Appreciate the small yet meaningful gesture, upon entrance customers are more than welcome to enjoy special welcome drink of jamu (Indonesian herbal drink) and I bet the first thing you'll see is this display of tempting Indonesian feast that's mostly spicy and rich in seasoning, that you can choose based on what you feel like having that time, and that's the main order method of the restaurant (aka Prasmanan style), customers get to pick what they want, then have them delivered to the table. I felt like having everything as everything looks so spicy and delicious.
They focus in serving Indonesian cuisine with the emphasize on Javanese cuisine.
Ayam Bakar (grilled chicken)
Cumi (squid)
Sate Telur Puyuh. WOW!
The concept/decoration of Warung MJS is definitely quirky and one of a kind it's almost a statement, just don't be fooled by their facade!! The whole restaurant's pretty spacious and each spot has different decoration concept and vibe, I fancy the outdoor area with the pool and bridge the most, but the way to get to the outdoor area is almost like a journey with the owner, there's a particular area where it's filled with the owner's 'footprints' at the countries he's been, another area is filled with soysauce collection from all over Indonesia. Overall the deco is rich in culture, over the top but with a twist of personal.
Eyegasmic interior, very Instagenic I must say.
Another freebies for guests near the bridge, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!!!
Everything I had for lunch in one frame! Beast much. You know, typing this post is hard as I am really craving for the meals! PS as you're waiting for your food to be delivered to your table, you can munch on the free crackers (kerupuk). Okay let's dive in to the food review!
First things first, they offer selection of Nasi Putih (white rice), Nasi Merah (red rice) and Nasi Uduk (fragrant coconut rice)
Sambal Demit - IDR 12k
Their Sambal Demit is A MUST!
Their Sambal Demit is A MUST!
Another personal favorite of mine, the uber tasty Ayam Setan! Chicken cooked in chili, seasoning, herbs and basil, beware as this is pretty spicy but seriously addicting, the kind of food that I just can't enjoy without rice!
Ayam Kunci Special - IDR 23,8k, Sapi Gendeng - IDR 33,6k, Oseng Kecipir - IDR 18,2k
Side dish to accompany the rice: as an avid fan of krecek (and for having good palate towards it), this was not disappointing: savory, spicy with the nice airy consistency. Love.
Fried tofu, soya bean cake and anchovy together cooked in homemade chili seasoning.
Beef stew cooked in fragrant and beautifully seasoned turmeric coconut milk curry, beef stew was so tender!
Have told you guys a thousand times how I always need soup to accompany my meals, not sure why but it's almost mandatory, especially for this occasion where most of the food that I had here was spicy! This was pretty refreshing after all the spicy goodness and neutralizes my palate back.
Es Kopi Susu Bu Lurah (greng, stronger coffee) - IDR 22k
Susu Coklat Bu Lurah - IDR 29k
Have been hearing buzz about their kopi susu so I guess while I was there in Warung MJS I should have this to give my opinion about it, and I wasn't disappointed at all! Infact I kinda like them! It's clearly not one of those overly strong burnt tubruk coffee with milk, they're more to the mild creamy side with proper amount of coffee and milk which make them balance, a simple decent thirst quencher for the hot day that moment, as for the ice chocolate, also not bad, rich chocolate, creamier (and milkier) in texture compared to the ice coffee, but since I am more a coffee person, if you want me to choose then I root for the ice coffee.
