Pondok Jawa Timur

Pondok Jawa Timur is a famous Indonesian restaurant in Singapore dedicated to Javanese food.

The restaurant's proprietor, Madame Indah, opened the first Pondok in the Indonesian Embassy in 2006. She expanded it to other locations, offering a taste of East Java, home to cities like Surabaya and Yogyakarta.

This certified Halal restaurant uses fresh ingredients to create a rich flavor profile that will transport your tastebuds to the island of Java.

Highlights:

Beautiful, filling spreads of Javanese staples: Pondok Jawa Timur serves traditional Javanese food with a large selection of dishes on its menu. You can always find your favorites in the sections of soup, meat, seafood, rice, noodles, and vegetarian dishes. Plenty of side dishes, such as boiled eggs, tofu, and sambal, are available to complement the meal.
The Signature Rice Platters are the stars of the menu: Their signature rice platters, such as Nasi Kuning Komplit, Nasi Kuning Ayam (Chicken), and Nasi Kuning Rendang (Beef), are among their best-sellers. Imagine delicious plates of yellow rice served with meat (fried chicken and/or beef rendang), omelette, fried potato balls, sweet and spicy potato chips, and Pondok’s sambal belacan.
A homage to Indonesia with traditional arts and crafts: The restaurant uses arts and crafts from Java, like masks and paintings, to celebrate Indonesian heritage and culture.
