Asap Restaurant is a fastfood kind restaurant below the Hendell Culinary Group which has opened some big restaurant in Palembang's mall. Asap means smoked in English which is the main focus of this restaurant that mainly serve smoked poultry using Indonesian spices.

The Menu

I think the menu book was really gross for the restaurant that just opened for a few weeks. What a shame!

Nasi Campur Bali  - Rp. 37.000

We ordered the restaurant's favourite, Nasi Campur Bali. Basically, it was just rice with some meat elements. The chilli was spicy, the chicken and the fish 'pentul' was delicate and flavorful with the rich taste of the Bali spices. It was good, though not as good as the one I had in Bali.

Grilled Smoked Bird - Rp. 19.000

I supposed to taste the smoky and tender bird, right? But, it was not smoky at all, just like a normal grilled bird. Plus, it was tough and not juicy at all.

Grilled Smoked Duck - Rp. 27.000

Same to the bird, the duck was not smoky at all. In addition, they did not success to get rid of the duck meat odor. Usually, I love to eat duck, but the duck here was a big NO NO. It was so smelly and the meat of the duck was less than the skin. Oh noooo!

Karedok - Rp. 15.000

The karedok was fresh and good. They also cut the vegetables smaller so it easier to us to eat it. And, the peanut sauce was delicious with a bit spicy taste in it.

Overall, the taste was just so so. The service was quite good, the food come faster than we thought. But maybe because there was just a few people eating on that day. For me, the price was quite expensive since the taste was so so and the portion was not that big for such price.
