordable prices make it a must-visit for a fun outing.
Honestly, following the GPS, winding and turning through the small alleys of Blora, I almost thought the driver was going to kidnap and sell me... Who would've thought that at the end of the alley, there was such a massive restaurant hidden away![1] Anjay! It's literally another world. 🤯
I was blown away the moment I walked in. The whole place is ridiculously huge, all semi-open spaces built with wood and bamboo. When the lights come on at night, the atmosphere is maxed out. There are regular seats, as well as the Indonesian-style lesehan floor-seating area, which is super suitable for a big group of friends to come and nongkrong. The most amazing part is, there's even a free children's playground![2] Families with kids can finally free up their hands, right? That's something you can't even dream of in Jakarta.
The food is also very interesting. I ordered a few of their hyped-up signature dishes:
- Steak ayam gunting[3]: This scissor-cut chicken steak is hyped up for a reason. It's crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with the juices locked in perfectly. Mantap! 👍
- Mie terbang[4]: The legendary "flying noodles." 100 points for presentation, it's super photogenic, and the taste is a crowd-pleasing flavor that can't go wrong.
- Durian goreng[5]: Fried durian! Durian lovers, you have to try this! The filling is super generous, and one bite sends you over the moon with happiness. So sinful, yet so joyful.
Real Talk
But to be fair, it's not all mindless praise. The chicken leg in the Ayam Gepuk[6] was really big, but the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. Also, the broth of the Sei Sapi[7] was a little salty, maybe it's because my palate is on the lighter side. And! This place is super popular; during meal times, it's basically like a local market, so girls looking for a quiet corner to chat might want to think twice [8].
