nasi lewet bandung..

I've heard a lot about the uniqueness of having lunch or dinner at a authentic Sundanese restaurant but never have the opportunity yet until last week during my trip to Indonesia. i dont really remembered whats the restaurant's name that my sister recommended since she went there just a few weeks before. i always believe what she says because for me, my sister and her husband is like a 'dewa-dewi makan' (food god and goddess). they have a very good and high taste in foods. but as long as its Sundanese restaurant it will be ok for me. so we dined at Sari Pawon Restaurant.

me at the enterance. pretty scary!

actually there were 5 of us.

the place definitely looks a bit mysterious for me when i first arrived. just take a look at the entrance. do you see a restaurant or a souvenir shop?

a restaurant of local style

deciding where to sit

 

lovely place to sit and enjoy our meal. inside a village hut

the path that leads us to our small hut

'ikan kalui' (gurame)

Sari Pawon Restaurant looks like any ordinary restaurant we could find back here in KL, but only from the outside. Once inside, there are cute bamboo huts and serene water features decorations that brought us closer to nature.

'nasi Lewet Nampan Parahiyangan Bandung'

'nasi Lewet Nampan Parahiyangan Bandung' is a delicious and tasteful rice cooked with some herbs and coconut milk normally served with 'ayam opor panggang' (soy sauce roasted chicken), 'ikan masin' (salted fish), 'tahu' (beancurd/tofu), 'tempe' (soybean cake), 'sambal' (spicy chillies condiment), 'kerupuk' (tapioca chips) and 'lalap' (bitter bean, cucumber and fresh basil)

Traditionally, nasi lewet is served on a banana leaf.

overall food was fantastic!

but....................................................

this really made me off!!

what the heck!!! its chicken's head!!!

i still can consider if they served the chicken's feet or chicken's neck or chicken's gizzard or chicken's backside but chicken's head really turned my eating mood off! sorry to say for me it was so gross!
