A Culinary Journey at Foodlicious Siti Zulaiha: A Taste of Indonesia

Foodlicious, Adi Sucipto

Nayla

If you’re looking for a culinary adventure that dives deep into the flavors of Indonesia, then Foodlicious Siti Zulaiha is a must-visit spot located at Jl. Adisucipto No.2 Rembiga. This charming eatery offers a delightful mix of traditional and modern dishes that will tantalize your taste buds and give you a taste of local culture.

As I stepped into Foodlicious Siti Zulaiha, I was greeted by a vibrant atmosphere filled with the aroma of grilled meats and fresh ingredients. The decor is simple yet inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual diners and families. The restaurant is shared with Bakso Pak Majid, which adds to the lively ambiance, allowing you to enjoy a variety of flavors in one place.

Now, let’s talk about the star of the menu: the Iga Bakar (grilled ribs). This dish is a true representation of Indonesian culinary art, marinated to perfection and grilled until it’s tender and juicy. The smoky flavor combined with the rich spices is simply divine. One visitor raved, “ENAK HUHU TIMAKASIII,” which translates to “Delicious, thank you!”—a sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with!

Another highlight is the Jagung Susu Mozarella, a delightful corn dish topped with gooey mozzarella that creates a perfect blend of sweet and savory. It’s a unique twist that showcases the creativity of Indonesian cuisine. And for those looking for something refreshing, the Salad Buah Cup Medium is a clean and fresh option that bursts with flavors from various fruits. One guest mentioned, “Clean and fresh salad fruit,” which perfectly captures the essence of this dish.

The menu is quite varied, featuring everything from fried rice to chicken and duck dishes, but I must say, the standout items are the salads and their signature desserts. The Es Shanghai, a dessert filled with fresh fruits and sweet syrup, is a must-try. One visitor noted, “The Es Shanghai has a lot of ingredients,” and I couldn’t agree more—it’s a refreshing treat that complements the savory dishes beautifully.

While the service might not be the fastest, the food makes up for it. Just be prepared to pay at separate counters if you decide to indulge in both the bakso and the dishes from Foodlicious. The prices are reasonable, ranging from Rp75,000-100,000 per person for a full meal, making it accessible for everyone.

In conclusion, Foodlicious Siti Zulaiha is not just a restaurant; it’s an experience that immerses you in the rich culinary culture of Indonesia. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, this place is a gem that should not be missed. So grab your friends, come hungry, and prepare for a feast that will leave you craving more!

Stepping into Foodlicious on Adi Sucipto in Mataram is like opening a time capsule that transports you back to the warmth of childhood memories. The aroma of familiar dishes wafts through the air, evoking the essence of home-cooked meals and cherished family gatherings. However, my experience was a bittersweet symphony, filled with both delightful flavors and disheartening service.

Upon arrival, I was greeted not with a warm welcome, but rather with indifference. The cashier seemed aloof, and the staff appeared more engrossed in their own conversations than in attending to customers. It was disheartening to see the menu scattered chaotically at the counter, a stark contrast to the organized culinary experience I had hoped for. My heart sank as I ordered the salad, only to be served a wilted, unappetizing dish that was far from fresh. The disappointment was palpable; if they cannot provide fresh ingredients, it’s better to refrain from offering such items altogether.

As I sat at a dirty table, surrounded by the noise of staff taking selfies and joking around, I felt a growing frustration. The seblak I ordered was bland, lacking the vibrant flavors I had anticipated. It was a letdown, and I couldn’t help but feel that the essence of what Foodlicious could be was lost amidst the chaos.

Yet, amidst the turmoil, there were glimmers of hope. The menu boasted a variety of options, and I found solace in the fact that many dishes were well-received by others. The salad roll with sesame sauce and the refreshing buko pandan were highlights that many patrons raved about. I could see the potential for greatness in the culinary offerings, even if my experience was marred by service issues.

Despite the setbacks, I couldn’t help but reflect on the heartwarming moments that Foodlicious could provide. The restaurant has the potential to be a beloved spot for families, a place where laughter and good food intertwine. With a little more attention to service and a commitment to quality, Foodlicious could truly become a cherished destination for those seeking comfort food that resonates with the heart.

In conclusion, while my visit was fraught with challenges, I hold onto the hope that Foodlicious will rise to its potential. The flavors of home are waiting to be rediscovered, and I believe that with some improvements, this restaurant can touch the hearts of many, just as it did for me in my childhood dreams.
