Whet your appetite with tahu isi, the fluffy fried tofu that is stuffed with mixed vegetables; bakwan jagung, the crispy corn fritters that explode with sweetness with each bite; Bala Bala, the crispy vegetables fritter with a satisfying crunch; and lumpia goreng, the vegetables spring roll with crispy skin and juicy crunchy insides.

Signatures here include the Gulai Kambing ($13.80), a curry mutton soup dish that usually indulges on special occasions by the locals. Keeping true to the recipe, the soup is simmered for over two hours and stewed overnight for incomparable flavor. Also, not to be missed is the Balinese Ayam Bakar Betutu ($29.80), having the chicken first rubbed with a traditional genap paste comprising of 16 Balinese spices and then marinated for half an hour before being sous vide in cassava leaves and grilled after. The traditional recipe typically has it steamed it but at Tok Tok Indonesian Restaurant, they take it a step further with the grilling for additional flavor.

For a contemporary twist, the Buntut Bakar Saus Kacang ($16.80) is a modern iteration of the Sup Buntut. Instead of cooking in a soup, the Indonesian buntut is coated with kecap manis and grilled for the extra smokey char and caramelization. Also available is the Buntut Goreng Sambal Matah ($16.80), another in-house creation served with homemade Balinese lemongrass chili salsa.

The Tumis Kangkung ($7.80) is also a popular favorite despite its simple nature of vegetables stir-fried with garlic, oyster sauce, and slices of fresh chili.
