In the month of October 2024, Permata Singapore is bringing you 1-FOR-1 Halal buffet with the rich Flavours of the Archipelago – a culinary journey through Indonesia.
Highlights of this feast are:
Nasi Liwet Sunda is an Indonesian rice dish, cooked in coconut milk, chicken broth, lemongrass and spices. At Permata, the Nasi Liwet is to be enjoyed with Teri Kacang Balado, Ayam Goreng Rempah, Sambal Bawang Iris Petai, Perkedel Kentang, Tahu, Tempe, Lalapan, Sambal Geprek and Cabe Ijo.

To our surprise, the rice is one of the most aromatic and delicious rice we ever tried. It is an elevated version of regular coconut rice and we can taste the OMPH and Shiokness in this fluffy rice.
The Ayam Goreng Rempah has a super tasty exterior, followed by succulent flesh. The rempah seasoning absorbs into the chicken flesh and bones. Together with different types of sambals and petai, it just adds to the SHIOKness of this dish. Superb!!!
Mie Bakso. One of the most popular Indonesian street foods. Usually, the bakso (meatball) is made from beef but the version in Permata uses chicken instead. Although it is different from the street version, the chicken meatball is bouncy and tasty. Accompanied by the robust and savoury broth, plus quail eggs, it is worth trying.

Bubur Ayam Jakarta. A dish that is close to my heart. I enjoy this dish from a push cart during my secondary school days in Jakarta. The bubur (porridge) is blended with the chicken consommé, delivering a flavourful combo. For the toppings, I added crispy fried shallots, fried peanuts and spring onions. Thumbs up from LD (who was not a fan of Bubur Ayam), and she went for second helping.

Fish & Shrimp Geprek Casserole and Cabe Ijo Chimichurri Chicken Enchilada. An inspired fusion dish, presented in Western and Texmex style. The fish and shrimp casserole is creamy and spicy, while the cabe ijo chimichurri chicken enchilada is tasty, packed full of heat, and it is good to be eaten with the keropok.

Mie Goreng Jawa. Classic version of fried noodle. Aromatic, loaded with egg and the thick yellow noodle is covered evenly with kecap manis. On top of that, it is also filled with a touch of “Wok Hei”.

From the grill outdoor live station, we have Ayam Bakar Jakarta and Udang Bakar Jimbaran. One of the ingredients in Ayam Bakar Jakarta marinate is kecap manis. Due to the sugar content, the exterior of the chicken caramelises with a lovely sweet and charred flavour. On top of that, it sealed the juices in the flesh together with the marinate. Yummy!!

The Udang Bakar Jimbaran have similar marinate as the chicken, with the addition of chilli. Yes, the prawns are spicier, however, unlike the chicken, it did not seal the juice very well.
Timor Leste Barramundi Sabuko & Budu Air Asam. Hail from Timor Leste, where it used to be part of Indonesia. Permata uses the big size of barramundi, marinated in a zesty blend of tamarind, turmeric, and lime served with fermented budu and spicy tamarind sauce. The result is a refreshing coastal flavour dish. It is bold, tangy and brings up the texture of the fish nicely. LD and I scoop a big portion of this because it is just so so good. Yum Yum!!

Balinese Lakak. Balinese traditional pandan pancake, grated coconut, sweet palm sugar. Think of it as a mini pandan pancake. It is aromatic, chewy and tasty. The topping of grated coconut and sweet palm sugar is just addictive.

Overall, the culinary expedition through Indonesia brought back nice memories of the street food that I liked to consume when I was young, especially the Mie Bakso and Bubur Ayam Jakarta. The Nasi Liwet Sunda combination is just a “FLAVOUR BOMB”, not forgetting the flavour from the sea coming from Timor Leste Barramundi Sabuko. Cheers!!
