Riverside Indonesian BBQ (ION Orchard)

Such a joy to eat. Certainly one of the best foods in food courts.

Ikan & Sotong Pangang Set ($8.50):
A good plate of messy-ness- grilled sotong and fish goes well with the lemak-ness of the curry gravy and sambal!

I find myself craving for a nice warm plate of ayam panggang every now and then. The chicken thigh was huge, tender and spiced with a sweet sauce that complemented the curry. The dish comes with a slice of egg but I swapped it for the cabbage. I like that the curry is not surfeiting and leaves you wanting for more!

This brought back memories of standing in line behind snaking queues, at Riverside Indonesian BBQ's food court branch in Plaza Singapura, before movie dates at Golden Village. The smoky smells wafting from their grill would have me simultaneously drooling, while mentally cursing at the long wait before I got my food.

The grilled chicken thigh is still as good as ever here at Food Opera, tender and smoky from the grill and smothered in a sweet black sauce. I like the sides of braised cabbage and omelette as well, but the kicker is the sambal chilli and bowl of lemak curry sauce which you must drench your rice with for maximum shiokness.
