MARMELLO

Marmelo feels like the Melbourne version of a warung makan hidden in the rice fields of Ubud—intimate, quietly artistic, and full of surprises
The ever-changing menu is driven by what’s fresh and in season, just like how Indonesian home cooks adjust to whatever ingredients are available in the pasar. You won’t find nasi goreng here, but the philosophy of food as a personal, evolving story shines through every plate. Paired with minimal-intervention wines and warm, almost familial service, Marmelo offers an experience that feels grounded, thoughtful, and deeply human—very much like a slow Sunday lunch in the Indonesian countryside.

CHERI

Cheri brings the elegance of a French bistro with the kind of hospitality that will remind Indonesians of dinner at a high-end resto in Menteng or Seminyak.
From the plush interiors to the rich sauces and generous portions, every detail feels luxurious but unpretentious. Think steak frites and crème brûlée with the same comforting richness as rendang or opor ayam—complex, satisfying, and made to linger over. It’s a great pick for a romantic night out or a celebratory dinner, where the vibe is fancy but never stiff. Cheri lets you slow down and enjoy food the way we do back home: with intention and good company.

supernormal

If you’ve ever had a proper Chinese-Indonesian family dinner—loud, fast, and full of bold flavors—you’ll feel right at home at Supernormal.
The menu channels the punchy, umami-rich style of Asian cuisine, with dishes that wouldn’t feel out of place at a Jakarta seafood spot or a modern dim sum resto in Pantai Indah Kapuk. The lobster roll and spicy dumplings feel like comfort food with an upgrade, while the quick, attentive service reminds you of a well-run resto in central Surabaya. It’s energetic, stylish, and perfect for sharing, just like makan bareng with your closest friends.

TIPO 00

Tipo 00 delivers the same warm, comforting satisfaction as a plate of homemade bakmi made by your oma.
The fresh pasta is crafted with the same kind of care and detail Indonesians put into hand-pounded sambal—it’s not fast food, it’s soul food. The space is tight but lively, like a small trattoria in Italy or a tucked-away mie ayam joint in Bandung with only a few seats but a big heart. Standout dishes like the truffle tagliolini feel indulgent in the best way, and the friendly staff make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. It’s familiar, even if the flavors are foreign.

ABOUT

Hi, I’m Renata — an Indonesian food lover living in Melbourne, and the voice behind Shall We Eat? My love for food started in the bustling kitchens of Jakarta, where the scent of sambal and sizzling garlic filled our home long before sunrise. My mother cooked like she was telling a story — every dish had a memory, a purpose, and a little extra chili.
Years later, I moved to Melbourne — a city that lives and breathes food. Surrounded by world-class coffee, multicultural cuisine, and farmers’ markets bursting with seasonal produce, I found myself rediscovering food in a whole new way. I started cooking more, experimenting with fusion flavors, and sharing meals with friends who came from every corner of the globe.

That’s how Shall We Eat? was born — a place where I share recipes, local food finds, cultural bites, and little stories from my kitchen to yours. It’s not just about what’s on the plate — it’s about where it comes from, who we share it with, and the memories we create around it.

So… shall we eat?
