I love Indonesian Cuisines; adore their tingy spiciness, combined with fresh ingredients, with all the signature sambals and ayam sauces. Yet Garuda is a disappointing one. Why so? Even though it looks very appetising with its display of the variety of dishes at the counter, the food upon being served was not warm enough. Moreover, it lacks the traditional padang taste of spiciness, and the food is not very fresh. It seems like an attempt to please foreigners' tastebud, rather than really showing off the true taste of Indonesia's sambal and ayam.... In other words, the concept of Garuda is like a Indonesian Fastfood cuisine, where they can serve you quickly with their pre-cooked food, thus compromising with quality. Even their iced-tea, tasted more like sugar syrup which is too sweet, that I couldn't taste the "tea". What I ordered: Sambal Cumi Cumi (squid), Sambal Udang (Prawn), Sayur Lodeh (curry veg which is filled with long beans rather than anything else), fried dory fish and fried egg.
Venue: Vivocity outlet.
