Looking for true Indonesian Food? Well this place is an “Wow” in my books! Another “hole in the wall” that you must try! True Authentic East Javanese food! If you ever swing by Lucky Plaza; hungry and want to try something new! Well this place truly hits that special spot in your stomach! Fulfilling that emptiness in you! Order: Nasi Campur Beef Set Taste: 5 star In one dish you get marinated soft beef that’s falls apart as you chew. With crunchy and the perfection of the clean one rice grain at a time! Truly an dance of textures as my tongue plays on. Price: 5 star For what you play the flavors and textures that you get is truly worth it! Filling you and allow you to walk away satisfied and full. Ambiance: 4 Star Need to work of the look or the feel. Suggest playing some nice Indonesian instrumental music. Thank you everyone for reading this post, as I walk through the surface of Earth. Trying to fill my mouth with the taste and textures of ingredients!

I heard there are good eateries at Lucky Plaza so decided to check out the place. Tried the ayam bakar/grilled chicken at Ol' Java and wow it's really good! Even the sambal chilli was savoury~ They have "Kopi Mantan" on the menu too and it's a nice Indonesian milk coffee with gula melaka and fresh milk. Definitely wanna go there again and try their Rawon Surabaya and Soto Lamongan next time 😄

Ol'Java is a fuss-free eatery on the second floor of Lucky Plaza with an old-timey, warung-like ambience and a finger-licking array of lesser known Indonesian specialties. The founder's vision is to serve indonesian dishes she loves from her homeland of East Java, particularly the port city of Surabaya. These include street snacks, soups, curries and some rice dishes that are hard to come by anywhere around Singapore. [What it's good for] • The nasi campur legend Surabaya may not look the prettiest, but it's definitely a moreish and tasty meal. The set comes with either stewed chicken (S$10) or sambal beef (S$11). The beef isn't as spicy as it sounds, but it's flavourful and tender enough to split with your fork. It's complete with a boiled egg stewed in soy and spice, and a puffy tofu steeped in curry. • Fans of spice will appreciate the sambal belacan, as it's hot enough to make pepper munchers break out in a sweat. It's a little garlicky, a little sweet, a little umami and just delicious. • The ketupat elite (S$7), which bears an uncanny likeness to lontong, contains boiled rice cakes in sayur lodeh (vegetable coconut milk curry), fried coconut shreds and tempeh. • Its bebek Madura (S$11.50), a deep-fried duck dish in crumbed coating served with fine-crumbled batter sprinked on top, is crispy on the outside and soft enough on the inside to fall from the bone with a light touch. • The rawon (S$8.50), a traditional Javanese beef buah keluak soup, was a nice colour and not too thick. The beef was tender and the soup was rich with a tinge of bitterness. • The traditional nasi kuning is a turmeric rice dish cooked with coconut milk and served with chicken (S$10.80), beef (S$11.80) or complete (S$14.80 -- both chicken and beef). There are also fluffy omelette shreds, a stuffed mashed-potato fritter and tempeh that's been candied. • If you've managed to finish every speck of sambal on your plate, treat yourself to an iced kopi kampung (S$4.80), a refreshing dark-roasted coffee with fresh milk and gula jawa (Indonesian palm sugar). [What it could improve on] • Though crispy, the fried chicken skin (S$7.50) is as bland as it gets. You could eat it with sambal, but it'd be difficult to get the huge chunks of skin coated nicely. [Our quick takes] • Is it conducive to conversation? — Turnaround is high during peak hours, but if you’re coming in the mid-afternoon — definitely. • Is a reservation necessary? — Walk-ins only. • How to get there? — Lucky Plaza is a two-minute walk from Exit A of Orchard MRT station. [Things to note] • Look out for Ol’Java’s occasional off-menu specials, which you’ll find at the counter. • You’ll also find old-school Indonesian lapis cakes from its sister brand Ol’Crumb sold here.

As a native of East Java I must say the rawon doesn't taste like rawon. It's also served in paper bowls. The soup was salty and didn't smell like rawon. Drinks are also expensive, a coke cost 2.50 and a teh botol 3 or 3.50. Maybe their nasi campur is nicer but won't be coming back for their rawon.

First time trying out this place. Ordered 2 sets of Nasi Campur Legend Surabaya with beef. The nasi campus was very tasty and the beef was tender. The accompanying chili sambal was also great. The only complaint is the seating limitations in this small cafe.
