A list of things I ate at this resort

Address: Rempah Kitchen, Four Points by Sheraton Bintan, Jalan Panglima Pantar, Kawasan Pariwisata, Teluk Sebong Lagoi, Bintan Regency, Riau Islands 29155, Indonesia Price: 💰💰 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Located in Four Points by Sheraton Bintan, Rempah Kitchen is one of the restaurants you can dine at with the All-inclusive package. We ate here for one lunch and one dinner service - note that the menu is the same for both. Seating: I recommend sitting outdoors as it's a lot cooler than indoors. For some reason, the ventilation or air conditioning is not as cold as a tropical resort should be. No reservation is needed for this restaurant as it is quite empty throughout the day. This restaurant serves Indonesian food, which tastes and looks 10 times better than the Beach Club's offerings. For all dining, you'll get to enjoy some homemade prawn crackers while you wait for your food. Tip: Ask for their balado sambal, which is a perfect dip for these crackers. For starters, we tried: 1. Gado-Gado Betawie - 10/10. The peanut sauce was really good, an elevated version of the local gado-gado. Definitely a good portioned starter. 2. Rojak Tropis Jakarta - 10/10. Another light starter, more on the tangy side. You can ask to remove a particular fruit if you are a picky eater. The mango and pineapple were my favorites with the sauce. 3. Nusantara Platter - 10/10. A must-order for someone who loves variety in their starter. This was great for sharing. 4. Bintan Spring Rolls - 0/10. Not the vibe, skip it as it was bland. 5. Batagor - 10/10. The fried mackerel dumpling was really good. It was unique and very delicious. Do note that this starter was very filling. If you are going in a group, I recommend ordering different starters to share. For their mains, we tried: 1. Sate Madura Legendaries - 10/10. The chicken satay was so juicy and tender. Perfect for someone with a small appetite or on a chicken diet. 2. Salmon Sayur Lodeh - 8/10. It's a weird choice of protein and definitely a very heavy meal. The gravy was nice and coconutty, but I felt this dish could use something tangy. 3. Mie Goreng Selebes - 5/10. Perfect for kids but they have other better mains on the menu. It's your basic mie goreng, it's nice but nothing special. 4. Classic Creamy Pasta - 0/10. Why would you order a Western main in an Indonesian restaurant? Same question I asked my little sister. It lacked flavor and texture. 5. Seabass Kepri Sambal Pete - 8/10. The fish skin was crispy and the sambal was so good. It's nothing special but the sambal definitely carried the dish, and you can ask for it on the side without ordering this main. For desserts, definitely skip it. We tried: 1. Banana Fritter - 0/10. Bananas were not ripe and sweet like I wished they would be. The pandan sauce was weird, definitely not what was advertised in the menu ("Chocolate Sauce"). 2. Es Teler Cheesecake - 8/10. Very basic. Soft and fluffy with a nice balance in flavor. The portion is definitely for sharing.
