"Enak nasinya, sayang porsi agak kurang, walaupun sudah porsi jumbo"

"Nasi kuning (literal translation: yellow rice) is one of Indonesian fragrant rice type cooked with turmeric and coconut milk. This is the well-known nasi kuning in Siantan! (Or even in town!) The parking space here is way too small, especially if the choipan/chaikue diner right in front of this small diner is openㅡthat's a small note for those who drive. The auntie selling this nasi kuning is always so warm to customers by having small talks, especially if the customers have been there several times! As for the nasi kuning itself, it is fragrant with several chunks of different types of chicken (fried chicken, sweet and chili sauce chicken, sometimes there is rendang chicken ), one fritter (bakwan or veggies fritter, or sometimes spring roll ), sambal ebi (which is, honestly, too salty for my taste), small slice of egg, and several types of veggies. Tips! Go early, suggested before 12 PM, because it runs out early!"

"It's good, but it's cramped and because it's famous, there too much people. I suggest to take away rather than eat there."
