Appetizer Platter
A generous serving of Dancing Fish’s best appetizers. Hearty Pepes Goreng Sambal Matah, refreshing Salad Mangga Mangga, Cumi-cumi Goreng, Charcoal grill chicken satay.
Dancing Fish with Sambal Dabu-dabu
Fresh-from-the-tank Ikan Nila deep fried to golden brown, served in a presentation that mimics its graceful movements, alongside traditional salsa sauce from Manado, Indonesia.
Udang Sambal Hitam Madura
Summerkid’s favourite! Fresh Tiger prawns, wok-fried with Madurese black spiced chili paste – a type of bold, spicy sauce made onions, chili, garlic, spices, enhanced a hint of sweetness.
Bebek Goreng
A popular Indonesian dish, prepared using duck marinated in signature mix of Balinese herbs & spices for 24-hours, before deep fried to perfection. While we enjoyed the crispy skin, the meat is slightly dry to us.
Buntut Berlado Enak
Must-order dish if you like oxtail. Dancing Fish’s version uses Australian oxtail, marinated and braised with herbs and spices. Further flame-grilled over charcoal for smoky, charred flavours – sooooo delicious. Served with chilli jeruk belado.
Fun fact: Dancing Fish has 20 over varieties of sambals and sauces, all painstakingly made from scratch.
Gulai Pucuk-paku
Young fiddlehead fern shoots cooked with turmeric, coconut milk and spices. Scoop the sauce over steaming hot white rice, just one dish is good enough for a quick, comforting dinner for Summergirl on a normal day.
For dessert, we had Ais Kacang and Cendol. Portion that is good enough to share between 2-3 persons. We returned again with the family, and they loved it too!
