Jtown Cafe (Midpoint Orchard) - Get your Bakmi Ayam fix here!

It was one of those days when you can only be satisfied by a certain meal. For me, I desperately needed Indonesian food. Googling brought me to an Indonesian restaurant at Midpoint Orchard that specialises in Bakmi Ayam (Indonesian Chicken Noodles), so of course I had to go and give it a try!

First of all, I had no idea where Midpoint Orchard was. LOL. It's one of those buildings that never catches your attention when you walk past it!

Initially I was a bit reluctant to bring Kengyang here because he doesn't really fancy overly-salty food, and Indonesian food is, most of the time, overly-salty for a Singaporean palate. But hey, he actually enjoyed the food! I think Jtown Cafe toned down the saltiness a tiny bit, but aiyah still nice!

I ordered the Bakmi Ayam Cabe Ijo (Indonesian Chicken Noodles with Green Chilli). This was so good but so spicy. Halfway through our meal, I could feel some explosive chemical reaction going on in my tummy. HAHA. The serving was humongous and the noodles were spectacular! I think the next time I visit Jtown Cafe, I will just get the normal Bakmi Ayam.

Kengyang ordered the rice version of my dish (Nasi Ayam Cabe Ijo) and I didn't expect him to like it so much! The soup was really good and he said that the spiciness was just nice for him. OK lah, time to bring this guy to Indonesia for more amazing Indonesian food!

We ordered a couple of side dishes as well (we always over order, mehh). Jtown Cafe served Martabak Manis as well, and homg I miss this dessert so freaking much!! We had the mixed martabak with chocolate and cheese, and it was SO GOOD. Serving's a little small though. I wanted more! 

We also ordered Batagor (Fried Indonesian Fish Cake) and this was extremely average. The fish cake was way too doughy and the peanut sauce was too thick. But then again, anything fried is nice, so we still polished this up!

Jtown Cafe is a fuss-free, authentic Indonesian restaurant serving some kick-ass Bakmi Ayam! It's definitely a place I want to go to for my Indonesian Chicken Noodle fix!

Anyway, this is super random but I was ordering yesterday and the situation got kinda awkward. I ordered in Bahasa Indonesia, but she replied in English, even though I heard her speak in Bahasa Indonesia a couple of minutes before. HAHA. I was questioning my Bahasa Indonesia accent big time. :S
