Kembang Goela is among the most famous Indonesian restaurants in Jakarta. They serve traditional food from all Indonesia, with a focus on Peranakan cuisine (see Wikipedia article here).
I went to this place by accident, so I didn't have my usual camera and could not take very good pictures. Nevertheless, you should see that Kembang Goela looks quite elegant, in particular if you get one of the semi-private rooms. They have some antique colonial furniture, old photographs on the walls, and all kind of flowers everywhere. I don't advise you to eat in the main room though since it is pretty noisy and lacks coziness.
We had a few dishes, but I only took pictures for a few of them:

| Bebek Bumbu (Rp82,500++) |
 |
| Buntut Balado (Rp110,000++) |
 |
| Home Made Strawberry Sorbet (Rp27,000++) |
 |
| Poffertjes Van Orange (Rp25,000++) |
Overall: The food was excellent and well-presented, but I found the total bill to be quite expensive for an Indonesian restaurant (Rp200,000 per person for a 3-course meal with drinks). If you are only interested about the food, you may find a few similar restaurants with more affordable prices in the city (for instance, Mbah Jingkrak or Rempah Rempah). Kembang Goela is recommended for those who accept paying a little extra to get a more upscale dining atmosphere.

a real nice place, i used to live near here, many of higher officials are often found eating there. and also many foreigner ..
ReplyDeletevery expensive to dine there, at the rate i paid recently, it is better to dine at the 5 star hotels (which are similar priced but have higher prestige)
