Located inside an alley, but it's actually not that small inside. There is parking space for 1 car but you only can use small car for entrace. Since it will be har for you to do U-turn but I can manage easily at the time. Authentic Sate Bandeng (40k each) at Serang. Most people come for takeaways only.

The location of the place is quite hidden. The entrance is very narrow for cars. Only by paying 40k rupiahs you can enjoy a unique and delicious Banten Milkfish Satay (Sate Bandeng khas Banten).

Bantenese original and traditional cuisine. Each is IDR 35K. Make a call during weekends before visit and purchasing it because it usually runs out very quick.
