Got in touch (yet again) with my Indonesian side the other night when I went to Bali & Spice. I do enjoy Indonesian food occasionally. Not to say that I don't, but I don't have it on a regular basis, though it's almost always good when I do.

That being said, I love my tempe, I do. Loves it. During my visit here, I had the Siap Megoreng. I had the Siap Mepanggang in Ole Ole Bali before, which I enjoyed, and I enjoyed this too, but I thought I should have taken something different.

Yes, they are the same as Ole Ole Bali. In fact, a fellow Tastemaker (hi Alyssia! @alyssia for her reviews) told me that Bali & Spice was originally called Waterlily, and they were located in Tropicana. You could see that the menu was about the same if not exactly the same. I don't know their menu by heart so I wouldn't be able to tell.

I wasn't that hungry, but man, I polished it off. Well, close to polishing it off. I had to show some manners to my fellow dining mates 😂 but good fried half chicken marinated with lemongrass. Served with tempe and yellow rice, I assumed turmeric, though I may be wrong. And sambal terasi! Not too sure what it is, but it's almost always there at Indonesian restaurants.

Try the other dishes like the lamb stuff and pasta too, heard it's good. Guess who will be paying another (one or two or more) visit(s)! 😋
