Looking for Warung Doyong 1? Don't confuse it with any other numbers – the real deal is Warung Doyong 1.
Although it may appear medium-sized, the place feels cramped due to the bustling crowd. Arriving promptly at 10 a.m., there was already a line of 5-10 people waiting to get in.
Seating involves a bit of strategy – you hover near a table that's nearly finished. While it might seem impolite, it's the norm here. But the reward? Indulging in their renowned Indonesian yellow spiced fried chicken.
We grabbed our food straight from the center table, filled with fried chicken, tofu, tempeh, and various Indonesian Sundanese delicacies. Then, we rushed to secure a table before someone else snagged it.
As for the taste? Simply divine. Jakarta hasn't seen fried chicken this delectable. The chicken is juicy, flavorful, with perfectly crispy skin. Paired with their fiery chili sambal and coconut fried crumbs, it's a solid 10/10.
Note: there is a juice booth in the corner of the restaurant. Here you can extinguish the hot chilli sambal with their super refreshing Mango Juice, Orange Juice, Strawberry Juice, Dragonfruit Juice and many other seasonal fruits.
