Blok M Square is buzzing these days, riding the wave of Blok M’s transformation into South Jakarta’s trendiest culinary hotspot. With new food tenants popping up almost every week, foodies are flocking here in search of the next viral bite.
Kedai Penuh Nikmat Brings Asian Comfort Food Heaven in Blok M Square
Tucked under the stairs of Pintu Mutiara 3—right across from favehotel Melawai—lies one of the mall’s most talked-about eateries: Kedai Penuh Nikmat. Surrounded by rows of cosmetics stalls, bookshops, and fashion boutiques, this humble spot has become a crowd magnet. Come during peak hours, and you might have to fight for a seat. Luckily, the service is quick, so your food arrives piping hot in no time.
The menu is all about hearty comfort food with a Hong Kong and Japanese twist, and the Ayam Mentega (Butter Chicken) is a clear winner. A full chicken fillet is breaded, fried to crispy perfection, then tossed in a luscious butter sauce over high heat in a wok. Topped with sautéed onions and served with warm rice, every bite is a delight—crispy and slightly moist on the outside, yet juicy inside. The butter sauce strikes a delicious balance of sweet, sour, and savoury.
For the beef menu, their Sapi Teriyaki (Teriyaki Beef) offers thick slices of beef sautéed with butter and onions, then coated in teriyaki sauce for a glossy finish. Served with coleslaw and a dollop of mayo, it packs a punch of sweet and salty flavours. However, the beef can be a little chewy, so be prepared to work your jaw a bit.
No meal here is complete without vegetables. Cah Kangkung (Stir-fried Water Spinach) is a must—its dark green leaves stay crisp, bathed in a savoury oyster-sauce-based stir-fry with a touch of sweetness.
For something snack-worthy, go for the Bayam Crispy (Crispy Spinach). Lightly battered and fried, these spinach leaves have the crunch of soft chips—perfect as a cracker substitute or just to nibble on while you wait for your mains.
Here’s the kicker: rice and ocha tea are refill, and you can refill as much as you like. It’s the ultimate deal for anyone with a serious appetite.
Blok M Square might be known for its bargain shopping, but Kedai Penuh Nikmat proves it’s also a foodie destination in its own right. Just come early—or be ready to queue.
