So while a few of us (including K) were visiting Y, we had the chance to order from her local Indonesian restaurant. Since Y is Indonesian, we let her do all the ordering and a feast showed up. Apparently this place makes home style Indonesian food. All I know is that it was absolutely fantastic. My favorite dish was the rendang padang, described as tender beef simmered in coconut and chili sauce. There was also Kari Terong, sauteed eggplant in curry sauce, Nasi Goreng Tahu Telor, Indonesian fried rice with veggies, eggs and tofu, Sate Ayam, Indonesian barbecue chicken with peanut sauce, and Udang Goreng Isi, stuffed prawn with spicy sweet and sour sauce (Y, correct me if I got any of these wrong!). Accompanied by white rice and onion crackers (like prawn crackers but with an onion flavor instead), we stuffed ourselves silly. I need to find an Indonesian restaurant in London. Anyone have any suggestions?
