I’ve known RM Demangan for a quite long time. I still remember the first time I knew about this place was from one of my favorite influencer on instagram, @lucedaleco, the owner itself. First opened back in 2016 (cmiiw), this restaurant just recently reopen after their big renovation. And from what I noticed, this place just getting even cuter!

The ambiance of this place was very unique, classic and homey. Something that I think really resembles Clara a lot. The restaurant filled with classic wood based furniture. The walls painted in pastel color that somehow made it feel so comfortable. The lighting of this place make the restaurant feel warm (in a good way). Simple decorative are placed in every corner, it make the restaurant even more beautiful. And to freshen it all up, they put plants all over the place. In conclusion, I really love this place!

From what I read on their menu book, RM Demangan offered a simple homemade dishes that close to our hearts. A few menu that caught my heart instantly was their Sayur Lodeh, Nasi Campur and many more. Food that sounds so simple, yet warms your deepest soul when you eat it. Sadly since my cousin and I already eat before we came there, we decided to order some coffee and light snacks to accompany our chat that afternoon. We went with their Kopi Susu Demangan (IDR 18.000) and Pisang Bakar Gula Aren (IDR 15.000).

I’m not a big fan of their coffee, to me it was just okay. The coffee taste was strong but I personally think there were too much milk poured to the coffee. But still, it was decent and I would love to grab another though.

On the other hand, the grilled bananas taste amazing. They served us with a perfect ripe bananas that made it a little bit chewy, which was a good thing because I don’t like a mushy bananas. It was also nicely grilled without leaving any black bits. On top of it, they poured a lot of gula aren syrup and a handful of crushed peanuts. I love how the syrup wasn’t overly sweet and mixed with the crushed peanuts, the whole dish taste even better.

Will I be back? Definitely! I always love a place where you can feel like home that also offers you a great food. A little note though, the waiter/waitress seems a little bit off that day. They seems don’t have a clue about the food and a little bit slow to respond the guests. Maybe they just got staff shortage that day because I remember that I came on a national holiday. But still I would recommend this place to everyone I know :)
