It has opened since mid-1970s in Bandung - the capital city of West Java, Indonesia. Until today, it already has more than 50 branches around Indonesia (almost 30 branches are located in Bandung).
The way of serving food is like a buffet style where you can choose and put what you like to eat on your plate and pay exactly for the food that you are taking. Oh.. and in case, you like eating brown rice, you can ask for brown rice instead of white rice :)
The varieties of food that you can choose:
Fried Anchovy cooked with stinky beans plus red and green chilies, Stinky beans, Grilled squids in sticks (with or without sauce).
Fried intestines in sticks, Corn pancakes, Fried cow's tripe, fried cow's spleen.
Fried eel, Fried fish (Common/ European carp), Fish cooked with sweet soy sauce and tomato, Fried chicken with coconut.
Tofu (bean curd) soaked into turmeric, Potato pancakes (croquette), Shrimp pancakes, Fried shrimp in sticks.
Fried fish, Chicken boiled with turmeric.
Innards in sticks and also being soaked in turmeric.
Fried fish (2 types of fish), chicken soaked in sweet soy sauce (you can ask them to grill or fry it)
Steamed Food (i.e: chicken, tofu, fish and etc.) being wrapped in banana leaves.
Not sure whether this can be considered as salad.
The 4 authentic chili sauces. Each chili sauce has it owns special ingredients beside the chili.Fresh vegetables - lettuce, cabbage, basil leaves, cucumber, etc. dipped and eaten with chili sauce. It's free of charges.
It might not be a fancy restaurant but with the good authentic Sundanese taste and also reasonable prices, you might would love to eat at this restaurant, in fact, the original restaurant in Bandung is one of the favorite eating places of our current President and his wife :)Pictures were taken at:

i luv it! I'm one of those who like to take a bit of everyhin with my rice...& i'm sure those in the pkts of banana leaves must be real fragrant & tasty! Hre in Msia Sundanese food is very expensive..
Indo food too.
TNG: Wow, there's Sundanese food in Malaysia? I thought only Balinese food :) Well, Sundanese food can be also very expensive for us if it's in those nice restaurants, hehehe...
I would love to taste everything on the menu!!
peachkins: That would be nice ;)
Sundanese food is new to me. Which one is your favourite? The chilly paste looks appetizing to me. ;p
You always have such informative posts! Love them!
Oh gosh, I love buffets!
this one looks like a very healthy one, I love all the veg choices you have here! Indonesia sounds like such a diverse place, it just sounds like you're exposed to so many ethnic sub-groups and, most importantly, their foods!
Wow, there is so much food! Thank you for taking the time to explain everything. I wouldn't have been able to recognize most of the things in those photos!
What a buffet!! I think I like everything on it!
I do love a good buffet, but me and innards do not go hand in hand. I'll stick with the potato panacakes, the fried shrimp and coconut chicken-- I'm so adventurous!
MMMMMM....Selbaz!
All of the food looks so yummie!!
I would like to taste it all,...maybe some day,...
wow so much to choose from - I will take a little of each please...
I wouldn't know where to begin with such a delicious looking assortment in front of me. I'll have to have you at my side if I ever make it to Jakarta.
Everytime I look at your blog pictures, I am drooling and getting really home sick. Thank you for sharing and reminding us who live abroad, what a wonderful array of local food that we have.
FFT: I think my favorite is the fried fish. If you ever visit Indonesia, make sure to try out Sundanese food ;)
finsmom: Glad to share them :)
marta: You are so right about the diverse of ethnic sub-groups. We have more than 13 millions island and 200 populations, so you can imagine it ;)
mica: Hahaha, even sometimes for us, Indonesia, we need to ask or read the tag at the side of the food to figure it out.
HOGF: I think you will ;)
monica: Hehehe… I understand that not everyone is a fan of innards.
sophie: Hopefully you will visit Indonesia, someday :)
