Quite interesting to see the menu under the glass cover on the top of the table.The view of Jalan Sabang (Sabang Street) from the Warung Desa's window.
I ordered Nasi Pepes Bakar Isi Ayam (Roasted steamed rice with sweet soysauce chicken filling) wrapped in banana leaves. It's really good!
My colleague had a yummy Kwetiauw Goreng Seafood (Fried seafood flat rice noodles/char kway teow).

kyh: Hahaha.. yeah, especially for those who are living in Penang, the best place for char koey teow :D
ReplyDeleteThe rice cooked/roasted with chicken filling in banana leaf?
ReplyDeletemy goodness, the nasi pepes looks so so good....I must check this out if I visit Indonesia...
ReplyDeleteworldwindows: the rice is cooked first (but it's half done) then wrapped in banana leaf together with the filling, steamed and then roasted on charcoal.
ReplyDeletesimplegirl: Yes, you must, it's kinda authentic dish ;)
Interesting rice dish. So you mix it up to eat?
ReplyDeletetummythoz: Hahaha... I guess, it reminds you to "pepper lunch", right? No, I didn't mix it up when I ate it :)
ReplyDeleteThe rice dish so interesting~~Bamboo shape~~
ReplyDeletemimid3vils: Hehehe, yup, looks like bamboo shape.
ReplyDeletethis sure looks awesome delicious, I wonder if the char koey teow taste as the same as the chinsese vcersion?
ReplyDeleteNasi pepes - wrapped in banana leaf and roasted in charcoal? Must have been darn good! =D
ReplyDeleteBBO: Uhmmm... I'm not so sure about it, probably it's already adjust a little bit to Indonesian taste. Ah... someday, visiting Penang for the char koey teow is a must! :D
ReplyDeletebangsar-babe: Beside the yummy taste, it also has a nice aroma :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an elegant restaurant. I'm so glad you took us with us. The busy street outside is amazing with all of the different size cars.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in the islands we had banana trees in our yard and I've seen people wrap food in them and put them on the grill to cook. Your chicken dish looked fabulous and I could eat the whole plate of the fried seafood flat rice noodles.
Sam

ReplyDeleteMaybe it's time for my soup now :P
the rice looks more like Pulut to me.
ReplyDeleteOh, the rice must be fragrant.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so yummy.
ReplyDeleteWe have places all over that have the menu under the table top...I love the view from the window, some of those cars area very tiny.
ReplyDeletemy Carolina kitchen: I’m happy that you like this post. A lot of people here in Indonesia also have banana and papaya trees in their yard. Banana leaves give an extra aroma to the food :)

yummy looking nasi pepes bakar there. i'll love to have mine with some really spicy sambal! ;D
ReplyDeleteThat nasi pepes bakar is really good. I've tried it before in Jakarta and the traffic jam still as bad shown in your picture. XD
ReplyDeletesara: For the rice, actually it’s not really unique but it’s more authentic ;)
ReplyDeletesuperchef: Yes, I think one of their best dishes is the roasted rice steamed :)
livie: Hahaha… soup only? But hey, soup is also very nice and yummy especially with the mixed ingredients of care and love ;)
foodbin: Pulut? What is that? Sounds interesting though…
little inbox: Yes, it is because not only of the seasoning but also the banana leaves :)
ReplyDeletehelene: Yes, the food in this restaurant is yummy :)
Marybeth: Oh, that’s great! To avoid the menu from getting dirty and crumpled :)
nic: You really love sambal, don’t you? ;)
ReplyDeleteemail2me: Hahaha… the traffic jam as in my pic wasn’t really bad, that’s still ok… gotta show the worse one someday :D
Could you plse start a delicious Indon food chain here in KL so that we can also enjoy all these different delightful things,
ReplyDeletesurely can succeed because got so many Xpatriate Indonesian working here as well !
wa.. so many types of cuizine under one roof.. but is it cooked well or not?
ReplyDeletehow cool!!
ReplyDeleteBSG: Hahaha.. the business idea sounds tempting. Need to find a capitalist then :D But is it easy to open a business aka restaurant in KL?
ReplyDeletecumi & ciki: So far, no complaint heard. And seriously, my nasi pepes was really yummy :)
mara: Hi Mara, welcome to my blog.
There are some Indon set ups here in KL already so should be a normal everseas kind of business undertaking though seriously you will need manpower (to work) not forgetting money. We know one young Indonesian Chinese sis/bro family here doing Lounges and Clubs
ReplyDeleteBSG: Oh I see. Yeah, I might going to think about it seriously ;) I know that a lot of Indonesian restaurants in Netherlands are doing very good business because Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch before.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really cozy place to eat, and the nasi pepes bakar isi ayam looks delicious. I was intrigued by your photo of kwetiauw goreng seafood (also looks delicious!) and wanted to ask if the flavor is similar at all to pad thai. I want what you eat...every day!
ReplyDeleteHi there, Selba! I just wanted to let you know that we have a new widget at Foodista.com, I thought you might want to try it out. Check it out here! Let me know what you think of the new widget. Thanks!
ReplyDeletesapuche: Yes, the kwetiauw goreng is similiar to pad thai, except (if I'm not mistaken) that in pad thai it has crushed peanuts and lime juice for topping.
ReplyDeleteWell, you gotta move to Jakarta if you want to eat the same thing like me ;)
desmone007: thanks for the info.
Your dish looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI always come to this blog hungry :-)
monica h: Thanks!!! That's really a big compliment for my blog :D
ReplyDeleteSelba, which part of Indonesia do you stay? The food looks so delicious! who knows maybe one day i might go there for food hunting trip^^
ReplyDeletesakaigirl: I'm living in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. When you come to Jakarta, you can find a lot of authentic food from different places in Indonesia.
ReplyDeleteNice food :)
ReplyDeletelaveena: Yes, indeed :)
ReplyDeletesekarang warung desa dah buka cabang di TEBET?...
