The fasting month ... ! So by 4PM somethin', colleagues at office already buzzing on ideas of where to break the fasting. Yesterday afternoon we decided to go to Ayam Ganthari at Ahmad Dahlan street, Jakarta
The place is strategically located in the corner. The street itself is bustling with restos of all kind, packed and interesting! Anyway, you have to 'book' in advance if u wanna come here, esp. in the afternoon... otherwise it's quite difficult to claim your table and sit. No phone bookings tho'.. u just need to come early!!
I was amazed by the variety of menu offered in this place. From traditional fried or grilled chicken (with soya sauce) to ribs and steak kindda things. I ordered something different, which was a plate of Nasi Tim Ayam... but ... the taste was really 'unrecommendable'. I was dissappointed. The ribs however, was quite good! Soft and chewable, with tasty sauce and cream. The highlight of course, on their trade-mark grilled chicken (traditional grilled chicken) served with rice and veggies.
For drinks, some friends ordered Coconut Ice, which looked (and tasted) good. They had quite a variety of drinks as well on the menu.
In this fasting month, however, they don't serve 'Kolak' or 'a plain tea' to the customers who conduct fasting But it's okay... I think they serve good food, plus it's a nice place with friendly atmosphere, and the service was good. Fast and quite reliable.
