Review Pelanggan untuk Ta Wan

Hungry on a friday afternoon from campus, Ta Wan made my choice due to its low-budget and big-portion menu.

Food and beverages: 3/5
Ta Wan is a Chinese restaurant well-known for their porridge. I had their Bubur Special Tiga Rasa ala Ta Wan (their recommended dish), Bakmie Ayam Jamur, Bakmie Goreng Ayam, for greens Kailan Cah Bawang Putih, and Sweet Iced Tea. Starting out with Bubur Special Tiga Rasa ala Ta Wan, the porridge itself is quite bland, it’s better to mix it with salty soy sauce and pepper. “Tiga rasa” which translates into “three flavors” referred to the toppings on the porridge: fish, chicken, and shrimp. They could be more generous on these meats since the porridge was so big. All three were tender. Bakmie Ayam Jamur I had here somehow was different than the one I had in Citos. It was more greasy and the broth was more oily, but the noodle was still on point and the chicken and mushroom bits were plenty. Bakmie Goreng Ayam was too sweet, somehow creamy, as if they put too much soy sauce and seasoning in it. Kailan Cah Bawang Putih had a bitter aftertaste but it was quite savory. Their iced tea had a distinctive Chinese-tea flavor to it. All in all it was quite alright.

Price: 4/5
The price is quite low but their portion is generous. Bubur Special Tiga Rasa ala Ta Wan (large) costed IDR 26k, Bakmie Ayam Jamur IDR 26k, Bakmie Goreng Ayam IDR 30k, Kailan Cah Bawang Putih IDR 33k, and Sweet Iced Tea IDR 9k each. Their portion and budget covers up the average taste.

Ambience: 3/5
Located in the ground floor of Margo City, this place is quite strategic, considering tons students around the area. Minimum decorations. All-wood setting, tables and chairs. Spacious place, large round tables are available for family dining.

Service: 4/5
Waiter was very friendly. Always smiling and repeated my order without me having to ask.


Highlight: cheap food with large portion and near from campus! Try their porridge, it’s quite good.
