About Manise

Manise Indo Cuisine, registered in Singapore as Manise Indo Cuisine LLP, operates from unit 03-39 in Lucky Plaza on Orchard Road, a mall long associated with Indonesian shops, remittance services, and restaurants catering to the city's Indonesian community. The restaurant's name plays on the Indonesian word "manis," meaning sweet, a nod to the balance of sweet and savory flavors that runs through much of its menu. Manise has built a reputation in the mall's food scene for a specific claim: it says it was the first restaurant in Singapore to bring empal gentong, a spiced beef soup associated with the Cirebon region of West Java, to local diners. Beyond that signature dish, the menu includes bakso meatball soup, gudeg (the jackfruit stew associated with Yogyakarta), ayam liwet, a Solo-style rice dish served with chicken, and kroket, a fried croquette snack with roots in Dutch-Indonesian home cooking. The restaurant keeps a six-day operating schedule, opening from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday, Wednesday through Sunday, while remaining closed on Tuesdays. Orders can be placed for delivery through foodpanda in addition to walk-in dining at the Lucky Plaza unit. Manise has attracted a strong following in a relatively short time, with reviewers on platforms including JoinHawker and local food blogs describing the cooking as consistent and comparable to home-style Indonesian meals rather than a westernized adaptation for a general food court crowd. Its Lucky Plaza location places it within walking distance of several other Indonesian-run businesses in the same building, including grocery and remittance shops, making the mall a broader hub for the Indonesian community in Singapore beyond just this one restaurant. Contact with Manise is maintained primarily through its Instagram account, where the business posts menu updates and photos of dishes, alongside a listed phone number for orders and inquiries. For Indonesians in Singapore looking for specific regional dishes not always available at larger or more established Indonesian restaurants elsewhere in the city, Manise's focused, smaller-scale menu offers an alternative worth knowing about.
