Last week I met a friend at Kantjil & de Tijger, an Indonesian restaurant located at Spuistraat 291-293. I hadn’t been there for a number of years, but fondly recalled the food. We managed to get a spot outside in the sun and watched the busy after work traffic go by.

The restaurant has a special offer for a complete meal with different choices of dishes for 9.25 Euro. The special was good until 18:45, so we quickly ordered and waited in anticipation. The service was prompt but my friend got the wrong dish, so she waited while I ate. Somewhat guiltily I enjoyed my mix of white rice, gado gado and another vegetable dish. However, the food is served in a single bowl, which made me wonder if a special of almost 10 Euro was really worth it.

I’ll be back, but maybe next time I’ll explore the menu a little more first.
