We decided to lunch here as we were having seminar upstairs and could not afford to go too far for lunch. The place was packed, but we were smoothly showed to a table at the back of the restaurant.

Capitol Pork Ribs ($22++)pork ribs, sweet and sour sauce
The dish was served with a plate of plain rice. The serving was huge. The pork rib was tender but lacked of the crispiness which I preferred.
Beef Rendang ($22++)spiced beef, kaffir lime leaves, coconut milk
The dish was served with a plate of plain rice. The beef was tender and well flavoured. The gravy was rich and creamy, which went very well with the plain rice.
Crispy Bean Curd - Teuhu Telur ($16++)deep-fried bean curd, bean sprouts, eggs, peanuts, sweet and sour sauce
I was surprised at the size of the serving. Usually it was served as a single piece of bean curd, but here bean curd was cut into tiny pieces and deep fried, which made it easy to eat without tearing apart the bean curd. The sauce was surprising sweet, instead of the spicy sauce which I was expecting. Quite a delicious combination.
As I was paying with AMEX credit card with FAR card benefits, there was a 50% discount when dining for 2 persons. It was quite good considering the huge servings of the dishes. As the place was packed, one may needed to wait quite awhile for service.
