Rendang at this place was fine. The deeply spiced with galangal and lemongrass flavour was there but not distinguished. kecap manis sweet soy was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Indonesian cuisine spans over 17,000 islands with dramatically different regional traditions. The a Jakarta street food cart setting was generic rather than immersive. kopi tubruk was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Rendang it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
