Salero Kito

Actually this restaurant is the nearest halal restaurant from my flat. It only takes 6 minutes by walk to reach Salero Kito which is located in 21-23 Waverley Road, Malvern East,just accross Building H Monash University Caulfield Campus.

This restaurant serves Indonesian halal foods. Though it provides special menu like sate padang (beef) and ayam pop (chicken), but I love the foods the kitchen hand serves in the cabinet next to the door like beef Rendang, tempe mendoan (soy bean cake), kikil (beef),
and sayur daun singkong (cassava leaves). My favourites are the tempe mendoan and kikil.
They are sooo delicious. Tempe mendoan tastes salty whilst kikil is a spicy one. However, I
prefer ordering a portion of steamed rice with 3 dishes cause I will get a box of free Teh
Kotak as a special treat to a member of PPIA (Indonesian students association in Australia) :D

If it is your first experience of Indonesian West Sumatran cuisine, it is considerably good to open the website http://www.salerokito.com.au/ first so you may get ample description about what kind of foods sold here cause the cuisine is quite special. Unlike other Indonesian foods which have a combination of salty and sweet, it is well-known for the extremely hot and spicy (they use pepper and chilly alot) taste.

Another interesting fact is that the price is not expensive. For a portion of steamed rice with 3 dishes, I only have to pay $9.50. Fantastic, isn't it? No wonder students love this restaurant so much.

All of all, it is a must to visit Salero Kito when you have a time to visit Melbourne. I usually take my friends coming from Canberra and Brisbane even Jakarta here as I reckon it is the best West Sumatran restaurant in Melbourne. And they love it.
