Buffet at Kintamani Indonesian Restaurant

The last time I was here was probably a little more than a decade back. Kintamani Indonesian Restaurant (3F Furama Riverfront Hotel, 405 Havelock Road, tel : +65 6739 6463) isn't a high profile location and not so many people talk about them. But these guys are known for their Indonesian food buffet which is pretty expensive if one doesn't take advantage of those one for one credit card deals. There's an a la carte menu which isn't cheap that features some of the stuff that doesn't get put into the buffet variety. Likewise, there are regular buffet items like their sayur lodeh that for some strange reasons is not available on the menu.

I don't think these guys were the standards of Sari Ratu. But the food was decent enough. Some of the more memorable include their curried beef tendon, sayur lodeh, telur balado and a surprisingly savoury laksa which one could assemble from a station. There's satay to be had, gado gado which one could customize, kueh lopis where one could shovel as much shredded coconut and drizzle as much palm sugar as you wanted and unexpectedly tasty goreng pisang at the dessert station. All the food was made with delicious gravies and sauces that one cannot help but help themselves to more servings of the nasi puteh and kuning. It wouldn't be just a pun to say that the food was explosive. Haha!
