a...thanks! And thanks for going to Java Spice w me.<br />and yes, I think Toko Rame's is the best after all, tho Java Spice's was pretty darn good too.

So as for #1: Indonesia is now...Thanks Exile Kiss!<br /><br />So as for #1: Indonesia is now a Muslim country so traditional dishes like nasi bungkus - with the exception of ones from certain regions - would not come w pork. They'll be "halal" in other words.<br /><br />They're also not always spicy although the beef rendang portion tends to be. They usually come with a dollop of chili paste on the side/corner so just be wary about accidentally mixing that in ;)gourmetpigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043385325645560283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806746107661934299.post-54287415815951565752010-03-22T19:52:12.359-07:002010-03-22T19:52:12.359-07:00Hi burumun,

I noticed that all 5 places you tried here in L.A. had Beef and Chicken only.<br /><br />2. Is Nasi Bungkus always spicy? I remember trying this once and it was pretty spicy (I was unprepared). :) <br /><br />Thanks!Exile Kisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510114278526493928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806746107661934299.post-18711342443338445462010-03-17T22:01:52.519-07:002010-03-17T22:01:52.519-07:00So great!

Nasi bungkus is one of my favorite Indonesian dishes but I'm ashamed to say I've only tried it at Simpang Asia and Java Spice.<br /><br />Maybe they were having an off day or maybe I'm just partial to Simpang Asia, but the version at Simpang Asia was way better. Java's was too bland and the meat had an 'off' taste when I had it.<br /><br />I've been consistently pleased with Simpang Asia's, especially the gizards. They're like little treasures buried in the rice. Yum. Now I'm craving it and thinking about going for lunch tomorrow.nakedsushihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343604556451662098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806746107661934299.post-49860499488527852982010-03-16T18:23:16.152-07:002010-03-16T18:23:16.152-07:00Elmomonster: Haha on the other hand I'm finick...Elmomonster: Haha on the other hand I'm finicky about traveling INTO OC :P<br />I was at Toko Rame on Saturday but pretty early, I don't think you were there, there was just a couple eating.

Had no idea about the others, but I'm furiously finicky about travelling outside of OC unless I have a good reason. This might just be it.<br /><br />And what a coincidence. I just had nasi bungkus a week ago at Toko Rame too. I wonder if you were there at the same time I was?<br /><br />People's Court was on the TV and it was some chick who was yapping about how her mortgage was upside down...really an unpleasant dining soundtrack. Good thing the nasi bungkus was perfect.<br /><br />BTW, I've also seen nasi bungkus at Pondok Kaki Lima.elmomonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102068612919963395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806746107661934299.post-31269866095695044282010-03-16T10:25:57.102-07:002010-03-16T10:25:57.102-07:00the one in La Verne didn't have it I think .. ...the one in La Verne didn't have it I think ..
