History

Established in 2014.

The founding of Pondok Bamboe Koening was greatly inspired by the environment that the founders exposed to, that was bakmi in Jakarta and Hakka food culture. Hence the choice of the word Bamboe Koening was chosen because of its resemblance to bakmi — yellow in colour, with long and springy attributes of bamboo. The word Pondok was then added due to the characteristic of the establishment that is modest, not overly large.

Hakka influence can be seen in the dishes such as the traditional mie (mie ayam, babi, etc), Babi Samcan (扣肉: Kòu ròu — Mandarin), and Babi Special (燜豬肉: Mèn zhūròu — Mandarin). All of the dishes are made in-​house, with the exception of fish ball, rice noodle, and flat rice noodle. Unlike many other establishments serving noodle, PBK made their own bakmi without any addition of preservative or colouring. Additionally, no MSG is added in all of the dishes — just right combination of salt, sugar, pepper, and other sauces — so you can enjoy our food worry free!
