Economical and big portion! $5.50 for Nasi Jaganan or Nasi Rawon. Nasi Jeganan comes with cuttlefish, begedil, tempeh, peanut sauce with bean sprouts and long beans, sambal chilli, and paru. Remember to request to remove paru if you don’t eat beef. Sauce can be more warm though. The overall taste is ok, I wish it can be more rich and flavourful. The longtong is always sold out before lunch, even I have yet to try it! Worth a try if there is no queue, I doubt I will patronise and wait if there is a queue!
