Lapo Rapolo Pahlawan Proklamasi, Jakarta June 2018 their panggang is meh, their saksang is okay, their arsik is good, and their goreng is even better. i would say go for the arsik or goreng unless you really have a hankering for saksang or panggang they are kind of expensive at 7 K IDR for rice, 28 K IDR for panggang, and 35 K IDR for goreng however, they don't cheat on their juices and they carry the somewhat rare terong belanda so at 15 K IDR for a tall glass, their juices are definitely great value for money
