Sari Ratu Kelana Jaya

November 22, 2008

Suddenly we felt the craving for nasi padang and the first place that came to mind was the Sari Ratu restaurant in Kelana Jaya. Right after Pasha woke up from his afternoon nap, the three of us headed over to the restaurant. It was almost empty when we got there as it was already past 2pm. That’s good!

Below are the food and drink that Mama Diah ordered. By the way, they somehow do not serve nasi padang the way they serve it back in Indonesia. It is more like having nasi campur or nasi kandar here where we just order what we want unlike the real nasi padang where they would just put everything on the table and you just eat whatever you want to eat and leave the rest untouched.

From left to right, ayam bakar, which is Mama Diah’s favorite chicken dish, gulai nangka (jack fruit), gulai telur (egg), chicken soup, which is meant for Pasha, sambal merah and a glass of honey dew juice.

Now these are what Papa Bear ordered.

From left to right, gulai pucuk ubi, udang petai (prawns), ayam pop and a glass of honey lemon. The ayam pop was not as good as the one that we always had in Jakarta or Dumai but considering that this is the only place that sells it, it was better than nothing…

Two pictures of Mama Diah and Pasha eating. Nowadays Pasha would not want to seat in the baby chair anymore. He prefers to sit on our lap. The third picture is Papa Bear and Pasha at the cashier and the last picture showing the missing “D” on the word “RESERVED” on the parking sign. With such good food, who cares about the missing “D” anyway…

That’s what you get when you feed your child properly. Pasha trying out Mama Diah newly bought sunglasses while on the way to Sunway Pyramid after a great lunch!

So, if you miss or want to try a decent nasi padang, that is the closest to what you can get in Indonesia, head over to Sari Ratu.
