I went there on July 2007. Since there is no Indonesian restaurant in Winnipeg, I visited twice while I was in Vancouver. I love their batagor.

I’m definitely going to go back. It’s miles better than the beef rendang that I had at Jonker Street a couple of weeks ago.

Wow, you picked exactly what I’d have recommended – the beef anyway. I’d agree the spring rolls are nothing special and since many people start their meals off with them, it unfortunately, sets the meal off on the wrong foot. Unless you ask for it, they don’t always bring it to the table, but Pondak also make the most amazing hot sauce. Deep and rich in flavour, no doubt a factor of the shrimp paste in it, and not too hot, it adds yet another layer of flavour to the meal. My mouth is watering. BTW, their Mee Goering is also excellent as are most other of the lunch menu items, a bargain really at under about eight bucks.

Blast it all, that looks delicious and now I need to make the trek all the way to the Drive to get some. Or at least try to remember about it the next time I’m over there and not get distracted by the Belgian Fries place!
