We are not giving this one a Vie Score: only 1 person has posted about it for this dish, and we do not score anything under 3. It is on the list because what we did find is worth knowing.
Why it made the list: We recommend this for authentic Indonesian snacks and treats that are hard to find elsewhere in the city. It is the primary choice for those specifically craving traditional Pukis.

Google stars are not part of it, on purpose: everyone already has those. Too thin to judge means no score at all, which is why 2 of 3 places here carry one. Nothing in this guide is paid for.
