Rijsttafel is a phrase coined by the Dutch for an Indonesian cuisine, literally translates as rice table. Albeit the simple name, “rice table” meals are lavish feasts that can take hours to consume. Served in the old days, enjoying a rijsttafel involved first heaping a dollop of rice onto your plate and then adding a spoonful of each dish as served by a waiter. Traditionally, each dish would be brought to diners by beautiful ladies in pompous style.
The Rice Table Restaurant presents the rijsttafel in a modern way by laying out the different dishes on a rechaud (food warmer). Sample the milder dishes first like the Ayam Panggang (grilled chicken), Sayur Lodeh (vegetable stew), and Terong Kecup (eggplant in soya sauce). Then work your way to the more spicy dishes like Kangkong Belachan (spicy water convolvulus), Daging Rendang (spicy beef stew), and Sambal Udang (prawns in chilli paste). As the food is kept warm throughout the entire meal, you can take your time enjoying the rich flavours of piping hot Indonesian food.

Visiting aunt and uncle brought us to Rice Table at International Building because they had had a wonderful food experience there about 5-6 years ago. The specialty was that they served many different little dishes with rice and would top up when finished…in typical Dutch Rijstaffel style. Unfortunately, these little dishes had grown a tad bit in size and were not refillable unless ordered…the quality of the food was good enough but service was really not attentive and the choice of drinks very limited, cordial fruit juices in a country where fresh fruit juices are so easily available. Our visitors were disappointed with their experience as they had such great memories of the place and were embarrassed that they had brought us there…shame really but it seems that the restaurant owners/managers have just let things go…very sad…hopefully they will read this review and do something about bringing back the “experience”. Thank you.
