Rumah Makan Sari Sanjaya is a treasure trove for lovers of authentic Palembang cuisine, located in the heart of Kelapa Gading. The menu shines brightest with its wide array of pempek, the iconic fish cakes that are a true Indonesian delicacy. Each pempek is crafted to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender inside, and bursting with umami flavor when dipped in the tangy cuko sauce.
Beyond pempek, the restaurant offers other traditional Palembang specialties such as pindang patin (spicy fish soup), gule ikan kakap (snapper curry), and crunchy kerupuk Palembang (fish crackers). I found the mie kuah comforting and flavorful, a warm bowl of noodles in rich broth, ideal for any time of day. For dessert, the es kacang merah and ice kacang durian are refreshing treats that perfectly balance the savory dishes.
The vibrant menu highlights Rumah Makan Sari Sanjaya’s commitment to quality and tradition, making it a must-visit for anyone craving a genuine taste of Palembang.
