Ayam Goreng Jakarta Restaurant




Address: 275 Anzac Parade, Kingsford
phone: 9663 4430.

Places like this could survive exclusively on the patronage of local students. The formula's simple: give them the food from home, make sure it's authentic and welcome them in for repeat visits. But we all get lucky when these places tailor their food to this market because it's good, delicious and affordable. You could be in downtown Jakarta in this simple eatery: plastic plates, embossed plastic tablecloths, cutlery in stainless steel boxes on the tables along with bottled sauces and a box of tissues. A mirror-tiled dado reflects the plasma-screen TV on one wall. Ayam means chicken, so it's no surprise that bird features heavily: marinated breasts or thighs, grilled or deepfried $5, or satay with rice cakes $8. Fried or battered squid are $10. A huge portion of kwetiaw sirem fat, slippery stirfried noodles with a flavoursome mixture of egg, bok choy, sliced fish balls and meat is $9. This is bargain dining, with only one dish over $10.
