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.

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.

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.
