The Hjh Maimunah secret menu isn’t an official list, it is something better: the dishes and ordering tricks regulars swear by that never make the big boards.

For the standard lineup, see the Hjh Maimunah menu prices hub.
Is there a Hjh Maimunah secret menu?
Let us be honest up front: no, Hjh Maimunah doesn’t run an official secret menu. What it does have is a 40-dish counter where half the trays get ignored by first-timers, plus limited-time items that come and go without much fanfare. The “secret menu” is really a regulars’ menu, the dishes people in the know ask for by name and the little customisations the staff happily do if you ask. Everything below is real, orderable and priced from verified sources.
Which under-the-radar dishes should you ask for?
These are the trays people walk past on their first visit and beeline for on their tenth. They are all on the counter, just not the ones the lunch rush reaches for first.
| Dish | Why Regulars Love It | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Lemak Siput Sedut | Sea snails in spicy coconut gravy; the chain itself calls it the dish everyone deserves to try | $9.50 |
| Sotong Hitam | Squid in spicy squid-ink stew, rich and dramatic | varies |
| Lemak Babat | Beef tripe in coconut curry, tender and deeply flavoured | $10 |
| Tahu Telor Jakarta | Tower of tofu fried in crispy egg under peanut sauce | $8 |
| Sambal Goreng Pengantin | Festive-style sambal mix, a delivery-menu favourite | varies |
| Blackpepper Bakso | 2026 newcomer: meatballs with a punchy black-pepper finish | varies |
If you only try one, make it the siput sedut. Sea snails aren’t everyone’s comfort zone, but the spicy coconut gravy is the kind of thing people write home about.
Blackpepper Bakso: the 2026 newcomer
Launched across all outlets in September 2026, the Blackpepper Bakso is Hjh Maimunah’s own twist on the classic Indonesian meatball soup, finished with a punchy black-pepper kick. It’s the rare new dish that made the brand’s social feed twice in one week, and it is available now at every outlet. Ask for it by name if you don’t see the tray.
What ordering tricks do regulars use at Hjh Maimunah?
The counter rewards people who know how it works. These are the moves that separate a $10 plate from a great $10 plate.
- Ask for kuah campur: mixed gravies ladled over your rice. Sayur lodeh gravy over plain rice is half the reason people keep coming back.
- Build around one star: pick one signature meat (rendang $4.50, ayam goreng $4), then fill the rest of the plate with cheap sides like begedil ($1.50) and sambal telur ($2.50).
- Go before noon: the trays are fullest and freshest in the morning; popular dishes sell out by mid-afternoon.
- Sit upstairs: at Jalan Pisang, the second floor is air-conditioned and much calmer than the ground-floor rush.
- Watch their socials: promos like the Teacher’s Day free set meal and the double-platter $5-off deal appear on their feeds first.

How do limited-time items work at Hjh Maimunah?
Hjh Maimunah runs a steady trickle of limited-time dishes, and they are the closest thing to a real secret menu. The Single Ambeng, a one-person version of the sharing platter with chicken or beef, returned to all outlets in October 2026. Ramadan brings tingkat meal plans with a different menu every weekday, and festive seasons bring platters like the Hari Raya sets. None of these get a permanent spot on the menu card, so follow their official pages or ask at the counter what is on this week.
