Gajah Mada - Pontianak

Classic Chinese cuisine restaurant. Basically, they serve for a large table that can accommodate 6-10 people. So it's better to come with friends or family.

This restaurant serves local cuisines with classy package, delicious taste, making us (me colleagues) choose Restoran Gajah Mada to bring our local and international guests to have lunch or dinner.

Food is over priced but this should be the classiest joint in town. Service can be much better for this price level but its NOT. Food is mediocre however the raw materials are of good quality, just NOT cooked to my liking. Prawns are over cooked and so are the crabs. If there's a next time ... Better to have them steamed with herbs.

This is a quite nice restaurant if you are having a family gathering and celebrating a birthday or a christening. It is best to book as you do not want to miss out on any tables. This is a well known Chinese restaurant as it can become quite busy. Try ordering a few different dishes so that you can see the different ways that they can be prepared. This restaurant is very close to the Harris Hotel around a 5 minute walk away.

Don't know the names of most of the dishes, but all taste excellent. The asparagus soup is superb. The jelly fish salad is extraordinary. Love the fuyunghai as always. Fried Salted-egg shrimp. Veggie on Yum egg nest. Dessert is special: ounie.
