An Indonesian feast that won't dent your wallet
DESCRIPTION: This little gem in Hell's kitchen is perfect if you love East Asian food on a budget. The food is delicious, the waiters smile a lot and the portions are enormous. Though similar in appearance to the more popular Thai and vietnamese cuisines, Indonesian curries have a distinct flavor of their own. If like me, you have a fried rice fixation, I reccomend the Nasi Goreng which comes with succelent shrimp and chicken and deeply flavored chicken satay on a skewer, dabbed with peanut sauce. The dinner special which includes a free glass of wine, beer, a soft drink and dessert, as well as a sampling of several favorites is a bargain at $15 (veg) and $17 (non-veg). The roti kanai, more malaysian that inonesian is my new favorite here only because the cury is so much more delicious than the ones you get at Malayasian places.You can actually have a meal for 2 under $25 in New York and it's worth every penny.

Fine Dining
DESCRIPTION: Owner Yono Pournomo is what every fine dining restaurant owner should strive for. Not only does he consistently deliver fantastic and diverse entrees, but he is a friend to both the nubies and regulars. His son joined him recently as the somalier helping anyone with smart selections. One of the things I enjoy here is eating a special featuring something that could eat me (bear, shark, alligator, etc...) For the less adventurous there are standards, but you can get that at home anytime. Live it up. Yono's recent move to the Armory Center left some fans longing for the olde Brownstone in downtown Albany, but they have certainly set themselves up in an interesting environment.

Special Occasion Restaurant
DESCRIPTION: This is old world, classy, and formal. It's on the campus of Phillips Academy. Traditional decor and large fireplaced lobby greet you. It's the place you go for a special occasion, because it is pricey. But the food is excellent, the wine list terrific, and the desserts heavenly.

Delicious!
DESCRIPTION: This is a really great restaurant that serves unbelievably delicious food. Indonesian food is somewhat like Thai food, but more spicier. Be sure to order the tapioca chips to munch on while waiting for your meal. The staff are friendly and exceptionally attentive. I was particularily pleased since I have to avoid gluten, and when I told them I am "allergic" to wheat, they knew right away that my meal needed to be gluten-free and took the steps to ensure that it was such. That was a load off my mind. (If you are avoiding gluten, be sure to let them know, since some ingredients, like soy sauce, may have wheat in them...)

The Dutch Market, Rochester (NY)
DESCRIPTION: I tried the real Dutch "PANNEKOEKEN" (Pancakes) The flavor was very good; made me feel like being at home. The service was excellent and people are very welcoming. There is a very nice atmosphere, where you can truly relax, enjoy a taste of Dutch/Indonesian dishes. The place is different in the way that it does not feel like being in a restaurant. It's got a very homely feel. It is a nice place to take friends, but it is also a nice place to go on your own, as it is quite easy to meet people in the Dutch market.

RECOMMENDED DISHES : Pannekoek (my favourite)

DESCRIPTION: Indonesian Garden is hidden in a strip mall in San Gabriel. It's got about as much atmosphere as a second-rate video rental store, but the food is good. Go with a group so you can try a variety of dishes - recommended are the gado-gado (a sort of Indonesian cooked-vegetable salad with peanut sauce) and the rendang (beef cooked in spicy coconut milk). Portions are a little small. The strange drinks are probably the best thing about this restaurant - they're often brightly-colored, with fruit or gelatinous blobs or other edibles mixed in. You won't find these elsewhere, so muster up your courage and try them - you'll be glad you did.

If you're a true fan of Indonesian Food, better give this one a try
DESCRIPTION: Sabang has a lot of delicious Indonesian dishes, and it's not as americanized as any other foreign restaurants in the U.S. If you tell them that you are very familiar with Indonesian foods, they'll prepare the dishes even more authentically. Just tell them if you can't really handle the hotness that much though if you really can't. The prices are pretty reasonable for the quality, service, and quantity. And one more thing; you're gonna love enjoying the atmosphere and decoration in this place while having your great Indonesian Mea
