Out for a Night of Sundanese Food

Last weekend we went out for dinner at a Sundanese restaurant. The local people here are called the Sundanese.

Wow! The food was spicy, and we had just begun. We passed around krupuk (kind of like a cracker) and dipped it in the chili sauce they brought. They also brought a basket of greens to help with the spice- cucumber, basil, and some other Indonesian vegetables.

At this restaurant you sit on the floor around a low table on pillows. And you eat with your hands, even though you are served rice and different sauces.

The group of us who went, minus Emma who took the picture. From left Aaron, Me, Jennie, Molly, and Lindsey. We kind of all felt like we were in the Jungle as we sat under the a canopy with foliage all around.

Next stop was dessert at a local restaurant/hotel. But first we had to catch a taxi there. Even though the restaurant was on a busy street there wasn't a taxi in sight, so Emma, Molly, and I ended up walking along the street quite a ways. Finally a taxi stopped for us, but it was a sketchy one that didn't have a meter. At that point we didn't really have a choice. He probably overcharged us, but it's hard to tell. It was a fun evening out and ended up being a late night as we sat around and talked and played cards.
