“ The best signature hainanese rice in Jakarta. Comes with pork, chicken and egg. ”
“ Old taste, delicious. Try satay hongkong ”
“ Legendary Roast Pork resto in jl Jayakarta. Since COVID they provide takeaway only. They provide rice set and ala carte menu, i prefer their ala carte. Personally i love their white roast pork that is crunchy & flavorful, but my family prefer their red roast pork, which is more into sweet taste Kinda pricy price point (i purchase for nostalgic sake) , not your everyday dish Note: In May 2021 it cost around 70k/100g for either white or red roast pork ”
“ Place to have roasted pork, salty style. Best in town for the salty type. They cooking also reminds me of my mother or grandma cooking ”
“ One of, if not the, best BBQ pork in town since 1970s. 3 generations of my family has always favored Harum over other BBQ pork places. It is pricey, but so is the quality and taste that goes with it. Time and again, never been disappointed. Don't let the simple, old, dilapidated place fool you. If you favor pork dishes, make an effort to try this place despite distance or traffic. Thank me later. ”
