Kusuka ~ Indonesian/Strayan, Darling Sq.


Whereas we mourn Dixon Home, we’re cheered to find Kusuka has moved across the nook to Darling Sq., their prior spot in Sussex Road was only a bit out of the best way for us. Kusuka has a particular place in our hearts, one of many few cafes that fancies up avenue meals while protecting its soul. The parents at are severely good cooks/cooks and exceptionally good folks.

Our favorite feeds at Kusuka are the pimped-out Indomie dishes, prettier variations of late nite drunken avenue feeds we have thoughout Indonesia, although we get the impression most folk are into Kusuka’s instagram-y drinks. And we have simply found the rissoles…

Kopi susu with a view – this little strip is a superb folks watching spot.

Nasi goreng – $15. Indo fried rice topped with googie and rooster schnittie. The schnittie is superb, they actually know the way fry some hen at Kusuka.

The rissoles ($4.90) are a must-try – egg and beef pastramie, crumbed and fried oh so completely with a beautiful crisp crunch. 

Cue dream sequence…

Historical past suggests Kusuka’s rissoles descended from the Dutch reign of Indonesia. And so they very a lot reminded us of the kroketten and bitterballen that we had as beer snackages in Amsterdam final 12 months – that very same pretty crunch, oh my.

Finish dream sequence…

Our go-to at Kusuku is the Hurricane ($14.50) – Indomie prompt noodles with corned beef, cheese, peas and a fried egg hat. A hangover favorite.

A more healthy vego possibility is the Backyard Bowl ($17.50) – Indomie with tofu, avocado, home acar pickles, pineapple, crunchy fried noodles and rendang sauce.

Espresso Tubruk ($5) – just like a Bali espresso the place you want to look ahead to the espresso grinds to sink to the underside earlier than slurping. As a black espresso lovers this actually floated our boats, wealthy and earthy. Additionally accessible with condensed milk.

Crimson velvet – $5. A sizzling milky drink in glass, like a Nineteen Nineties latte with out the napkin tied across the center. However there isn’t a espresso,  it has pink stuff with somewhat chocolate and marshmallow, refined however undoubtedly there. It is candy  however not too candy, simply the best way we prefer it.

Iced purple velvet and pink drink ($7) – these had been kinda like strawberry Fast, it is enjoyable, however the sizzling purple velvet latte drink is the one we’ll be again for.
