my review:
if we read again, hmm, it really remind us of olden days in Semarang. all the menus are written in old Indonesian language (Keboen aka Kebun(garden)). as a complimentary, we are given cassava chips and beras kencur jamu. (for me,i prever the chips only cause i am not really fond of those jamu thingy). as i stepped into this restaurant, i could sense the flavor of what Semarang used to be hundreds of years ago. the decoration, i must say, is the best! two thumbs up! and they also kept antiques which commonly used by woman those days such as bicycle, baby trolley(God, I wish i could have it!), bottles and even they made one dining room exactly as old dining room supposed to be.

now to the food. i only have two pictures cause i haven't had a chance to take so many pictures but maybe it'll represent of all the food itself. i ordered two (the chicken gordon blue belongs to my uncle) 'Ayam Asap' and 'Ikan Gurame Bakar'. wanna know what's on my mind when i saw those two cuisine as soon as it was served by the waitress??? a piece of art, i'd rather say. the food was superb!!! excellent! the meat of the chicken really tasty and soft (unlike other) and the flavor really kicks out! while for the Gurame Bakar i must say it's really sweet (probably they added too much ketchup on it) but i loved it! Ayam Asap served with rice and vegetables. and the 'sambal' too! phew...really 'crikey' ^^ haha...

overall, i really recommend this restaurant to all of you who probably someday, at Semarang and looking a nice place to dine...
lunch or dinner? no problem!
just like Mr. Bondan used to say: 'Pokoke MakNyus!' hahaha...
