Top Yammie (Noodle and Bubur)

Top Yammie is a Chinese restaurant on Jalan Labu. While it is far from being the best on that street, it is easily the most easily recognizable, with its bright, distinctive facade.

I was attracted to it like a mosquito to a lamp, thinking I had found something incredible, but I was rather disappointed.

I took the waiters recommendation: Yam Mien Special (Noodles, Rp29k++), Bubur Ikan (Congee, Rp26k++), Sapo Kodok Bawang Putih (Frog Legs with Onions, Rp63,000++) and Kangkung Cah Trasi (Vegetables, Rp30k++). The price for a meal should not exceed Rp100,000.

Overall: I thought the food tasted fine but it was not particularly impressive compared to many other Chinese restaurants in Jalan Labu. Rather than visiting Top Yammie, head for nearby Hunan Kitchen or Lac Mei Che (or Liyen a bit further, in Glodok).
Opening hours:
Everyday, from 7am to 3pm and from 5pm to midnight.
