Pondok Selera - Haymarket

I ordered Nasi goreng khas (spicy) and suprised with the taste. It was really good and really 'indonesia '. I definitely will come back and taste another food. Love it!

Yummy Indonesian food, right in the heart of Chinatown. You can't go wrong here, but they can be a little slow at times.

This is a small food stall at a food court, but it offers various tasty Indonesian foods. In the Autumn or Winter, I like to buy Soto Betawi/ Jakarta creamy soup. Do not expect to get much beef meet in this delicious savoury soup, because the price is fairly cheap. The rice portion is generous so that I can not finish eating it by myself. My other favorite is balado ikan/fried fish with generous chilli paste. For me the chilli paste is just right to my liking and if you do not find hot or spicy food is appealing, you can just buy the crispy deep fried fish without the chilli paste. The staffs are friendly ????

Occasionally I grab some Indonesian food from this place. The best one in my opinion is Soto Betawi and the second one is Balado Ikan. The portion is rather too much for me, so that's why I'd rather buy it as take away.

Pondok Selera has been around forever dishing out indonesian, indo-chinese and some token malay food (step fwd fried curry vermicelli, laksa, har mee identified as malaysian prawn noodle soup here as some examples). Portions are huge as usual, prices have crept up but still good value as attested by its stream of customers.
