It was the Mi Goreng packet noodle mashups that lured us in the first place, they sounded like a bit of fun. But we soon learned that these folks can seriously cook and they're quite creative, and instagrammy.
Kopi hitam - $4.50. Brewed coffee. We like to save the side of condensed milk for dessert.
Mighty nest - $17. A good hunk of chook deep fried with a lovely thick crunch and spice kick (optional, recommended), with a fried egg party hat on top of rice and crunchy deep fried instant noodles, a little salad-y fresh nice and a good dash of white pepper. This is more than fun food, the folks at Kusuka can seriously cook and have a great touch when it comes to balancing flavours.
Yum kwetiau - $16. Slow cooked beef brisket on boiled flat rice noodles made extra fancy with salad-y and crunchy bits. The plain clean wet noodles are a nice foil for the rich meaty bits. It is dressed in something subtley yum that we can't put a finger on. Yay chef.
Papa's congee - $13.50. Rice porridge with pork mince, pork crackling and omellette slices. Nice'n'porky.
Kopi susu - $5. Indonesian coffee sweetened with condensed milk. We just love saying 'kopi susu'.
Kusuka is at 12/339 Sussex Street, City.
