Having eaten Rendang at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The deeply spiced with galangal and lemongrass quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. candlenut is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference.

I had never tried Rendang before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect.
