Rizki Huslapini Kurniawan calls it the “best in town,” praising its authentic recipe that strikes a perfect balance between savory and spicy. The delightful combination of shredded chicken, bean sprouts, and cucumbers creates a refreshing contrast, particularly when drizzled with the sambal made available on every table for those who crave an extra kick.
Che Sheila particularly highlights the distinctive smoky aroma achieved by cooking their fried rice in large woks over high heat. This technique adds depth to the flavors, making each bite a memorable experience. The absence of traditional accompaniments like egg and kerupuk allows the core ingredients to shine through, creating a dish that is both unique and comforting.

Other than the small size, the secret recipe could be an unique flavour and it was quite delish, I'd must say.

It's pretty well known in Pontianak for their fried rice, had mine a little bit too salty, but still enjoyed it. The place is kinda too crampy at crowded times, and not a place you go for a hangout

Best Nasi Goreng in Town. Not your typical Nasgor since they didnt include egg and kerupuk (available as add- on). The Nasi Goreng topping were only shredded chicken, bean sprouts, and cucumber. Kinda oily and they didnt use kecap. If you like it spicy, there are sambal on each table. What makes it special is the smoky aroma from the burnt rice and seasonings in the wok. They cook several portion in a very large hot wok so they can serve you quickly.

one of the best if not the best madurese style fried rice in pontianak. I don't think the other could rival iin's consistency. we don't have to wait for long. always deliver the taste that we want. never fail, not even once, well at least for me. ever since i have visited this place from years ago until nowadays, the taste is always the same. so i wouldn't get any disappointment if i go to this place to eat alone or with my family. the bad side of it is just full of smoker. not the place fault, it's just the smoker, they lack brain. whenever they finished their food, the first thing they reach is their cigarettes. sadly, nobody in iin remind them that this place is for eating, not for smoking.
