This is a hidden gem behind RMIT building 80. We have been here so many times for their CRAZY rice. It is very flavourful and a bit spicy.
Budget friendly place, nothing special and you get what you paid for. Friendly staff, good food good taste of spices. Though rice is a bit plenty compared with the dish. This is perfect for big rice eaters. Ordered chicken rendang and mild spicy is perfect for me for a cold weather.
This place is quite hidden amidst the chaos of construction around the RMIT precinct. The interior is showing its age with run down furniture and dull colours everywhere. Having said that though, the food and its pricing is extremely attractive.
You can get a decent sized meal for less than $10. Their menu items are quite limited but the fair exchange is the speed of the service. For today, I had the butter chicken and the rendang chicken. The former was nothing like any butter chicken that I have ever eaten - it was fried chicken with some cheesy sauce on it. The rendang chicken was exceptional and tasted like the real deal. Both dishes came with rice and vegetables.
Love your work Kaki Lima!

The menu at Kaki Lima is straight to the point, there are 8 options available and the food comes out shortly after, ideal for takeaway. Although we were eating in we were given plastic bowls, I hope they change it to a combination of reusable bowls for dining in or biodegradable bowls for takeaway.
Besides that their food is modern Indonesian so expect some interesting interpretations, I can almost hear the Indonesians cry foul about their crispy chicken rendang. I order up their pork belly sambal matah, the sambal on top of the pork made the dish, spicy with sweet onions. It soaked into the rice and it never felt bland. The pork belly although it had decent crackling, the bottom half of it was dry and not my favourite. Fix that and you've got a killer bowl.
My friend really enjoyed their 'crazy' rice, he did say it did become a bit salty but the flavours were fantastic. Not something you'd order everyday however.
Our portions were of large size and it was filling. They've got a good price point and it reminds me of a couple other fast Japanese outlets making quick trade.
Too good. The only bad thing I'd say about kaki lima is that I probably uber eats it way too much. As in ordering 4 bowls per delivery and then saving to eat them for the next few days. Crazy rice π
Kaki Lima offers an alternative to the more common Indonesian dishes found in Melbourne, and I keep telling myself I should try out the rest of the menu, but on both occasions we had the Crazy Rice and Pork Belly Sambal Matah.
The Crazy Rice is an interesting take on a traditional fried rice. A combination of minced meat, sausages and chicken pieces (very stingy on the chicken though), topped with crushed dorito chips and mixed with sweet soy sauce, it was very flavourful and a comforting feed.
The pork belly was, on both occasion, moist and tender, with a layer of crispy skin. Top marks for consistency. However, definitely could do with more sambal matah to give this dish a much needed flavour kick.
Pretty good value for money, and the portion size is just right for me but for my partner, he definitely had space in his tummy for more.
The food is good. I really like the different thpes of chilli they offered.
The portion a little too small.
Great place to go for quick lunch

The taste is normal. Not really that awesome, but i didnt really feels that the food is like indonesian food. Price is worth with the quality, but then will be great if there is free tap water :).
Right next to The RMIT University. Went here with a few colleagues on our lunch break. This is another suprisingly good place for a quick lunch. Very close to our office. So we had put it on our lunch spot in the office. The food tastes great. Definitely gonna try out other items in the future.
Never had Indonesian food before. So I don't know what to expect. But when it comes to South Asian food then tend to be spicy, creamy and rich in flavour. Ordered the sukiyaki and bang j noodle it was super tasty. Love it

Lunch have never been so better and delicious, until I dined in @kakilima.au who serves authentic, spicy and delectable Indonesian food that is loved by one and all.
Personally I loved and would highly recommend the Grilled Fish Rica-Rica, that is so incredible that I fell in love right from the very first bite. That Rica rica salsa sauce complimented so perfectly with the grilled fish that was so soft, succulent and cooked with perfection.
But you won't wanna miss the 'Crazy' Rice and there's a reason why it's called Crazy?! If you love heat and spiciness, then this one is a must. It's a deconstructed fried rice with yummilicious meat combo and rich sweet soy flavor and you have the option to make it devil hot as well.
Although someone who can't handle heat, must definitely go for the Indonesian Butter Chicken, it's so homey in one word. You might call this your go-to comfort food after having it. It has got melted cheese at the top, perfectly cooked and tender chicken pieces and comes with a sweet margarine sauce. It's so fantastic and yum.
They serve their menus in a cute paper bowl and the amount is more than sufficient for one individual. Also it's got a cozy space, overlooking the RMIT basketball courts, and the staff is so friendly and kind.
@kakilima.au has launched a wide variety of chilli oil and crunchy munchy hard-to-resist snacks. So definitely check those out.
