Special Offers

I’m quickly discovering that Indonesian’s are mad for a bargain, highlighted by the opening of a new branch of the well known mini chain “Kantin Wisata”. Throughout September, set seafood lunch, pay what you like. I think a similar offer was run recently somewhere in London and they discovered that customers actually paid more than the listed price; this short anecdote provided great amusement to my team, and after much heated discussion it was agreed that we should pay 10% of full price. A total of $3 was handed over for seven people. The waitress asked if we wanted change.

On the menu: delicious freshwater fish of unknown name cooked in two ways (one fried, two grilled), chili crab, calamari, chilied greens, rice and various sauces. All heartily attacked, eaten with hands and washed down with a vanilla bun.
