IR1968 offers classic Indonesian recipes in a comfortably elegant setting.
Gado-gado, a traditional salad of bean curd, bean sprouts, cabbage, cucumber, lettuce, potatoes, eggs & prawn crackers with a thick, nectarous peanut sauce. Awesomely addictive.
Perkedel Jagung (shrimp corn cake). Light, fluffy and not oily at all, with a natural, subtle sweetness derived from both the shrimp and the corn.
Three varieties of satay: chicken, beef & mutton. Wonderfully tender and well-marinated.
Semur lidah. Succulent ox tongue, with a meatiness reminiscent of Wagyu beef cheeks.
Perhaps the only Indonesian restaurant in KL that serves wine.
IR1968,
Terrace @ Hock Choon,
Lorong Nibong, Off Jalan Ampang.
Oooh, high end Indon food. Looks interesting, been ages since I wandered to Hock Choons.
ReplyDeleteboo: yeah, been waiting ages for this outlet to open! there's a lot of other good stuff on the menu, including a whole bunch of curries...
ReplyDeleteAhh..but do i want to spend so much on Indon food? Hmm...
ReplyDeletetng: yeah, prices are slightly higher than brisik @ jaya one. let's see ... the satay was RM18 for six sticks, the gado-gado was also RM18, the perkedel was RM15, the semur lidah was RM32...
ReplyDeleteI think I shall like this place.

lemongrass: yeah, the wine glasses really caught our attention too. easier to handle than the usual glasses =) well, it's only a 20-minute drive from your office for lunch :D
ReplyDeleteooh this is very interesting. Indonesian food with wine and nice ambience!
ReplyDeleteira irs.. LOL, sounds really interesting that name.. but one which i will forget easily la.. unless u bring me to eat there often. will ya? will ya bring me?! :P
ReplyDeletei wan the corn cakes, esp after the ones i had in melbourne, eventhough ones technically western and the other indonesian
ReplyDeletethere's so many new places popping up. This looks worthy for a visit. BTW, which restaurant in terrace @ hock choon do you think is the best till date?
ReplyDeleteeiling: yeah, indonesian food isn't my favourite cuisine, but it's nice to have once in awhile...
ReplyDeleteciki: come into the city, then we can go! =)
joe: yeah, corn cakes are tasty, both western and eastern-style! :D
augustdiners: hmmmm i'm biased, cos i like italian food the best, so i'd choose il divo :D
Looks lovely! But i've always had a dilemma about spending alot of money on Malay or Indo food. But things looks good here though. BFF, bling me!
ReplyDeleteqwazymonkey: oh yeah, it's definitely possible to get equally good malay/indonesian food elsewhere at lower prices. but i guess this is a nicer place to linger for a few hours during lunch or dinner =)
ReplyDeleteRM3 for each stick of satay.. whoo..ok ;)
ReplyDeletetng: yikes, i actually dunno how much a stick of satay costs at the hawker stalls!
