Warung Tekko - Spice Up Your Palate

This place makes the ultimate throw down between my taste buds and my tummy. Within the mouthwatering dishes, greatest chili, and the running around to the bathroom every hour - I gotta say it worth every sensitive stomach pain I have to go through the moment after I walk out of the Tekko door. And still, lessons never learned...

 

white rice or red jasmine rice?
  

ayam penyet - traditional tumeric fried chicken served with smashed red chili sprinkled with fried white garlic.

Iga bakar penyet - tender short ribs served with smashed red chili sprinkled with fried white garlic. the amazing tender meat and spicy chili is super addictive.
  

gurameh goreng kering - deep fried grameh coated with special sauce served with smashed red chili sprinkled with white garlic. very crispy delicious, yet so tiny.
  

young coconut refreshes the aftertaste of spicy chili and garlic.

The rest after this is what I call hell, but I promise to take care of you, tummy...

Tesate - I'm Home!

Coconut milk, peanut sauce, and chili ingredients - I know I'm home! Indonesian food traditionally known for complex spices and burst of flavor on a plate and that's how I describe Tesate. The place is the upscale version of Sate Senayan, the Indonesian food chain restaurant which are delicious food and affordable. Authenticity is comparable with Indonesian street food vendors, but you know when you're dining at Tesate, you're partly paying for the atmosphere.

rujak pengantin salad - light tasting, fresh salad with egg, and deep fried crunchy noodle, that awakens the palate. the sour peanut dressing adds complexity yet interesting flavor. 

gule sengkel - tasty, succulent lamb shank, slowly cooked to fall-of-the-bone tenderness in light green curry.

iga kambing bakar - tender, juicy grilled lamb ribs with traditional bbq sauce.

 

makasar beef satay - exotic combination of aromatic beef with mouth watering, intensely sour starfruit sauce.

klapper tart - melt in your mouth young coconut cake with a scoop of refreshing coconut ice cream.

Java Spice - Taste of Indonesia

Regardless I'm a native Indonesian, I have to admit Indonesian food is my personal favorite in terms of flavor, spice, and ingredients. Growing up, daily cuisines were Indonesian beef Rendang, Tumeric fried chicken, and Gado-Gado which created heavy cravings for serious relish whenever I'm away from home. Java Spice is one of a few authentic Indonesian restaurants in LA that reminds me that home isn't ten thousand miles away.

Now, enjoy some Indonesian food porn...
