Evidenced by the lunch and dinner crowds at Kembang Goela Restorant was ready for another Indonesian Restaurant. The menu was quite impressive and the service is very good, despite the crowded tables. The restaurant was always filled with diners enjoying their somewhat fires at traditional dishes, such as Huzarensalade-carrot, beet, pineapple, apple, green peas dressed with homemade Dutch sauce; Asem-asem Iga-Boiled New Zealand Ribs in Tamarind Sauce, or the Yuyu Djeroek Bali-Fried Soft Shell Crab Fresh served with Balinese Orange Salad to start the meal. Don’t miss a-must-try delicious and generously portioned Nasi Langgi Lima Serangkai. Also tasty was a deceptively innocent looking Oedang Kapiten Jongker-Fried King Prawn served with special black pepper, shallot & garlic sauce which is spicy enough. This quality did not obscure the rich, complex flavors of the dish. Another scrumptious taste treat was the Bebek Boemboe Lengkoas. A find way to end a meal at Kembang Goela is with Poffertjes Van Orange and Baked Banana, all of which were wonderful. Every dish I’ve ever tried at Kembang Goela was exceptional; I’ve been back numerous times, as it’s almost addictive. Kembang Goela is a great venue to dine with friends, but make sure you make reservations.
