  • PROPER PEDAS

    A$61.50 per person

    Prepaid

    13 Feb 2025 only
    Proper Pedas is a four-course pop-up dinner at Operator San. Nongkrong has invited tantes (aunties) from Melbourne’s Indonesian diaspora—home cooks known for making some of the best Indonesian food in the city—to prepare their specialty dishes, usually made for family and friends. Expect lesser-known Indonesian dishes, prepared exactly the way our tantes cook at home. They won’t hold back on spice or cater for dietaries, so please be mindful when booking. No pork will be served. BYO wine with a $10pp corkage charge. Beers and cocktails are also available. For large group bookings (8+), email hello@nongkrong.com.au

    We were served by a very rude lady that treated us like we were a huge inconvenience from the start, we also booked it because of lots of gluten free options on the menu, but when questioned they said there was only one dish which was actually gluten free.

    The waiters were all very sweet, attentive and were very patient as we wanted to wait until all our members arrived before we ordered (some people were running late). Food came in a timely manner and the taste and quality was very good. The café was a bit noisy, but that's to be expected with a popular place. The food was a little bit expensive, but overall was really great so I reckon it was worth it. I'm definitely returning for a brunch date with the girlies!
