The food today was good.
In particular, the sour soup was pretty good. I both started and finished the meal with it.
Menu Description:
SAYUR ASAM [TAMARIND SOUR SOUP]
Sour soup of tropical vegetables like young jackfruit cooked with a mildly-spicy tamarind base.
The beef was super delicious.
Menu Description:
RENDANG* Mouth-watering spicy beef dish simmered slowly with ground spices and coconut milk.
*I might have ordered this.
I ate the chicken with my fingers. I liked the top piece more than the bottom piece.
Menu Description:
AYAM GORENG KUNING* Traditional Indonesian fried chicken. Fried chicken cooked Jayakarta style.
AYAM KALASAN* A tempting BBQ chicken, marinated in palm sugar and grilled Javanese-style.
*I probably ordered one of the two.
Note that a credit card requires a certain minimum, so my friend and I couldn't split the bill over two cards. 10:25PM PT

Sayur asam, Rendang, Empal balado.
Menu Description:
EMPAL BALADO Tender marinated beef, deep-fried then served with topping of chili sauce.
I like the one on the left more (Empal Balado), especially because of the red sauce. Though there is a tinge of tingling from one of the three items. The entree on the right (Rendang) doesn't really soak up any sauce and I have to break it open to fully enjoy it (with the sauce). The rice today was a bit hard. 6:00PM PT

Sayur asam, Kari Udang, Ayam Kalasan.
Menu Description:
KARI UDANG
Yellow shrimp curry mixed with potatoes. Currylicious.
My goodness this chicken is delicious!
Unfortunately, I found the shrimp curry (Kari Udang) to be less interesting. 1:06PM PT

Today I got B (Sayur Asam), #1, and #6. 1:28PM PT
Unfortunately, one of the two entrees gave me a serious stomach ache and I couldn't finish the meal.
Because I try not to waste food, I took the leftovers home and tried to eat what was left for dinner, one bite at a time. This resulted in a series of little stomach aches and no clear idea of whether #1 or #6 was causing the problem.
Actually, I began to suspect the sauce rather than the actual pieces of meat themselves, but I didn't remember which meat corresponded to the sauce.
