“ The meat is tender and the soup kambing is good. Tongseng is a bit too sweet and they didnt cook it properly so the texture is not good. They have limited menu, since they specialized in sate only. Price is a bit high. 10K rupiah for 1 stick of sate. ”
“ The best lamb satay I have ever eaten. Very tender, juicy and fresh ( no typical lamb meat smell) The lamb soup is also very good. All meats is very well cooked and seasoned. The price is reasonable. Parking is easily accessible. ”
“ It’s a well known lamb satay stall since my akong’s still young. Hehe. Indo peranakan style embedded into their masterful dishes. Be it gule (lamb curry soup), sop (clear lamb soup), and variety of satay. Everything in here is godlike. So delicious. -edited- Sep/2022; a portion of delicious satay is 100K. Can order ½ or mix with Liver/Heart. Best to eat with sweet soya, shallots & chili padi (rawit), can also add or mix with peanut sauce for extra oomph. Gule Kambing (45K 1/2 portion) is so decadent and rich on coconut milk, savory, succulent meat, tender and strong spices taste. If you’re feeling fancy, ordee their Has Dalam (tenderloin) Satay (14K each). It’s truly Kobe Beef of lamb melt-in-your-mouth experience. ”
“ Kim Tek has been around for a long time. The place is small and quite hot. The food is tender and doesn't smell like mutton. The soup is also very good. Price is above average of its kind. The place is usually full of customers during lunch and dinner. The parking lot is very limited. ”
“ One of best place to eat goat satay in the town, expensive but worth the price, The place have renovated and it is quite better from before i think, there are no ac here for reason i guess. They also have open for more than decade and still keeping their satay taste delicious. ”
