I think it was my second visit, bcz the first time I came here I was a bit doubtful for the dish. (Lemme tell you later). It only serves Tahu Tek, yes, fried tofu with bean sprouts, steam rice cake (tipat) and Indonesian peanut sauce. From my first visit: I only tasted their "sambal petis" (the black sauce) and garlic. After that experience I learnt to tell the seller/cashier all of my requests, so it suits my appetite. So, my second visit, all was good. The price is affordable starting from only IDR 12.000 and you may add fried egg as an extra topping. The drink menu are like iced coconut water, iced tea, kolak (if im not mistaken), mineral water as well. They have several tables indoor with fan, the place is clean and fine. They prepare the food at the front place, and it is open so ppl could enjoy to watch their menu cooked. This place is located in Diponegoro shopping complex near ex-tragia (if you're Kodya kids, you'll know it), the parking lot is available but charged, and it opens in the afternoon from 4 p.m (if im not mistaken) to 11 p.m. What makes this Tahu Tek different is maybe the peanut sauce and they add some fried little potatoes as well, it makes something new for me, especially the texture. Their service was okay, the cook listens to what the customers request, so it's a Yes for me. If you're interested to this Tahu Tek, just have a visit and try~ oh, sometimes it's packed after work time.
