I passed by this shop while getting lunch at the other food stalls at Feast@Kopitiam and returned with my sisters to try out the food. (Feast@Kopitiam actually has both hawker stalls and mini-restaurants housed within the same location) I was actually attracted to their signature dishes – Soft-bone chicken.We went around 4pm and the restaurant was fairly empty except for a few occupied tables, mainly families with kids.

We went around 4pm and the restaurant was fairly empty except for a few occupied tables, mainly families with kids. A brief background information about Malioboro, they are actually an Indonesian restaurant which first started in Bali, Indonesia before finding popularity and gradually expanded in Indonesia and recently opened its first overseas store in Singapore. The restaurant boasts edible chicken bones but I didn’t really put that theory to the test.
Anyway we ordered the Soft Bone Chicken with Salted Egg Sauce ($8.90), Tahu Telur ($6.50) and Ice Lemon Tea ($2.50). The latter tastes homemade with a slight tinge of lemon juice in it. Nice and refreshing. The Tahu Telor looks a bit different to the types which I had before. Instead of a cylindrical shape, it is more like a pancake made of tofu and egg. Regardless, its super nice with the sauce. The sauce adds flavour while the crushed and whole peanuts adds crunch to the tofu-egg combination. The sauce tastes a bit like the rojak sauce but it’s not as sweet or thick. If not for the sauce, the egg-tofu would taste quite bland.
I like the overall presentation of the Soft-bone chicken with Salted Egg Sauce. The sauce is really yummy with the faintest bits of salted egg in it, like there is some texture in the sauce. The rice is also modelled like a cone, very unique. The chicken is still relatively crispy and tastes great with the salted egg sauce. Though there are bones in the chicken, it is still largely a meat dish, reminiscent of a chicken fillet. Though we had to wait like 20 minutes for this dish, it was worth it.My sisters commented that other people were trying the original soft-bone chicken and so I think that’s what we should do too next time, having tried the salted egg variation.
