Bumbu Indonesian Food at Telok Ayer Street

It so happened my ex-colleague and I found jobs right in the heart of CBD, nearby Telok Ayer Street. So we decided to catch up over lunch at Bumbu Indonesian restaurant, a tiny outfit located in a shophouse. I was quite surprised at the interior as it was not designed in the usual Indonesian style. Since it was in a shophouse, the noise was deafening, hence we decided to sit outside and have lunch alfresco.

Expect dishes to start from $8 onwards, which is reasonable for dining at a restaurant. With the 2 of us we ordered 3 dishes and it was way to much for us.

The Gado Gado is mainly made of lightly cooked vegetables topped with peanut sauce, it was a little disappointing, apart from the peanut sauce, which was nice and delicious. My order was the Coffee Chicken which is superbly done. Fried chicken coated with honey. And with Sambal Kang Kong you cannot go really wrong, a spicy kick to an otherwise peaceful life.
